if you’re here to recommend ladybird, tell us why you’re doing advocacy for that trash fire in spite of the well-sourced, ah, downsides pointed out in article and video linked from the OP.

same for brave. I don’t give a fuck if privacyguides told you it was the goodest browser.

if you’re here to advocate for ladybird or brave and haven’t read the article in the OP, fuck off. don’t come here pretending to discuss something you haven’t read.

On the subject of Brave:

https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1j1pq7b/list_of_brave_browser_controversies/ it really has a little bit to many controversies. (And the list is downplaying some of it, the wikipedia clone added wasn't just some random one, it is was the one created by the alt right, neo-nazi Vox Day. Addition of which by the CEO should be enough to not want to use the browser at all).

And if you're here to report the mods for rudeness, lolz

important addendum: your reason for advocating for shit browsers owned by terrible people will be read out loud in the clown voice it deserves

Lemmy needs a feature where we can click a button on a comment and make everyone see that comment in Comic Sans.

so I’m not saying I’m writing this down for the Lemmy clone’s features list, but

Sorry (not sorry).

coming in rizz i'm sure

Careful, don't slander Comic Sans. It is an asshole, and has the party people on its side.

(I also think the font gets too much flak, perhaps to really show our distaste of the comment make it the fraktur font, and flip it around (I did recently learn that flipping a front upside down/around makes it very hard to read for people who have trouble visualizing things in their head, which I had not thought about as being an issue)

I did like the part where the orcs attacked the Kremlin, though
