Archival is vital to society. Intentionally blocking archival should literally be illegal.

I feel like a healthy dose of skepticism is important lest we end up with only puff pieces. In fact, the Wright Brothers were dismissed for years: https://bigthink.com/the-past/wright-brothers-ignored/

Red reader is pretty good. There’s also patches in revanced to make rif work. But yeah, reddit is a shell of what it once was.

I’m quite anti-smoking and don’t like nicotine in general, but I don’t like this level prohibition of any substance.

It’s not dead, it’s run by Apache now. But LibreOffice is much more active and widely used.

Yeah it’s a blog platform that has a variety of functionality built in, including their big one: newsletter-style email subscriptions. Everything can be optionally paywalled by the blogger.

Let them fight.

Less clickbait and more reblogging, but yeah it’s not a good piece. It attempts to set a little context but overall fails miserably to explain the complexities around this and fails to evaluate how much credence should be given to the original poster.
