Id take it a step farther and say that I wouldnt address the “socialistness” of an institution as a binary, but as a spectrum of characteristics (of which the PRC/CPC has many, but is lacking others)

I disable it wherever native dark mode is supported but damn if I’m gonna blast my eyes with a white background awhen I’m browsing after 10pm

If you want to see dark mode everywhere: DarkReader

Note that it will slow down page render times

“The wealthy understand that American ‘liberals’ and American ‘conservatives’ are fundamentally on the same side”

It’s not really that bad tbh

Valid criticisms tbh (I even could say the same as a day 0 account lol)

Moderation isn’t going to “improve” because they generally are fine with everyone being goofballs, so I wouldn’t expect that.

Some people have the cascade of shitposting and useless emojis coming with their crappy views, but I don’t think our instance is great at propaganda or ROE, which is unfortunate. Would love to see what we could do with a little discipline.

Also the emojis on every other instance and all mobile apps look more obnoxious because they don’t downscale to their intended resolution.

Chet Falizek, a dev who led L4D and a couple other games at valve talks about this a lot on TikTok, now that he’s running an indie studio. He’s a cool guy, would fit in on .ml or something for sure.

My opinion has always been that NSFW instances should be quarantined entirely to their own “porniverse” or whatever.

And yeah this type of content (underage or pseudo-underage) should be banned entirely in all cases imo.

No, also which instance is that hosted on? .ml?

It’s possible for them to tell the computer to shutdown when the battery is getting low

Me too

you can’t try before you buy.

Most mail order mattresses come with a generous trial period. Not ideal though

One guy was so paranoid that he had a camera in his yard (out in a well-off suburban neighborhood) pointing at a public path that strobed and vocally warned you that you were being recorded. Totally unhinged

No sure, I get where you’re coming from, but for the purposes of the other poster I think it was best to adjust my language.

At the time time, it’s also best for the purposes of the other poster to reply with your perspective as well haha

I guess instead of “war” I should have said “conflict” btw

The war did not start in 2022, your analysis of what has been happening before the invasion needs to go back before that.

We literally bring it up ourselves for no particular reason

That’s pretty much where we used to be on Reddit, like ~100k users, but top 20 most active or something like that lol

Reminds me of the book “Redshirts”

Stop by the news megathread sometime and see/ask for yourself. You probably won’t agree with a lot of stuff (and even that’s partly cause there’s layers of irony caked onto the walls), but it’s not quite as bad as you think.
