Gen X is most of the fediverse!

What about apps that are already installed? Are they going to be blocked from running a soon as I upgrade?

My launcher is from F-Droid.

I get notifications in Tusky, but not Moshidon. Lately, I’ve switched to using Elk as a PWA and I love it.

I’d prefer the option to just automatically add alt text. The only AI feature I would actually find useful.

I agree. You don’t have to convince me. I’ve been on mastodon for almost 8 years and it gets better every day.

I’m easily out if they screw it up, I’m in the fediverse at least as much as there. So far, I’m OK with them and I want to see what happens with this protocol. Mastodon needs some work too.

I guess I don’t care that much at this point but I’m out as soon as I see the first ad.

They banned journalists? Who?

And I didn’t know about the redirects and tracking either. They are doing that without ads?

They may fail but we better not be bailing them out!

That’s all the talk so far? It feels like a bad sign to me when power starts moving from the true believers to the VCs.

Unfortunately, style in the GUI means a lot these days. If you don’t match what MacOS and Windows are doing, your software will look old and unappealing.

Changing Firefox is risky because you can lose current users, but necessary if you want new people.

I’ve never seen that. How much memory do you have?

I really don’t remember the last time Firefox crashed on me and I’ve been using it for many years

Just use an ad blocking DNS. It might not block every other domain from connecting but it blocks most of what you want to block.

Try Phoenix for Firefox https://github.com/celenityy/Phoenix

There is something to be said for making modifications instead of forks so you are never waiting for an update.

Here’s my 2 cents: https://github.com/celenityy/Phoenix

No. Wife and kids only use the Big tech apps. I think ads and tracking don’t bother them as much as they do me.

New ubo feature: if page does not grant permission to block ads then entire page is blocked.

When I come across a paywall that is not circumvented by simple script blocking I don’t even bother to try anymore and I remove these suggestions from my feed.
