Same. @squizzy, I don't like microblogging in general either. I was raised in the golden era of forums (the days of phpBB and vBulletin). My twitter account hasn't been touched for years now.
tweXit does have a nice ring to it. Made me laugh 😂
Was tinkering with userchrome and sidebery this day and it got me thinking how others has their firefox customized. Let's bring the fun back to firefox. Share your screenshots. :)
As an iOS user and long time Firefox user (never switched to chrome in my life) I feel jealous. But one can only hope that we too in the APPLE walled garden won't be left behind. Though I understand that it would be a long shot. :(

Their question seems to be being able to socialize. Hence, the suggestions. So apologies for any misunderstanding.
That said, if the issue, is peer pressure, then my suggestion in choosing and limiting social circles still stands.
If none of their friends drink or smoke, they won’t have to worry about accidental peer pressure.
I don’t know where you are in the world but you certainly don’t need cigarettes or alcohol to have fun. Find friends who enjoy going to the coffee shops, food trips and if time allows, nature (as in hiking or resorts). In my experience, the first two don’t allow alcohol and cigarettes so you’re most likely be able to find people who don’t smoke and drink.
Also, find more health conscious people. They typically don’t drink and smoke as well. Depending on where you are, activities that takes place in doors and around families also don’t allow those substances. So inviting friends to something like a bowling or cinema works.
You just got to research the hang out spots for health minded people ans/or family friendly ones.
Don’t go to bars. Those are definitely a space where alcoholics gather.
I never drank and smoked in my life (nearing 30s now), and I can relate how hard it is to avoid gatherings that doesn’t outright requires alcohol and smokes.
You just got to be more diligent with picking your social circles. My friends are smaller, but at least I know they won’t pressure me to drink and smoke.
Some more ideas: Libraries, book clubs, alcohol-fre bars, gaming, art clubs, etc. find ones that align with your hobbies :)
Any browser really. I missed the browser wars of old where everyone is free to use and defend their browsers.
True, but with the war on Ukraine, Russia no longer has the capacity or is no longer perceived as a country capable of harboring authoritarian outlaws.
Most dictators/strongmen eventually come crawling to china.
Genuine question, can ICC and its allies sanction us then? If so how is harboring one criminal a better trade? Right on time with disputes with China, too. Tsk tsk.
Voting for B. A- color and background clashes. C- feels too simple and plain.
You may be right. Being on lemmy tends to skew perspectives a little bit.
