An incomplete list of reasons I block accounts:

  • Ranting about journalism rather than discussing the actual news.
  • Whining about paywalls rather than just circumventing them yourself. It's 2024 you should know how to use an archival site by now. Don't expect everyone to everything for you.

  • Apparently so! Although, a reasonable person would have to conclude that their relative's feelings about their use of ableist slurs is not an actual consideration. Assuming they aren't just lying of course. Nobody lies on the internet to win an argument. Especially not people who freely choose to die on the hill of "I'm allowed to use slurs."

  • Well that makes sense, after all, Nazi bars do tend to be hostile to members of any minority group and Twitter is the biggest Nazi bar on the internet.

  • He's never going to be President but Pudding Fingers is doing everything he can to destroy the planet all the same.

  • Yeah I can get a better burger/fry combo from a local restaurant that uses high quality ingredients and cares about having my business. There’s no reason to pay the same for low quality junk from a fast food chain.

  • Yeah I can get a better burger & fry lunch from a local place that uses better ingredients and actually values my business. There’s no reason for me to pay the same price for low quality junk and worse service from shitty fast food chains.

  • Bigfoot, Mothman and the Responsible Gun Owner are my favorite mythological creatures of American folklore.

  • Yeah I wanted to love mlmym but it's just too buggy and laggy for me. Hopefully lemmy-ui-next will prove to be a good replacement. If anyone's curious, that UI can previewed at: next.lemm.ee

  • I use Alexandrite on desktop but I'm excited about Lemmy-UI-Next which (IIRC) is being developed by one of admins of lemm.ee. It looks very promising.

    For mobile I'm using Voyager (this account is actually on the instance for supporters.) I've tried everything available for iOS but Voyager is my daily driver, nothing else comes close to ticking as many boxes as Voyager does for me. I have Apollo sideloaded on my phone and it's incredible how much progress Voyager has made toward replicating the experience which is exactly what I want in a mobile app for Lemmy. The only thing it's missing is my favorite Apollo theme (Outrun).

  • Yeah, it's messed up that nearly everyone from the US would read that headline and make the same assumption without batting an eye because we've been conditioned to expect nothing else from police. It sure would be nice if we lived in a country where policing was actually a civil service and not a damn street gang.

  • Republicans are now the pro-dog killing party lol. If there's one thing you can depend on Republicans to do, it's make the dumbest choice imaginable in any given situation.

  • The B.A.R.R.Y.M.O.R.E. System

  • "People always say dogs are man's best friend but I've never seen a cat working for the cops."

  • Damn, that's a lot of tabs.
