I don't recall asking you for help. Thanks, though. :)

If I go with an instance that is militant about not defederating, I have to put up with the right wing nut jobs. But if I choose an instance that does defederate, I can't talk about the topics I come here to discuss. There's no winning move here, for me. :(

I was sucked in by the promise of an open platform, but it's just more of the same under different masters. And at least there I'm not banned from discussing the topics I wish to discuss. Got a better option? I'd love to hear it. Tildes wants nothing to do with drugs.

What are your thoughts on communities about drugs? Pretty big topic for me, although the drug subs mostly haven't moved here yet, is that because you ban them? If so, I'm wasting my time waiting for them here.

I don't see the problem. They obviously would hire more people to do double the episode load.

I'd say I was happy, too, if I thought they might hang me or cane me if I didn't. Happy as hell, sir!

Is that why I got cloudflare banned last night? All I did was click my Local Top Day bookmark.

Would not be opposed to a new community that focuses on the business side of tech companies!

Like it or not, it's tech news. When Intel does something interesting, or Google wets the bed again, we'll talk about that a lot, then. Right now it's Elon doing dumb stuff. Last month it was spez. If we ban every hot news topic, what's left to discuss?

Threatens, as in, hasn't happened and may not. Not all threats are true.

idk how well stuff works on Chrome Mobile. I use a different Chrome-based mobile browser that does allow extensions, and Ublock Origin works great on it. Turns out there's more than one way to skin a cat. Who knew?

I'm well read on Manifest v3. I'm also aware of a Ublock Origin version that is designed to work under it. I have it installed and ready to go, for if and when the old one stops working. But that has only been threatened, too, and not even by Google.

I'm not certain it is just an assumption, but I am also not certain it is a prophecy. Until I get more certain, I'm not going to bust my hump worrying about it. And I'm certainly not going to bellow to the hillsides that we're all doomed.

They already do that from my Android phone, and I'm sure as hell not going Apple. Linux phones aren't there yet, maybe in a few years, but I'll still need an Android phone for the same reasons I'd need a Chromebok, bank apps will never support Linux phones. And yeah, like everybody said, VLANs. I already have one for untrusted IoT devices, I'll just spin up another for Chromebooks.
