If I remember right, ABP is the one that was taking payments from companies to let through their advertisements. Ublock origin is free and open source and doesn't have any of that.

I was clearing out my old account and there was something like 800 coins there, and I've never paid reddit a cent. So yeah, I'd say free coins.

Try this other fork. You shouldn't need to edit any code, just drag the button into your bookmarks toolbar. You might need to enable a setting to show the toolbar.

It's complicated and a lot of nuance can easily be lost when talking about it. When looking at voting behaviour and political beliefs various factors are at play:

• Geographic location
• Age
• Gender
• Education level
• Tendency to vote

And even with all of that, in different online spaces certain demographics can have outsized influence in various ways, so it can appear that one type of person is more common than it actually is (and this applies in all directions, not just left-wing spaces).

Good summary of events. I'll add that you have a mistake in the link to lemmy's PR requests, which points to Kbin PR instead.

Unofficial crDroid with Poco X2. No real issues, although I haven't been able to get SBC-XQ working which it supposedly supports.

Stock android ROM(s) sound like a good fit since you seem to like a minimal experience.

GrapheneOS would probably suit you too and has improved privacy and security, but it's Pixel only so I've never got to try it myself.

It's not trivial but not as hard as I thought, at least last time I tried it. The absurd amount of disk space the build environment requires, along with the time to actually clone it it, is probably the most annoying part.

You could use it as a source for contributing links rather than interacting with existing threads. Which is more important in the early days, particularly for niche communities.

There's also audiobookshelf for a self-hosted approach to audiodooks and podcasts, although the podcast functionality does still need some work.

0.18 is only in release candidate stage so isn't in a final version yet. And the instances themselves won't necessarily immediately to jump to the new version I would suspect.

Apparently the lemmy.world one is an "official" one built by the /r/pop_os mods, so probably makes sense to consolidate there. But yeah, it's all still shaking out in general and it probably won't be clear which is the main community/magazine initially for many places.
