For me it’s definitely uBlock, tridactyl & tree style tabs

The “key facts” thing linked in the article is hilarious…

As of Thursday, June 15, more than 80% of our top 5,000 communities (by DAU) are open), and we expect this to continue. …

• r/nottheonion is asking users to vote, including a fun option that encourages people to take Tuesdays off

they voted to keep it closed.

Which makes this article even more interesting: they want to give users the possibility of voting mods out to put an end to the strike; and I genuinely hope that that backfires.

Especially because it’s unclear how they’d give users the ability to vote on that, without it ending in a shitshow, considering the size of the platform…

I AM missing out on bragging rights LMAO ^^

I think the best moment for me was probably

I used to distro hop A LOT, but by now I’m mostly on Arch [my laptop still runs Nix but I’m thinking of going back to Arch on that one too - Nix is nice but I feel like the difficulties for non-pre-packaged stuff aren’t worth it for me personally], just because it’s simple enough that I know where to look to fix things, plus the wiki is great.

If someone says “comms” I’m going to think “communications”

but I guess that also technically works ^^

Users can block those on desktop without issue. On mobile it’s a bit harder so most people I know don’t even if they use ublock or something on their PCs/laptops (though that is of course only anecdotal).

So if anything if that was the issue they should’ve shut off support for the desktop version LOL /s

Also my timing was so perfect that just as I tried to log in after getting the confirmation email, it went down. Needless to say I was kinda scared that I did something for a second before realizing that was rather unlikely

I’ve been looking at different Lemmy communities the second pushshift was down (and let’s just say finding things on Reddit suddenly became a lot harder because the built-in search function is kinda limited in a bunch of ways), and just made my account today out of random chance essentially LOL

Based on my experiences on Reddit, I’ve honestly found that voting is not just incredibly easy¹, but also something that at least I found myself engaging with when I didn’t want to write a comment myself LOL

¹ due to the very local results of votes in this kind of format, it doesn’t have the same feel as, say, a thumbs up on YouTube (and I very rarely engage with thumbs up etc as a result there), if that makes sense? Like, it’s limited to that particular level of the conversation
