Reddit is already blocking some Proton VPN IPs…

It was VPN issue for me. Some IPs in Proton VPN doesn’t work. When I tried a different IP or turned the IP off, I could access again.

Well, but most of the time I don’t care enough to go in.

The different servers, having to remember other people’s instances along with their username.

This is just like email, I see no problem here.

I think the problem is about the mindset and the onboarding experience. We’ve used too much proprietary products and prefer something easy and not too much diverge from the norms. Recently, I tried to advertise Mastodon and Lemmy to my non-techie friends, which are using X and Reddit. Some did try but gave up. They said they didn’t understand the concept, and didn’t want to bother with choosing an instance in the first place, because they didn’t understand the federation concept. It’s just hard to explain the benefits of the fediverse to non-techie people.

The type of people that the fediverse attracts are FOSS users.

I have the same observation as your view. Current fediverse communities are heavily towards tech. Some of my friends joined but gradually left because they had a few to no interactions or no interesting people in their interested areas to follow.

Unpopular opinion: just type “Massive Win”. What’s wrong with it?

Gitlab used to be cute, small, and innovative (as in open). But now it’s too bloated. Gitlab CI is not well designed and half-baked.

That’s interesting to know. Maybe that’s why add-ons don’t work in Firefox iOS or iPad OS.

Default Brave blocks ads more aggressively than default Firefox. Of course you can achieve that with Firefox + uBlock Origin, but add-ons are not available on iOS and iPad OS.

That’s just my experience. I still use Firefox + Firefox Focus BTW. To block more aggressively, I also use VPN + Adguard Home.

Use Vimium add-on and have a pop-up to search your open tab.

Or if you prefer no add-ons or don’t know how to use Vim keybindings then type your search query in the search bar like this:

% my tab title

Cool. Now I just needs a Japanese keyboard and I can finally ditch Gboard.

Ugh, my feed in Lemmy is full of this now. Is it feasible to “lower” the visibility of a keyword like “Musk” or “X”?

Not fully trust, but I trust it more than some listicles and low-quality SEO-boost sites.

When I want to learn something new, I often come to Wikipedia, or Britannica, or YouTube to get to know the subject. And generally, they will recommend me with some valuable reference to dig deeper.

Wikipedia is like our dear friend. It gives us general information, good advice, and direction in life, but never gets too deeply in it. The choice is ours to make.

So Reddit would go from a social open hub, the “front page of the Internet”, to a walled garden? Ridiculous.

Why is Google trying to follow the model of Spotify even though the model is not really successful? I hate when browsing my music in Spotify some podcast pops up. I just want to listen to my music, dammit!

May I ask why?

Personally, I find its UI/UX is annoying. The quality of the sound is awesome, though.

This, for example I love Proton Pass so far. I completely replaced my Bitwarden with Proton Pass. It (Proton Pass) has built-in 2FA authenticator, password generator, Firefox extension, and email generator to hide my email address.

Not happy with Proton Calendar (pretty basic) or Proton Drive (doesn’t support auto-sync, yet) but I’m patiently waiting for them.

+1 for Proton Mail. The other day I have switched to Proton (from another mail provider in Germany) and love it so far. I can even use a language to customise my filter [1], how cool that is!

Not in a million year that I will come back to Gmail.

Thanks for the cool option. But I just checked, and it seems like there’s no way I can set up a QuickConnect ID without a real Synology hardware. I’m a nomad so buying a physical Disk Station is not my preference.
