If it helps, you can dig into Androids settings and use Firefox for the default in-app browser for most apps. That's what I did, anyway, and it's been fantastic.

Well then. I'm unsure what news article I read that spurred me to try Firefox on mobile, but that's my recollection of the order of events.

Huh. I was under the impression that proper extension support (eg ublock origin) only came about recently?

Oh man. Once Firefox on Android got extension support, I hopped on that train so hard. No ads on mobile browser? Heck yeah.

Most Nebula creators that I'm familiar with still also upload to YouTube. They just post to Nebula first, like a timed exclusive. The truly Nebula exclusive stuff is almost universally stuff that wouldn't work on YouTube anyway.

Pretty much, yep.

The hexbear folks were the worst. Like, putting all of their political opinions aside, they would just swarm posts and flood it with low quality buzzwords and memes and every formatting option to be as visually obnoxious as possible.

I don't know if I blocked them, they blocked me, or if my instance defederated from then, but holy shit my Lemmy experience got so much better when I stopped seeing their shit everywhere.

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth"

At least I think that's from the sermon on the mount. Raised Christian, but I've been a self identifying atheist for about 15 years at this point.

I can see why someone would identify as "fiscally conservative", but not if they actually paid attention to what conservative fiscal policy really does.

The most "reasonable" version I can imagine is the kind where someone goes "things are fine for me, so let's just go with the status quo, maybe fewer taxes, that's conservative, right?"

But man... once you know anything about the history of conservatism or what it stands for in the US now... what can I say but yikes.

Rumble isn't any better. It's where my dad gets his COVID conspiracy material after folks got kicked off other platforms.

Bold of you to claim most millennials understand how a computer works.
