It’s okay. I still peruse reddit sometimes because the subs here aren’t sufficient enough. Also, reddit has more variety. Lemmy is a bit too political. Like /c/news seems to only post political stuff. And it’s mostly liberal leaning (which I am), but too liberal occasionally. People hate nazis here but curiously, they also hate Israel. I’m looking for more communities that are less intense and charged. Stuff about crafting, plant rearing, literature, etc. The other big fediverse site, Mastodon, has a similar prevalence of charged stuff, but I’ve found a bit more silly things both on my own and with suggestions over there. I suppose I could start some new communities here but I’m doubtful I have the fortitude to make them get increased traction.

Mckenzie needs to read that Reddit story about the bartender who kicked out a guy with the Third Reich eagle ensign on his shirt despite him quietly minding his own business. I really don’t want Substack to “suddenly become a Nazi bar.” I’m just a reader, but if I ever start a newsletter I may reconsider my platform. I am on a basic free plan for all Substack channels I read. I’ve thought about upgrading my subscription to some, but now I will hesitate.

I mean, it still is Twitter. That’s the URL that people use to access the site. Tbh I have no idea if Musk actually went through the effort of changing the company name in the business licensing or other company paperwork. Just the logo and header seem to say X. But I agree, I’m getting so annoyed with journalists calling it “the site formerly known as Twitter.” so dumb.

Yes, good idea. I have ReVanced on my mobile and a few extensions on my PC browser. I haven’t used YT on my PC in a while so I likely will need to add more to bypass this should I get it. I think I currently have Adblock Plus, Privacy Badger, YouTube Enhancer, Disable Javascript… Maybe more. I’m considering adding UBlock Origin since it seems to be a more robust ad blocker.

Could disabling Javascript get rid of this message? Javascript I think assists video playback, so maybe not.
