Trump doing tons of shit was the first thing I saw. The "Migrants weep in Mexico as Trump admin cancels all appointments for Biden's CBP One app immediately after swearing in" one in particular though, they're not even pretending to not be horrible people anymore.
Gab is largely similar right now but in Twitter format instead, and people posting super Christiany stuff also. Apparently their founder was one of the people resharing the Elon salute, while r/Conservative likes to pretend they aren't Nazis while still being Nazis
People who deliberately ignore struggles that others outside their immediate community experience, especially ones that they cause themselves, don't deserve to be listened to
I'm looking at r/Conservative, Gab, and other far-right outlets to see what is happening with the incoming administration, and all I can say is what the actual fuck
I'm not sure, that's the one reason I use Instagram also. You could use something like MyInsta, which blocks ads and I think lets you disable shit like Reels. You could also try using an RSS feed with proxygram, although I've found the public instances to be unreliable and I'm not sure if it still works. Otherwise, you're going to need to somehow convince them to use a certain Mastodon instance instead (offering to host one for your local area might make people more interested, but even then good luck with that).
The Cromite devs said they use ABP instead of uBO because it's in C++ instead of JavaScript so they can easily implement it, it also has patches to remove some of the weirder stuff
I don't think it's a big concern, if a big instance does something stupid people will just move to a different one, and people will also naturally move to instances with communities and moderation policies they prefer over time which will help spread things out
We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!
I can't decide whether this is hilarious or terrifying
My guess is that it's a neo-Nazi thing, so his promoting right-wing American politics (his largest userbase) is probably intentional and not just him being stupid
"Communities" would work well because most people understand that it describes a group of people with similar interests which is basically what Lemmy instances are (whereas "instance" sounds borderline meaningless to most people as if you're trying to push them onto a tech project they don't understand). The Lemmy "c/" could be called "subcommunities" or "sublemmies" or something like that which would help people who are familiar with Reddit understand what they are as well.
Considering how he runs a business whose goal is to capture the privacy crowd and how a large portion of the privacy crowd is made up of those "Libertarian" tech-bro types, it might be more than just "no clue about American politics", especially since he's also doing stuff like promoting Bitcoin through Proton Wallet which is also popular among "Libertarian" tech-bro types, and the article used for marketing that both-sidesed the problems the "left" vs "right" experience and equated the Democrats with the "left", which is popular among "Libertarian" tech-bro types as well. The 88 in his Reddit username is also suspect regardless of him claiming that it's there because it's his birth year. People who know how to operate a business usually aren't doing it out of stupidity, so I'm not going to give him the benefit of the doubt on this, especially since the entire platform depends on trusting that they aren't doing anything shady.
Asahi Linux doesn't support encryption and getting it to work requires a lot of steps and that I reinstall it which I don't have time for, so I don't have it enabled on my laptop, and if it gets stolen or confiscated I'm fucked.
And it will be running on Deepin also
