Nice to meet you. Let’s talk :-)

First post here 🙂. Does anyone know how to quickly view the posts in magazines that you have subscribed for?
I see there is a menu item that redirects to https://kbin.social/sub, but is there a quicker way?

Agree with OP.
I’ve posted original content on subreddits meant for people with mental disorders. I also helped people find solutions for software-related problems. I don’t feel that screwing them over to make a statement to Reddit’s CEO is the right way to go.
I plan to delete my Reddit account and avoid visiting the site as much as I can. If enough people do the same thing and use alternatives instead, that’s enough of a statement to me.
I am a BIG Firefox fan, but I do wonder why there have been so little new features in the 2023 releases.
Yes, working on a migration wizard and search improvements are nice, but these won’t spark real excitement within the community.
In the meantime, people are posting many interesting ideas on Mozilla Connect and giving the Tab Grouping feature 1600+ votes.
Why doesn’t the Firefox team pick one of these to work on?
It really feels like Firefox has entered maintenance mode. Quite sad to see when you remember the great stuff that was built in the previous years.
Where’s the roadmap, the vision, the enthusiasm?
Nicely designed, but not particularly a fan of this mascot to be honest.
I also think fear-mongering won’t help. There is little we can change about it. Let instances decide for themselves to defederate or not.
Yes, there is a risk Meta applies the “EEE” strategy. We shouldn’t be naive about that. But why would you stay on an ad-ridden Meta ActivityPub server if you see there are friendly, ad-free Activity servers on Mastodon and the likes?
For a more positive view and an interesting read on the matter, I recommend:

Good question. Magazines that mention this often display a different number of posts compared to the original instance, just as the message says.
I also wonder whether this will be fixed or is there to stay because 100% synchronization is not achievable.
Certainly. It’s really important to have as many people as possible using a different browser engine (Gecko) in this Chromium-dominated world.
And … uBlock Origin works the best on Firefox (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox).
These must be the most beautiful 3D icons I’ve seen in my whole life. Stunning work!
