I’m pretty sure energy drinks might use synthetic taurine on a large scale, have we tried feeding cats Monster Energy? /s

Mozilla Corp’s Gecko Engine has allowed several non-corporate flavored browsers into existence, such as various forks on their github or Waterfox.

Then if you dont mind slow speeds you can try Tor Browser.

OMG we’re totally twinning

$300 for yours if you wanna help me complete my set?

Somebody wanna fill me in on the don’t kill games thing? I’ve heard it mentioned 3 times now over the course of a week or two so I figure maybe it’s something noteworthy.

Lemmy.world is currently the most popular large instance, Lemmy.today is another one. There are A LOT of instances to pick from if you’d rather connect to one closer to your region or attuned to your personal tastes, and they can all access posts from other instances so if you think an instance is run by people you can trust then feel free to make an account there.

To add onto Pug Jesus’ explanation, each instance is a self-hosted server separate from all the others. That means they can potentially be removed or re-added to the fediverse at any moment, they all follow their own rules so the only fediverse-wide restrictions are that the instance isn’t so insufferable that every other instance blocks them or defederates from them.

EDIT: A list of known servers HERE

Nuh uh, shows up fine for me

Instances to avoid if you dislike censorship or state run propoganda:

Lemmy ml

Slrpnk net

Hexbear

Lemmygrad

Beehaw (not state run, but very “family friendly” strictness)

P.S. I’ve tested like 58 wizard swears over on 196 bahaj and they only censor Faggot, which is on brand.

Also, a lot of nonstick pan coatings are incredibly shortlived and end up in your food if you continue to use a scrarched pan.

I am not 100% but I am like 98.9%

I want to apologize for my needless aggression earlier. I spent the morning arguing with CCP propogandists and its got me seeing red. (see what I did there?)

Yeah, blocked users cannot see or vote on your content.

I assure you that unstable people already stalk others and vote histories are already visible to those who try hard enough.

They can come at me, I downvote every single hexbear post in the feed regardless of content.

If I say some shit you disagree with then feel free to engage with me. I’m literally here for discussions. What are you here for?

You should not be ashamed of your vote history.

Why would this encourage harrassment? It would just expose harrassment.

There are bots that exist solely to downvote specific users and instances. If you and JacobRimJob downvote each other every time you see each other and eventually argue about it until it devolves into passionate lovemaking, tbats not what harrassment is.

It would also expose upvote bots promoting propoganda.

It’s instance specific, but you can see it all if you try hard enough.

On multiple occasions a moderator has reached out to me and informed me an account existed purely to go through my comments and downvote me. I assume this is a common occurance and we could combat it better if we could see the votes.

Oh, so you’re saying you fantasize about Xi because of the great policy of…

Not being somebody else in a different country on the opposite side of the earth?
