Throw away something I haven't touched in the past 2 years. It's helped me declutter my home.

And we would be deluding ourselves if we believed any assurances from Reddit given the track record of broken promises.

This is what bothers me the most about the mods and devs who are still bending over for spez. I'm glad the BotDefense devs have some dignity.

Exactly. On the very rare occasion I needed to hop on desktop, it felt like a totally different place. I didn't use Reddit. I used RiF.

I disagree. I was raised in a strongly Republican family. Fox News was perpetually on in my house, and Rush Limbaugh was a staple in the car. It took me until my 20s to start thinking for myself politically, and many years later, I now despise the Republican party and have gained the confidence to be outspoken about it. (I'm quite introverted, so that's kind of a big deal for me.)

For example, I grew up praying in Catholic churches for an end to abortion without really understanding its need as a medical procedure. It was only through education that I learned it isn't the horror show I had been told it is.

I'm just one person, but I know there must be more like me. People do change their views, and I hope more formerly brainwashed people like myself can be encouraged to change as well. There's still hope. Encourage people through education, not insults.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out.

I was having too many problems with Jerboa, so I installed Connect for Lemmy this morning and have been liking it so far. Might want to give it and others a test run to see what you like best.
