Hosting data yourself wouldn’t be required, but it would become an option.

You’d have the option of leaving your identity on your home server, or a separate domain/website, or host your data and identity but use another instance to federate.

Though, designing UX for this will be an interesting challenge.

yes but active usage doesnt mean it was not used?

If their criteria was “at least 1 person uses it at all, sometimes” then it would not have been removed 🤔

likely no maintenance effort at all.

The maintenance comes less from the code and more from making sure that every single menu added or changed in any way continues to behave correctly in three different sizes with themes and everything.

It’s hidden away behind a flag now because it hasn’t been actively used for years on end.

Not the other way around.

It is essentially just extra maintenance of a feature in Firefox that (statistically) not many people use

As such, it’s marked as “unsupported” to make clear that if any issues arise, Mozilla won’t help you with those issues.

Generally, if your admin set something like that up, they will have instructions in their privacy policy.

atomic updates 🧠

They should’ve just moved the other twitter domains too 🫠

This issue comes from the fact that even though the domain is now changed to x.com, it still tries to load content from twitter.com which Firefox thinks is social media tracking because it’s coming from a different domain than the one you’re on.

It’s a hilarious and dumb oversight with this change.

Note that tons of instances have increased the limit FAR beyond 500 chars. Mine has 2000.

You can actually put alt-text in images, ![alt-text](URL)

As per the MV3 Specification, it is supposed to remove some APIs.

Firefox included them anyways cuz they’re not assholes.

Manifest V3 changes capabilities and meta-data about extensions, including limiting lots of things that worsen the experience for AdBlock Users.

Google’s “cookie replacement” is Ad Topics, which collects your browser history and puts it into categories, sending those categories to websites.

I think what you’re experiencing online is a mix of loud minorities¹ and online disinhibition², not an accurate representation of vegans.

1: When there exists a minority in XYZ Group that is “louder” than the majority, causing people to associate XYZ group with the minority. 2: The phenomena of people acting out more violently, frequently, or pushy online when compared to being in-person, primarily due to anonymity

In spirit

Specifically the annoyingly loud, self-righteous, insists-everyone-must-join-them vegans. Unfortunately, most people only really see this sort of vegan

On this note, I’d like to point to the Loud Minority problem; You have XYZ group, and within XYZ group there exists a minority that comes across as very “loud”. You can barely miss them, and because they state they’re a part of XYZ group, you start associating that group with the loud minority.

Happens with Vegans a lot, and usually people which have already associated a group with a minority within said group which annoys them do not want to learn that they are wrong, or will just refuse to accept they are wrong.

I’ve just installed it, and it runs just fine on my PC

As per the source code, that was probably from here given that is where the source code for this Linux port lives.

I know enough people that hate Material Design 3, or even just the Monet component, so I’ll leave that for everyone to decide for themselves.

well, not if you want a UI that’s designed around threads like Lemmy or Kbin does 🤔

FWIW, Voyager has a Material-Design inspired alternative look that can be enabled in the settings.

a bit late to crosspost that here, no? 🤔
