Firefox with Bypass Paywall Clean D extension

Which distro did you use? I have a win 10 laptop and I might switch over to a Linux distro

This is the GitHub page of the extension. It details supported websites and other things

Sure they are unethical. But the millions of users who have joined them are not and they are not that tech savvy to have even heard of Fediverse. Federating with them opens 2 avenues: Possibly decrease the influence of X/Twitter as it gets more toxic and introduce general people to the concept of Fediverse and give them an option to easily migrate to one of the better Mastodon instances in future from Threads.

I believe defederating should be a user choice rather than an instance unless done for spammy/toxic instances. If instances starts to be too liberal with defederation, you create silos and introduce more hurdles for the growth of fediverse. This creates a broken up network that may not be social for everyone.

Obviously, you can be on an instance that defederates Threads.net if that’s your preference.

Is there a custom filter for removing paywalls? I use it and it doesn’t do that for me

Why have a social network if an instance is not social and not a network? He makes pretty good points on why he wants to federate with Threads. I’d personally also like to follow people who are on Threads but not on Mastodon (without joining Threads)

It would be helpful if you could list a few games.

Sounds like Russia wants to have its cake and eat it too. Not that I’m surprised

Stupidity clearly doesn’t belong only in cattle.

Cattle are important and precious. There are already immoral practices brought by capitalism while raising animals for slaughter. This doesn’t imply that it’s moral to now bring an animal to life just to steal its organs as well.

Organ transplant can be achieved artificially by just developing the organs themselves in the lab. There already has been work done in that regard.

Everyone says subscribe to hashtags to get content. I have no idea how to do that on the official Mastodon Android app. If it’s that obtuse, it’s not going to catch on easily.

Microblogging was never my preference and as it wasn’t easy enough to figure out in the app itself, being a casual user, I never looked it up in a guide/video.

They are still getting the data even if we defederate them, right? It’s only us who don’t get their data. This was my understanding on how federation works

We use CentOS for work.

Undercover Windows agent terrorizing linux newcomers /s

No one wants to see children starve. We can discuss that if you make a separate post about it backed with a reference to facts.

Hijacking this and every other post about Chandrayaan with anti-India politics is not the way. This post is about a scientific milestone and let all discussions be regarding that. Show some courtesy and you’ll get better discussion on the points that you bring up.

Or alternatively, all the comments across them should be visible in-line in all communities.

Either of these approaches gives the agency to users to only reply to one of the cross post and read all the opinions/thoughts on that post. At the same time, it maintains the federation philosophy by not taking a community about a topic down, if the instance fails.

ISRO took the fuel efficient route. That’s why a mission launched in July is landing now. Russia’s crashed lander reached moon in ~13 days. They are already quite concious of spending their research grants wisely.

I’m surprised by these people who bring up their hatred filled political agenda at every opportunity. Why don’t you go start an India bashing circle jerk community or instance and please remain there.

Come on, go spout your hatred somewhere else. This is to commemorate a scientific milestone that the entire scientific community will benefit from.
