Don’t even bother. Lemmy is not the place to have these discussions.

Actually I don’t feel that for any instance, be they extreme right left or center.

Let the users pick for themselves, instead of forcing them into a position.

If it seems wild to you to fedrate with Metq, why don’t you just defederate yourself then?

Because you actually have that power. You yourself can decide.

If .world deferates the entire instance, people like me who wants to federate with them no longer has a choice.

Yadda yadda yadda… You can just block them yourself. No need to force everyone to miss out on them, just because you may think it’s wrong to federate with them.

I was really on-board of the idea of Lemmy in the beginning. It all made a lot of sense, and I felt like a part of the community.

But now it feels like its just an echo chamber of people, who seems to have very extreme beliefs.

It’s starting to be clear that the whole “ML - Leninism Marxism” was actually a big part of Lemmy.

I’m a centrist, slightly leaning towards the left, but I don’t feel like I truly belong in the demographic of Lemmy any longer. Reddit is starting to pull me back, and Boost still works, which only makes it harder to resist…

Yes, I meant unbiased, sorry.

But look at our scores. We are voices that defies the echo chamber. Therefor we must be silenced.

It sucks, because I actually genuinely was happy for Lemmy, and had moved all my browsing over here. But alas, it seems that I can no longer use this platform for news. I will go back to having this community blocked.

PS) Try going to r/worldnews and Reddit, and check what the tone of audience is over there. Much more biased towards Israel, which is a no-brainer in my world.

Notice how the comment you replied to, despite claiming they “always get hate” has nothing but supportive people upvoting, while you have 3 angry lions going for the neck because you dare to say you support Israel…

It has come too far to ever work. This community, @world, is no longer a place for biased news. I have had to block for a long time, but just came back to see if it was still such a mess. Turns out it is.

The worst thing is that the mods here are directly supporting this.

Yeah, the sync can be a bit “effy” sometimes. I’ve noticed it with history and open tabs, probably affects newly-saved passwords as well.

Anyways, Lockwise worked good for me for many years, and its definitely better than nothing.

We all have to learn to improve.

2023 was the year I started my journey towards privacy as well. Protonmail and AnonAddy for email aliasing.

Doing this also made me switch to an actual password manager, instead of relying on Firefox to save my passwords.

I picked Bitwarden. Their track record seemed good. Price is also extremely fair. Its most likely a lot less than you were spending on LastPass anyways. Another notable mention is 1Password, though I have never used them myself.

Good luck!

This was me for the last 7 or so years. I still had the Lockwise app and everything.

I switched to Bitwarden half a year ago, and I’m very pleased with the transition.

I find it easier to manage with the add-on, and it allows for saving notes and attachments for each login. The built-in 2FA is godsent though. No more hacky solutions like Authy to get 2FA on my PC.

The original reason for why I switched, was because I was scared of my PC getting infected. If you store passwords in Firefox, they can be accessed from a file on the PC. If that’s not a concern for you, you can easily keep using it though.

LastPass is mpre known for being breached than being a password manager these days.

The last breach was brutal. Turns out notes weren’t encrypted either.

Please look up the breaches of LastPass. Such things are simply unacceptable for a password manager.

I’ve been using Jerboa for quite a while now. Everything has worked alright, with no big complaints.

After the 0.18 update, I have had issues with using lemmy.world, so I decided to give yourbsuggestion a try instead.

Turns out I had already installed Liftoff, and was quite surprised now that I gave it a second try.

It’s clearly still in development, and there are some things from Jerboa that I will miss, but I’m set on giving it a sincere try this time around.

If anyone is interested, its available in the Play Store:

Hopefully the meme-posters will stay on Reddit

Look, I’m all for reminiscing about “the good ole days” of YouTube, but let’s be honest - the 5-star-system was pretty useless, and was used in the same was as up/down thumbs.

You would either rate the video 5 stars or 1 star. Always.

The switch to thumbs up/down made it much more easy to judge a video. And with the green/red bar beneath, you badicslly had a more condensed star-rating.

YouTube (or rather Google) have made a lot of bad decisions regarding the platform over the years, but I sincerely think that switching to thumbs was a good change.
