  • Kudos to them for rolling out support more widely, but it’s a bit misleading as Firefox nightly/Fennec has supported extensions for years (albeit via a cumbersome process), and Kiwi Browser is also a thing.

    I can’t understand how folks out there are just rawdogging the Internet out there without ublock or at least a DNS ad filter. Admittedly, Chrome runs a hair more smoothly, but the ability to use extensions like uBlock / DarkReader / Consent-O-Matic make the Firefox experience a tier above.

    I just hope this makes it possible to install the Bypass Paywalls extension again so I don’t have to hop over to Kiwi for that.


  • It was a community built by a former Reddit backend developer, Deimos. He also built the subredditsimulator subs and automoderator, and is looking to purposefully cultivate an online community that avoids some of the common pitfalls, mainly:

    • Gravitating over time towards low-effort, lowest common denominator clickbait.
    • A culture of lawful-evil trolls who “follow the rules” but are ultimately assholes who ruin the vibe.

    Personally I love what he’s done with the place. It’s small, but it’s big enough and I find that the quality of comments is far better than what you might find in most corners of the internet. I’ve also got a few invites if anyone wants to check it out.

    Also the Tildes app is astoundingly good for what the developer is calling an “alpha”.
