Firefox is more private than chrome, chrome had more security updates, but Firefox is not far behind by any means.

well Firefox may enshittify, it's still the best option imo, certainly better than chrome or anything chrome based. even better if you use a privacy focused fork like librewolf.

there are other options out there, you can look into qt browsers, those were the basis for webkit browsers. hopefully soon things like servo/verso become more useable.

gnome user getting confused by customization, seems about right lol.

there was a new 196 created, however it states it will be deleted if the original is opened back up. the mods did open up the original 196, but people seem to want the mods replaced so the replacement 196 has not been deleted yet

196 mods were using lemmy.world accounts, not blahaj.zone accounts so due to issues with federation sometimes reports would not be dealt with for days, ada the instance admin would take care of some of these reports, however the 196 mods disagreed with some of the decisions she made. they decided to move the community to lemmy.world, by locking the original community and linking the new one, for various reasons people were upset. some people were defederated by default, some didnt want to go on lemmy.world servers or had their instanced blocked, and some many didnt like how the mods handled the situation in general during the whole ordeal.

this is a quote from ada

"I have asked 196 for years now to have an active blahaj.zone mod so that someone can deal with the blahaj.zone reports that constantly come through and build up, but still, the best we got were mods with alt accounts that get checked every couple of days, leaving me to deal with the build up of reports on 196. Sometimes they would hang around there for days while I waited for a 196 mod to log in and look at them. And because you don't like the way I deal with them, you drag me over the coals for my moderation style, despite no one from 196 stepping up to deal with those reports on a regular basis."

the issue is not ada banning users without telling mods, it was mods not doing their job and ada stepping in to take action when no one else would.

i read the post that was used as an example of adas supposed overreach, but that commenter was basically saying that cis people cant be allys because trans people arent nice enough to them, reeks of transphobia to me.

mods? theres only one, lets let ada organize an effort to find new mods instead, i feel like she will handle it with grace and elegance.

so the mods are going to unlock the community and pretend nothing happened?

why not open the original blahaj zone 196, and let ada appoint new mods? if yall want to move and have your heart set on that, thats fine, but its clear that there are many people who would lose access to their favorite community if the original 196 remains locked. having multiple instances of the same community is by no means a bad thing, it simply gives more reach for our communities, and more options for every user.

the whole point of the fediverse is that us users can make experiences we like for eachother. its very clear that many people like the way things are, yall dont have to, but we do. its a community because of everybody who participates, lets try and build communities where our queer and trans friends can feel safe and at home. nothing is lost if we have two communities, only gained. let the nature of the fediverse and federation decide how things play out, not a small group of moderators making unilateral decisions for everybody.

we figured out the rules a while ago, it's a racing game where each player has multiple pieces they need to move along the board, and can interact in the center where they can capture one another and make that piece restart. movement on the board is determined by rolling a special die. the game is known as the royal game of ur

it's a joy when I stick it in my mouth
