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

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.

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

You’re lucky you can downvote it lol

Although I’m hoping to find a lobster taking the bait when I scroll downthread in a moment here so it might be good for comedy at least

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.

I’m more annoyed with the people who reply to this low-effort garbage

Thomas Sankara is a leader that many on the left look up to for being non-corrupt. There very wellay be something I’m not aware of, though.

I don’t think Lenin was ever considered “corrupt”, even if one doesn’t agree with his political decisions.

I think they said that they specifically don’t want to tank the local economy, just the tourism sector.

A large tourism sector can be a detriment to a smaller city or town if the local people don’t have enough control or investment in the sector themselves.

It’s definitely good to organize, but if they are in the US, building publicly housing (an obvious solution) is illegal, so things aren’t straightforward even if you obtain some power.

We are talking local level. It’s actually possible to get things done, especially if you lay the groundwork and get some help. It doesn’t need to be OP getting in the door, just start small and eventually their org can get someone to step up and take a position of power.

It’s only smuglord-worthy if we are at the federal level imo

It’s just a messenger app. Whatsapp is probably used by more criminals on the whole, but there’s no reason for that to make the news

This is not correct, I encourage you to do some more reading about how coats are made if you’d like to understand this better.
