You can try NewPipe, which is free. IIRC I downloaded it from F-Droid. Maybe someone else can reply and confirm that’s the best place to get it.

My kids call me bruh and I’m their mom, so, eh.

So Mohawk-esque? That I can get with.

It looks less than practical. What do you do when you want to pull it all way from your face? Rock a side ponytail?

Aha, thank you!

Not to be pedantic but wasn’t SpongeBob already in water? He would’ve absorbed and been filled with water, so those pictures mean the meme writer was totally hydrated, yes?

So funny to tell this community with wholesome life-love-laugh type memes. Well played, OP.

Am I the only one who likes this song? I even love Last Christmas. I think it’s because I don’t go into brick and mortar stores often, so I can go a whole season and only hear it a few times. Somehow I hear Father Christmas and Christmas Wrapping way more often.

This is the sign you were looking for to get off of dating apps.

My takeaway is Ohanian is a good guy (also based on other things I’ve heard about him).

It’s one thing to speak from your heart and foster dialog so that different people can share their different POV. However, I’m someone who is on these forums to spend a little time learning about new ideas and issues without it becoming a heated, involved debate. These “free speech platforms” seem to inevitably devolve into arguments. I’m not LGBTQ+ but a lot of arguments and tense, heated conversations seem to be centered around that lately, with reaching a middle ground impossible. (especially since on side wants the other to not exist or have any rights at all). (ETA: To be clear, a lot of free speech proponents just want to be able to say racial or otherwise bigoted slurs without any repercussions. ) I don’t want to hear other people arguing on my limited online time… I just want a pleasant, educational, respectful experience, which is what I get on kbin, Lemmy, and Tildes. I know that some people love debating and winning arguments but I am not here to change minds or win on the Internet. If someone loves debating and dominating a conversation, more power to them, but I seek out chill, mellow online spaces. Real life is stressful enough. Can you understand why I might want to avoid an advertised free speech space?

Same. I signed up to Squabbles but any time I visited, which wasn’t often, people seemed to be in the middle of a fight or dealing with the aftermath of trolls. They changed their name and URL and I stayed and at first it seemed fine, but the last time I checked the dev announced it was now suddenly a “free speech platform”; protections for LGBTQ+ people were removed from the TOS; and that all content created by users now belonged to the site to do with as it wished. So I deleted my comments (not many made so that was easy) and account and created one at Discuit. So I give Discuit a few months before that implodes, lol.

I am very grateful for kbin and Lemmy.

I just went to Reddit.com. It looks like it’s up but all of the posts on the main page are from 9 hrs ago or older (I didn’t scroll very far to see if there were newer ones).

I went to the search and looked up Redditalternatives. I got two error messages - “We had a server error…” and “Request failed.” But the sub appeared behind the error pop ups. I see sub posts from 2 and 4 hrs ago.

Does this mean that Reddit is down? I don’t want to engage too much with the site to find out.

Twitter’s new CEO is on her own glass cliff. This tactic is so obvious.

Yes, they left a message with a link to their Diacord.

Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to.

ETA: This pushed me to finally uninstall it
