While I agree that getting bullied in the news cycle is not healthy, I feel like getting the information about what's going on around you from memes is also not good. It lacks context and details to enable the user from processing the news with critical thinking. I don't know what the answer is, but for people who exercise their power of a vote, I feel like they need to be as knowledgeable about the issues as possible.

I dropped and deleted the account. Only time I go to Reddit now is if I am searching for something and a Reddit link is part of the search and happen to have the answer I need.

Gimp, OpenOffice.org, VLC, Slackware, and on and on after that. Every flavor of Linux: RedHat, SuSe, Ubuntu, now on Manjaro and Endeavour.

Gnome online accounts are also in Cinnamon if you like a more traditional desktop paradigm. Using it now on Manjaro. Works well.

Supposedly you will be able to use FB Lite app to chat. I got the same message, uninstalled Messenger Lite and verified that FB Lite app works for chatting.

I don't know if there's any gasoline car vs electric studies, but there's been some research into, for example, carbon footprint of oil drilling vs lithium mining. Here's one of the articles that has a bunch of sources sited:

FB only sparingly, just to keep in touch with friends. Instagram, very rarely these days. I don't think I've opened the app in the last 3 months. Threads, not planning on even trying it. WhatsApp every day.

Try using ITTT (If This Than That).

It worked as far as syncing the subscriptions. I was also hoping it would sync the profile settings like languages, display name etc. Which it didn't. Not a big deal though as I was mostly after the subscriptions.

That's true, but I wanted to avoid having to do all that work. :) Just being lazy.
