This is what I use. Not amazing, but given it's possible to use Messenger through it as well if needed, it's better than nothing.

I'd been on the waitlist for more than a year, but finally on. I downloaded the app a little while ago to keep tabs on my progress through the waitlist and they definitely have been speeding up the process of getting people onboarded to be fair.

Who would have guessed?! Now to wait and see how many commentators and newspaper editors call the judges 'enemies of the people'.

I've currently settled with Liftoff. I got very used to Jerboa and was perfectly happy with it, but the last few updates broke it to the point of unusability for me.

Liftoff isn't perfect, though its pretty good. My biggest gripe is that as far as I can tell there's no button to go straight to the top of the feed, which is really annoying when you've been scrolling for ages and have to scroll all the way back up. Hopefully that will be added soon.

Just given Hive Dark a go and it looks really good! Definitely adds a lot to the feel of Beehaw. Thanks a lot, and good luck with the inevitable v0.18.0 breakage!

Nor does it take into account that people's views can change, and an outright ban simply for being part of the community only isolates them from the less batshit communities that may help them actually move away from it.

This is genuinely very cool and has made me nostalgic enough to consider trying to get hold of one for my Game Boy! I only wish I had some photography talent, as it's quite a feat to take good photos with something so technically rubbish.

I've been using Tasks.org which syncs with my Nextcloud perfectly. Had tried quite a few before settling on this as the best option.

I know there's already a few posts about how people listen to, or discover new music, but I wanted to see how other people get their music. Do you buy CDs or vinyl? Digital downloads? Use streaming services? Something else? And why?

Until a few years ago, I would jump between streaming services depending on the best deals I could get, but got very concerned the more I read about how little money most musicians get from streaming listens (especially via Spotify) - and given I tend to listen to less popular bands/artists, it seems particularly bad for them.

I have a small selection of CDs and vinyl, but mostly buy my music digitally - directly via Bandcamp if the artist is on there, or through an online store like 7digital (or even sometimes if no other option, Amazon) if not. I have a home server where I keep my music and like to be able to stream it directly to my phone, so this tends to be the best of both worlds for me.

Interested to know what others do!

I was using Storygraph for a little while once I decided I no longer wanted to use Goodreads due to being owned by Amazon.

Then I tried Openreads for a short time, before realising I missed some of the social elements of the first two.

Finally settled on a local BookWyrm instance, Rambling Readers, which I'm happy with. It sometimes requires a bit of manual editing of books, but the more people use BookWyrm and contribute, the less often that should be necessary.
