I just can't wait for full instance blocking. I haven't seen them offer anything but vitriol, just horribly toxic, seems like an instance of trolls. I block their communities when they pop up. I don't really want to advocate for defederating but I'll definitely be blocking their instance personally.

Hexbear users have been some of the most toxic I've come across

UH OHHHHH, better hand in your hexbear membership, you don't fit in, you dirty racist

Lmfao I'm in the same boat. It's exhausting.

Lotta radical communities here who like to brigade posts on other, completely unrelated communities. Conversations were calmer with fewer slurs being thrown around a couple months ago.

Boy I can't wait for instance blocking

That's still the prevailing opinion in this thread lol.

Dudes the fuckin antichrist

A lot of you need your blood pressure checked

As far as uni workflow goes, I don't know what you do, but LibreOffice worked just fine for me in college for papers and such. Sheets is definitely inferior to excel if you're doing serious spreadsheet work, but Writer works perfectly fine as a Word clone for simple word processing. My professors never commented on it.

I don't think demonizing the Russian populace is really achieving anything, people aren't their government. The US has done some abhorrent things, and I'm not an evil person, nor am I just fine with killing anyone.

Nah that's okay, I much prefer it with the barriers to entry. Making it bang simple for all the normies is how this shit gets locked down and much more difficult for the rest of us.

I'm fine with bots reposting images. Memes and whatever. Because the discussion is pretty irrelevant. What I've been seeing a lot of is bots reposting text posts. Like r/amitheasshole and the like. It pisses me off. Doesn't make any goddamn sense, the OP isn't here, you can't discuss with them. And they always lack any conversation on here. It's just spam and I report it as such.

Beehaw defederated everyone lmao

I don't think that's at all a good idea lmao

I got a thermacell recently and I've been raving about it. Doesn't seem like it'd work but it works quite well.

I even had the tech try to install their own router after I'd told them I'd be using my own hardware, and then he ARGUED with me that theirs was better and faster. Didn't ask for your opinion, install the service the way I asked, I know what I'm talking about in this space.

I don't think so. I honestly think we grew up in a time that encouraged learning how these things work. Anecdotally, younger people don't seem as interested, because everything's always "just worked" for them; they were raised on iPads. I already see them struggling with technology similarly to boomers when it isn't immediately obvious how to do something.

I don't think this comment really deserved this discourse, it seems pretty clearly tongue in cheek to me.

Not everything needs to be so dire.

They hail from the instance of the sensitive and easily triggered
