Firefox with Bypass Paywall Clean D extension

Bypass Paywalls Clean (D) on Firefox works

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

I’d recommend you create your instance and defederate from the 58.99%. Wouldn’t miss you the slightest!

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)

Why choose this over DuckDuckGo? Genuine question as it has minimal tracking and is free.

It sounds like you should play Starfield

(If you want latest title and not bound by fantasy)

You can move around in them. Atleast on Android, there is a hidden red bar at the bottom which becomes visible if you pause the video.

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

This sounds quite good to me. Lot of online games have chat abuse that goes unchecked. If their AI is any good it should help.

And with a custom userConfig the top tabs disappear like Edge too

That’s not true. RAM usage in open world games depends on how much assets are being loaded. We’ll need an in-depth analysis to determine if it is bad optimization or not

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.

Can you share what tracking data Firefox connects by default on Android?
