For me it's definitely uBlock, tridactyl & tree style tabs

The "key facts" thing linked in the article is hilarious...
As of Thursday, June 15, more than 80% of our top 5,000 communities (by DAU) are open), and we expect this to continue. ...
- r/nottheonion is asking users to vote, including a fun option that encourages people to take Tuesdays off
they voted to keep it closed.
Which makes this article even more interesting: they want to give users the possibility of voting mods out to put an end to the strike; and I genuinely hope that that backfires.
Especially because it's unclear how they'd give users the ability to vote on that, without it ending in a shitshow, considering the size of the platform....
I AM missing out on bragging rights LMAO ^^

I tried A LOT even with the tips you can find online to land there with the ship, haven't been able to though :(

via the teleporter on the twin. I KNEW that that one was important, but couldn't figure out how to get there, and after too much time I just looked up what to do online - that's the only puzzle I had to do that for though, luckily
I think the best moment for me was probably

The sun station. After way too much time figuring out how to get there, the music, and the story stuff to read there? Such a good moment.
Provided that person is aware of Lemmy, that is
Sorry that that wasn't obvious, but the desktop bit was mostly a joke!
But yeah; on desktop extra applications you have to download are definitely a hard sell.
I would assume a good amount of the reason has less to do with tracking [though I'm not denying it's a factor], and more with other stuff such as it being an icon on your phone etc, apps just have a different "feel" than websites ultimately imho
I don't really agree on the whole tbh. Specifically, the one thing that's still keeping my Reddit account alive is that there's a bunch of communities that don't exist on any other platform because they'd need enough of a "critical mass" of users for it to make sense; and they're too niche otherwise.
A huge influx of users certainly comes with.... Challenges, I do not deny that. But I'd also love to not have to use Reddit anymore solely because of its active user count. And new Lemmy users are unlikely to come from Twitter or something; as it's a different kind of format.
Also, I think the sentiment of "the Lemmy community rn is also formed of at least mildly tech-savvy people [...]" is kind of exclusionary for no real reason, I don't think you have to be tech-savvy to have a good perspective on things, make a good joke or all in all be a positive person to interact with.
I used to distro hop A LOT, but by now I'm mostly on Arch [my laptop still runs Nix but I'm thinking of going back to Arch on that one too - Nix is nice but I feel like the difficulties for non-pre-packaged stuff aren't worth it for me personally], just because it's simple enough that I know where to look to fix things, plus the wiki is great.

Honestly I am surprised.
I didn't expect much, but I expected more than this quite frankly.
