There really wasn’t as much stigma on it as now (And I’d argue it could use a little more stigma still).

Any criticism of Israel is met with cries of "antisemitism!" so I think we have enough stigma.

Eh, I like the Mazda. It basically looks like what I would have pictured as a "futuristic Miata" a few years back. I will say I'm more interested because of its power train though.

But when I say "more interested" I just mean it's cool. I'm 6'6, no chance I would fit in it.

By a strict definition, the kernel is what defines Linux.

Xfce does not get updated often, so by that definition it is the most stable.

It's also pretty stable from the perspective of not crashing, but I can't say I've had much trouble with KDE either.

I mean it's still Google.

Yeah I use SmartTube on my TV and piped on my phone but I still count that as "using YouTube."

Several things from Google.

• Google Maps - none of the OSM-bases options are there yet. I need traffic conditions and good Android Auto support. At the same time I hate that Google Maps is so full of ads. When I search for "breakfast" and the top result is a sponsored result for Dunkin and the closest is 50 miles away...
• YouTube - the content is there so it's hard to go to an alternative.
• Google Photos - my issue with this is really more tied to Gmail. If I stop paying for more Drive storage for my photos, I will stop receiving email because my account is full. But I did switch away from Gmail at least.

with an overall average score of 66. It's ranked in the bottom 30% of games

That doesn't sit right with me.

Did you get migrated? They started with a limited test that included outreach before migration and cancelled the plan to expand it after everyone was furious.

They were telling them, and giving them the opportunity to opt out (after dealing with a sales pitch).

Still crappy, but exaggerating doesn't help anything.

I mean to be fair the plan I would have been migrated to does include more, like Netflix. I just don't want those extras and it wouldn't be worth it regardless.

It's a tough distinction to make though. I would say let's label it as objectionable content, maybe even ban it from being "promoted" (which honestly I hate that bands can pay to be forced on my home screen anyway) and call it a day.

I don't think there's auto sort but you can manually rearrange them.

No, there's no tab grouping on Firefox for Android. I have not found an extension that works for mobile for that functionality either.

I live in the US and I've never met someone who isn't able to understand it. They might need to convert it in their heads to compare it with other times.

Thirsty works here. It means you really want it, not that anyone really wants you.

I listen to a lot of death metal including brutal death metal that has lyrics that many would find objectionable. I guess the key difference is that death metal is not expressing the views of the artist. Still, there are plenty of artists with objectionable views whose songs are not deplatformed.

In the web interface the OP's links take me to the communities as seen from their local instance while the bot's takes me to the community as seen from my instance.

That wouldn't prevent them from seeing content though - the defederation part is the important part.

I agree that quality matters, but when we have a number of active communities where the content is supplied by bots I don't know that I'd say we're winning on quality.

More users means more people contributing instead of bots.
