Hm, I like this idea -- the content is what values Reddit.

This scenario has happened before, has it not? Why would anyone expect that Reddit will respond differently this time and walk back their plans?
Aww, that lace bug is adorbs! I finally found one of these a few weeks ago after literally years of trying! So cool; thanks for sharing that!!
- searching for and sorting communities by some metric (like most subscribers)
- ability to acknowledge pinned posts and fold them up or remove them from view (tired of scrolling past them)
- a Share feature of a sort? I'd like to be able to "Share with..." and open a post (say, from a web browser) in Mlem.
- more descriptive error messages when trying to log in (did the login fail because u/p is wrong or the server is fubar?)
- filtering (blocking) communities should allow me to show either posts with those word(s) or posts without those word(s). As of now I think it's just posts with the defined words. Regex would be super!
This is my biggest complaint with Lemmy — I’m exhausted having to join the same communities over and over again. I wouldn’t doubt this could be a huge barrier to incoming refugees. Multi-Lemmy can’t come fast enough!
It’s not obvious to everyone though! VPN adverts make their services sound magical.
I think the most important behavioral change takeaway is not logging into services or doing the same activities while the VPN is active (if being anonymous is your goal). I do all my VPN torrents stuff through a Docker instance to avoid those pitfalls.
I miss /r/AppHookup. Everything else already arrived!
Duuuude, it's such a huge time saver! RSS is how I've used reddit for years. It's also how I use Lemmy.
lol, yeah! I hated posting an even slightly unpopular opinion on reddit. Just downvotes and insults returned.
I feel like this article has as much fear-mongering as the adverts it's railing against! I agree with the article in that there are two big issues with using a VPN: 1) Cruddy VPN services that aren't worth the money, and 2) Users connected to a VPN don't change their behavior and give themselves away.
For #1, use a service that's been well vetted (handles DNS, IPv6 properly, doesn't keep logs, anonymous payments, killswitch, etc). ProtonVPN, Mullvad, iVPN are good choices imo. For #2, ah, see https://mullvad.net/en/help/first-steps-towards-online-privacy/
It sure beats reading the back of the shampoo bottle!
Please note I'm not a horticulturist! That plant (at least the one in good condition) looks like an Impatiens to me. According to https://www.thespruce.com/shade-tolerant-impatiens-flowers-2132141 you need partial/full shade. That wilt does look like sun damage to me, so that's my guess. It also needs well-drained soil, so maybe also check how it's been watered recently.
