I think it's good to maximize federation between instances that engage in civil, unbiggoted discussion. If you read the Fediseer censure logs, there's clear, documented reasons for defederating from the instances it lists.

In the case of hexbear and lemmygrad, brigading and extremist views would dissuade most redditors from staying.

No worries, and thanks for implementing my suggestions! Already have additional ideas for improvements that I'm keeping track of in my Notes folder, but I'll wait a few days before posting them to let other people share their ideas first 👍

After copying and overwriting an unsent comment I had made elsewhere earlier, I initially installed a clipboard shortcut to avoid it happening again, but then found Arctic's draft-saving clipboard feature after tapping the clipboard icon above. So many great features!

Somehow it's not shitty enough for them yet 🤔

When subscribing to a service means supporting a company that would arbitrate your wrongful death at their hands, or tailor its products to be more appealing to bigots and racists, the only ethical course of action is piracy.

While an overload of mindless far-right, conservative, bigoted, and transphobic videos on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, and similar posts on Facebook and Twitter, undoubtedly played a large part in indoctrinating so many people (as has been the case in countries such as Hungary and Turkey), it's still crazy that so many people were suckered in by Trump's lies about reducing inflation, when his first term in office proved how shitty he was, as well as the reason why Roe vs. Wade was overturned. It shouldn't have taken countless constitutional violations in only the first month of a second term as president for people to realize that.

If corporate oligarchs haven't fully dismantled what remains of the country's severely flawed democracy in four years' time, then there's every chance that they'll buy the presidency again in 2028, apathetic to the rise of fascism and the dismantlement of civil rights.

Should've checked the configuration options more thoroughly first; thanks again for the help!

Something that only it seems to have, versus the others I compared it to, is a "headline" view for the feed. It's essentially an extra compact version of the compact view, putting the post's community name in line with the upvote, downvote, comment counts and post age. Only saves a bit of space compared to the comparison I made a few minutes ago in trying Thunder's compact view, but most of all it makes the feed less cluttered, in my opinion.

Arctic on iOS; prefer it to Voyager, Mlem, and Thunder due to having more customization options.

That's like arresting a criminal for doing something right.

Social issues aside, diversity is profitable, as it minimizes missing business opportunities due to groupthink. Therefore, even for terrible companies like Comcast, it would be financially irresponsible to not implement DEI programs.

Deleted Apple Maps in favor of Organic Maps at the suggestion of another Lemmy user yesterday. Although it lacks live traffic data, given the lack of centralized userbase location tracking, and scrolling on the map could be a bit smoother at times, I'd rather use it than a platform willing to implement fascist place names.

I'm hoping that toll road avoidance also works better with Organic Maps, since Apple Maps oddly seems unable to give non-toll directions if you accidentally get on a toll road and exit to return to a non-toll routing.

Ending the war in Ukraine involves Russia pulling its armed forces back to within its own borders, returning kidnapped Ukrainian citizens, and relocating Russian settlers who moved to occupied Ukrainian territory since 2014.

Releasing Americans dumb enough to travel to Russia is good, but it doesn't achieve anything for Ukraine, rather just makes drooling MAGAts think Putin is someone who can be reasoned with...
