Disagree; the Patriot Act had plenty of easily determinable ways things could and did get worse.

If they could st[w]ill get away with doing this to gays and blacks it would be happening to them instead.

With the word “Princess” spelled out in diamonds washed in the blood of African children!

At this point I’d nearly appreciate the removal of old.reddit or RES. My desktop browsing experience hasn’t changed in roughly a decade and a half and that’s a shitload of inertia. A few trims of my subscribed list has limited my exposure to the worst of the slop and botting.

Mobile is absolutely a different situation for both Reddit and Lemmy alike. I found Jerboa shortly after the API disaster and have stuck with it since, but I probably need to look into tweaks for desktop/browser Lemmy. RES and old.reddit are a killer combo but fuck their ‘official’ app and the ‘new’ interface.

Regardless, I no longer participate on Reddit and highly prefer interacting here; more interesting and informative conversations by far.

Might I suggest EUAD for the anti-Russia play?

Seriously, all these comments about fucked-up and predatory content…has anyone considered quitting Facebook? Or just algorithmically-served content altogether? Am I crazy for preferring to build and do my best to expand my own silo rather than having billionaire-owned corporations do it for me?
