Why not Firefox + ublock-origin on mobile?

Most of those issues apply to any meat, and honestly even to vegetables.

I would argue that instances with a large amount of illegal content would be a good case for defederation as well, but I don't know where the line is. Like I don't want us to block piracy communities, but if an instance has CP or something it should be blocked. So the line is somewhere between the two.

The MBTA is a public agency that is funded by both fares and tax dollars. So you shouldn't be worried about the business, but the citizens of Boston.

It makes sense that general purpose instances would have the most users. I'm not a programmer so while I could still register there why would I pick programmer.dev?

The bigger issue I had in picking an instance was just in understanding the differences. I think it would help if instances advertised their stance on defederation, moderation, etc... to help people make a decision (or even to see that lemmy.world may be more similar to some other instances than they might think).

Inoreader is decent. I just don't like how many features are locked behind a subscription. And some don't make sense - downloading articles to your own device requires a subscription. I'm totally fine with features that actually put load on their server requiring a subscription, but downloading an article vs reading it live certainly does not.

Ha, touché. But the difference is that Reddit was already monetized via ads, while Lemmy is not.

Honestly with things like Heroic it's unlikely that you really need to "tinker" much regardless.

Not at all. Being open source allows the community of users and other developers to suggest improvements to the code base.

And you can still sell an app that is open source.

Hi everyone, I'm raptir, esq.

Sue me.

Well that's a shame. I guess living in a car-centric region it's easy for me to just throw them in the trunk so I always have them, but I could imagine if I was taking public transit more often it would be easier to forget them.
