I just use the Refocus app (iOS) to black addictive apps except for a reasonable window each day. That way, I can access the apps when I really need to, but I can’t unconsciously end up spending 4 hours doomscrolling. It’s made a huge difference in my anger levels.

More like “Platforms that built their popularity largely on NSFW content suddenly abandoning those creators/users is a dick move.” Plus, all platforms should have nipple gender equity. (The ban on”female-presenting nipples” was instituted in the same rule change.) Because being a woman doesn’t make my nipples inherently pornographic.

No one’s coming onto Puritan sites and making them host porn. You are free to avoid all sex-related sites on the internet if you like, but most people would prefer not to.

Does this actually surprise anyone?

If an instance you’re in defederates, just start your own. Why complain about what people want to do in their instances? Just find another one.

Yes, that’s exactly how you sound.

I think I laughed so hard I damaged my spleen. Thank you.

People go where the people they care about are. Path dependency is king.

Ding! Online community infrastructure is like leftism. If you don’t do something about accessibility for the masses, all you’re left with is a sad circle-jerk.

Not everyone just accepts “how everything works”. If you don’t understand yet that not everyone here is a liberal capitalist (or a specter of a tankie), buckle up buttercup!

Practically speaking? Everything.
