I left beehaw because I was being targeted by a user using gaslighting and lies.

When I responded to this user (I will admit, too strongly), the mods removed my comments, but left his initial lies and gaslighting up, even though I had reported them (and even messaged one of the admins directly – it was actually a beehaw admin’s actions against my comments.) To be clear, I understood the removal of my comments, but I did not understand why the user’s lies and rudeness against me still remained.

I mentioned tumblr because it was where the information I was sharing had initiated, and I encouraged people to take the discussion there, since a productive discussion was no longer possible here. I never said I was moving there myself.

I then removed the rest of my comments and posts on beehaw.

I was already on tumblr, so I didn’t “move from” Beehaw to there. I was also already on this account, so nor did I move here – I was already here all along, where I’ve had no similar problems.

I saw a BBC documentary about a similar situation. People are being exploited on both sides of the phone line.

I’d love something like this.

Not an ad, but pretty questionable for a YouTuber to put a plug for their sponsor as the frontmost text, when many of us use sponsorblock to actively avoid seeing such content.

At least it’s a good warning not to click that link.

They placed me in Portland based on the Smoking Popes, The Jesus Lizard, and Flipper

It said people in Portland tend to be fans of those bands

I’m gay, and I got Portland

I will admit that I used it for years for the rewards, and it worked well for me. Once I started using a VPN though, it decided I could only redeem my rewards in Canada (I live in the US). I could have probably fixed it, but it caused me to have one of those “what am I doing anyway” moments and switch to using a SearXNG instance instead.

Some speculate this is an intentional move by Google due to suspected loss of ad-revenue. We don’t know

Oh, we know. It may technically qualify as speculation, but we know.

I’m uncomfortable with Meta being involved

Even if they vetted their apps properly, I’d still not want to use it tbh. Microsoft is untrustworthy, even from a “massive corporation” perspective.

Tbf Microsoft wants you to rely on their store to install things. People just don’t trust it, for obvious reasons.

What? Do people say this? I’m new to Linux, and I’ve encountered nothing but helpful, patient people so far on the Linux Mint forums.

I’m working on that

Or just use Bulk Crap Uninstaller

Thanks!

Is this typical? I don’t often read the Verge unless someone links it, but even the first paragraph already made me cringe a bit when they talked about “deciding to buy a plane ticket” or whatever idk the exact words, I’m not going to read that again lol

While the author describes them as nice and sympathetic, literally every action described and every quote makes them seem like insufferable douchebags. Maybe the author…

Every single comment I’ve ever seen on that site without exception has been astonishingly mindless. It makes Facebook comments look like a lot of geniuses by comparison, and that’s not even getting into the frequent white nationalist content.

Even the comments I’ve seen on presumably more thoughtful channels like Audible Anarchist are colossally moronic.

But like you said there’s a lot of content on YouTube, so it’s possible that I’ve just had the misfortune of never seeing an insightful comment anywhere on YouTube since 2006.

I’ve never had a good experience commenting on YouTube. I’ve never once had an intelligent, thoughtful response to one of my comments. Being blocked from commenting on YouTube is a blessing. That’s why I use Piped.

Yeah, I know what you’re saying. I just didn’t want anyone who may be looking to get the idea they’re not there.
