I honestly don't think there's much of a difference between these groups. Both have lots of people hating the guts of another group. And both are substantially radical in views. This all is just crazy

Don't care about this whole drama that someone is trying to start. At the end of the day Gnome is just the most comfortable DE for me personally. Plain, simple, beautiful, no cascading dropdowns, no distractions. Customizable just enough. The next option would be XFCE, mainly for a great balance between performance and niceness

Holy crap. The only thing I wanted from this update is better optimization, and they instead are warning that things will get worse

Talk to yourself. You can even do that in foreign language if you're learning it - it helps.

I use Brave as a second browser (mainly to separate different activities) and did not have any issues with it apart from dragging tabs between monitors (it creates an additional empty tab sometimes when doing this). Turned off all unnecessary stuff right when I first launched it and that's it. No bloat, no issues, just works. Didn't know about this CEO controversy but seeing as it was a long time ago, don't think it's a valid reason to not use Brave. And both logo and name are cool.
It's a solid option which we don't really have a lot of in open source space

It's unimaginably stupid and sad. Those people will face the consequences of human-induced climate change. But you know what? They then will blame someone else for it - secret government experiments, reptiloids, migrants, you name it

Honestly, it does not look like Facebook did something wrong when you read the article. A pregnant woman used a medicine to trigger a miscarriage, then she and her mother got rid of the body. Police knew that they've discussed this in Facebook messenger. They contacted Facebook and received chat messages. Then police used those messages to incriminate women according to existing law. The only problem here is that a woman could go to an abortion clinic and do it properly and legally if not for obnoxious laws in some states. But that's a completely different issue

You know they'll go away if you switch to Linux, right?

Stick man with black lines and white filling on a nondescript background. Building is grey. I am tired

It simply is incomprehensible to me how this can even be a controversial or debatable topic. I don't know if you're trolling or what, but racism is racism. And yes, historically oppressed groups are perfectly capable of being racists. So not to be racists ourselves we should apply equal standards to all groups.

How could someone force mods to reopen? Blackmailing? Or they just really don't want to lose control over subreddit (and possibly see it "shittified")?
I also wanted to write just how stupid it sounds and that things like that were impossible on the forums of ye olde internet - but actually they weren't, admins could do anything if they wanted, lol

I honestly think that we should have major instances federated to everyone and instead of complete defederation, provide users with options to block (basically hide) content from certain instances and users from your feed. It would also be crucial to have a separate tab then for all (unfiltered) content. The thing is, one of the main problems with traditional socials is that it is so easy to create a bubble around you and not see anything outside of it. While it's OK to have personalized feed, it's also important to be able to see everything the way it is - even with marxists, stalinists, fascists and so on. Maybe having some arguments with them here and there would be good too.
The other viable option is to just leave everything as it is, and retreat to viewing only subscribed content when you feel like it
