  • If you have a local library, please use that as well. Especially if they have a digital library catalog.

  • I was disappointed it wasn't on iOS, but once I saw that privacy policy I was kinda glad. Good on the dev for making a living, but jeeeeez

  • The shift from "You have nothing to hide if you aren't doing anything illegal" to "It is illegal to criticize us. We will keep an eye on you to make sure you don't." can happen a lot faster than people want to realize.

  • There's quite a lot, you can check out join-lemmy.org for a solid list. Mine is open as well, but reading/writing isn't everyones thing

  • Lemm.ee’s host is such a nice dude, I don’t think he’d sell people out either.

  • Your instance is defederated from the major porn instance iirc

  • Reading, knitting, crochet. Also journaling! I like gaming sometimes too.

  • I think it's important to make note of the fact that they were banned on Reddit for good reason. As a community, they have always been toxic and would consistently brigade and harass other communities on Reddit that even remotely disagreed with them on anything. There was a consistent issue in Jewish focused Reddit subs with users of theirs starting fights about Zionism on random Jewish posts and generally harassing to random people that would be remotely critical of communism. They would behave in a similar way to how exploding-heads did prior to being mass defederated, specifically going into threads and brigading/downvoting and attempting to sway discussions in their favor in bad faith.

  • Currently, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents for my audiobook and for my physical book its The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida. Both are excellent.

  • You wouldn’t last a day around gen Zers with that attitude bud.

  • Shameless displays of excess wealth is increasingly being met with more and more cultural hostility, especially amongst younger people. Gen Zers are highly likely to view people who flaunt their wealth or indulge heavily in luxury goods as being tacky or just generally negatively. The hostility as the climate crisis increases will only increase as well.

  • The empty desks of elon musks fired PR reps

  • The previous instance that hosted it died due to absurd domain issues

  • I loved that community! Glad to see it's back :)
