When I made the switch I was shocked at well it blocks ads. It still surprises me to this day. Yeah, it takes a little longer to load, but I couldn't care less.

This is what I do. On the rare occasions I need to print something, I just pop down the street to the library and do it there.
Or remember when it "felt like" - 50° F for two days straight that one February?
Agreed. I've been trying to rotate between Jerboa, Liftoff, and Connect and I just keep floating back to Liftoff for now. Finding I like the UI the best at this point and I've also been experiencing less issues with it as well.
But excited to see how they all continue to develop!
Once people on reddit start noticing the decrease in content or the increase in reposting bots, there'll be more movement towards here. We're still in our infancy and working through massive growing pains just dealing with the current influx of people. We just have to give it time and also make sure that we're participating in communities.
Makes me so uncomfortable too! Just looking at it skeeves me out.
Omfg you're here! I'm so fucking excited now! I would always read through your such well written and referenced comments!!! This is such an exciting moment!
Not only that, but a vast majority of them you can tell were never proof read or edited in any way and read horribly. I stopped clicking on news sites mainly because of that. I would get so annoyed reading an article that it was clear not even the author decided to take a moment and read back to themselves.
Boost on android and Apollo on my iPad. Absolutely fantastic apps that made the experience so much better. I don't even remember the last time I used the ofifical reddit app. Though, I haven't used reddit since the blackout began.
It's insane how true this is. I've actually worked with some kids that have no idea how to use windows, let alone know how to type. It's so odd, and almost disorienting at times, to experience this from both those older than me (parents, etc) and those younger than me.
As much as I would absolutely love us shifting from fossil fuels, it also needs to be practical. Suddenly increasing the price of gas doesn't work for rural areas like the one I live in where your car is immensely important to you being able to get to the store or your job and we're not in areas that public transport would be considered due to how small and spread out the towns are. And a lot of us don't have the option to move closer to the cities and the transit opportunities either due to our jobs or just the cost of living required for the city versus our rural homes. We NEED to start working on infrastructure that doesn't only have large cities in mind, but also us on the outskirts of the city or the rural communities will become even poorer than they are now when they have to pay a small fortune just to travel to the store or their jobs.
