Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but Marginalia (https://search.marginalia.nu/) focuses on non-commercial and text-based content.

I'm not aware of any functionality which allows to block messages from unknown users. I think blocking them might be your only option right now.

Easier said than done (and already too late for you), I know, but: in general, be careful where you leave your number...

Thanks for not only posting your issue, but also updating with newly discovered information. I wasn't aware that uBlock can prevent caching.

Slick! My feedback:

• Consider respecting the user agents color scheme preference (I like to have light mode on day and dark mode on night — don't overwrite that without my permission if you already have both themes).
• Contrast is too low in the dark theme and way too low (basicly unusable) in the light theme.
• Consider increasing font size, esp. for code blocks
• For me it's wierd that posts are kinda centered but not really. Since most (not all) languages are left to right, I'm used to start looking on the left side, not the right. Consider centering the post properly.
• Consider making the hover animations faster.
• In dark mode, the icon button hover text is black on dark gray and therefore basicly unreadable.

What is this dot between the three-dot menu button and the time stamp?

Personally, I don't really like that the post is displayed transparently over the post list. This makes it a lot harder for me to focus on the content. Maybe I'm not the target group for a design like this.

And for 80$/month you can get 25Gbps!

It did take forever when I tried the last time. Literally hours.

social.digitalcourage.de and mastodon.green both are Mastodon server with a (paid) membership model.

Just installed NixOS with Wayland and Gnome the other day on my laptop with Nvidia card. I had to tune the config a bit, but it works flawless now -- notably also with the offload command. That's fine for me though because it saves considerable energy if the GPU only runs on request.

Apostrophe. The perfect, slick markdown editor.

You can go to settings > customize and turn off pull to refresh if you want.

Works now.

uBlock Origin would be my number one, but they don't take donations. So my list would roughly contain:

• Organic Maps
• Thunderbird
• Internet Archive
• Codeberg

I'd like to donate to Firefox as well, but Mozilla spends too much for the wrong things and AFAIK it's not possible to only support Firefox development.

Mojeek has it's own index. DuckDuckGo, Qwant and Brave have a partial index mixed with meta search results.

Hm. Some fantasy stories / books I really enjoyed and recommend are:

Eragon by Christopher Paolini. Just awesome. The pacing is gentle but a lot higher compared to The Hobbit or The Lord Of The Rings. One of the best fantasy stories I know, I read all the books multiple times. Warning: Don't watch the movie. Just don't.

The Idhún's Memories by Laura Gallego. I've read them a long time ago, so I don't know if I'd still enjoy them that much, but I've great memories.

I didn't read The Name Of The Wind yet, but it was recommended to me multiple times as THE best book.

If you don't mind science-fiction, I also would recommend Children Of Time by Adrian Tchaikovski.

Side note: Fantasy is quite a heavy genre if you're not really into reading yet. Often the good books are large, which makes it harder to finish in a reasonable time. General tipp: try to read one hour a day. This creates a habit and you will soon read a lot faster, which makes it a lot easier to just grind through a book as if it was nothing. Also try different genres, maybe one doesn't sound appealing, but you would enjoy it anyway.
