Absolutely agree with your approach. Also not being aware about news at all might make those in power get away with passing nocive legislation without much resistance from the population.

I think Kbin replies are broken because I had to go to your profile to see your reply to me.
Anyways, I don't think being reasonable up to date with whatever happens in your country or in the world means "worrying about things that will materialize decades from now or are going on thousands of miles away".
For example, not watching news at all (I usually never use the TV nowadays) might make me miss some bad legislation that was/will be passed. I might miss protests against such things. Or I might be more prone to believing fake news about a certain topic (war in Ukraine for example).
But I completely agree one should not be 24/7 worrying about news.

I’d argue that one should not stop reading the news forever because you’ll just become increasingly disconnected from what happens around you. As with all things, reading news in moderation and not doomscrolling is the way I think.

Straight up denying genocides or claiming absurd things is not “displaying different political opinions” thought.

Godspeed ernest. This project of yours was the best thing I encountered on the internet in the recent period <3

I’ll definitely be in the tiniest minority, but I use Edge on both my laptop and iPhone. Despite the general hate towards Microsoft I see online, their browser is really well made and so behaved better than Firefox or Chrome in the past ~3 years.

It's also harder to harmonize a thing such as EU with a lot more heterogenous states than the US. It's still better to move slowly than to not move at all.

No, being profitable isn't the problem. The problem is the expectation to be ever more profitable than the last time, and to be as profitable as possible in spite of everything such as a decent treatment of the user. I don't think the majority of people were against reddit being profitable, but the way they chose to do and communicate so is what made people despise them.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I clicked on something from beehaw and it had the @beehaw ending.

I didn't set anything to be able to see it, rather I noticed on the right part of the screen in the "related magazines" something from beehaw. The content searching UI still needs improvements thought.

How to contribute to translations? I could help out for Romanian if needed.
