None of the popular/successful apps are bad.

They usually have great ui/ux and are being actively developed or at least maintained. Think google maps, apple wallet, or of course discord. What is hot garbage, however, is having to accept massive privacy violations if you use them. Vencord unfortunately does not mitigate that. :(

To me, all of the fediverse feels just the same as the platforms they set out to replace. Mastodon nowadays is like 50% bots and 50% stupid people, like twitter, just a slightly different echochamber. Lemmy feels the same as reddit to me, also echochamber-y and botty, just more dead (as in less people). Very frustrating. The german memes here are fire, though.

It's their little pet conflict, they don't care about anything else and arguably don't really care about gaza or palestine. Most probably don't even know the difference between the two.

If you call out obvious iranian propaganda or do so much as hinting at "using women and children as human shields is bad", you are a zionist, genocide-apologist, blahblahblah.

Calling out antisemitism, especially within the self-proclaimed political left, is another sure way to get some ad hominem insults and/or threats.

That being said, your comment is still a straw man.

They never cared for the palestinian cause. It's just white middle class' substitute for religious belief. We are the divinely good, they are the divinely bad. Thus devoid of all critical thinking.

I would happily pay for yt premium, if that also meant that google does not violate my privacy and sell my data.

Tell me you don't know shit about german police without telling me you don't know shit about german police

Of course, afd is probably way too moderate for large parts of the German police

Tbh my money is on "anon made shit up"

I thought that I burned my last cd a long time ago until my uni required me to hand in my thesis on a cd.

Buying a 4-pack of CDs (with cases) was more expensive than buying a 128gb sd card.
