I haven't read one shots before so thank you for posting all these. I'll check them out.

Lineagos run on an old Android phone with Aurora store to install and update play store apps. I just turn on the work profile when I check in and messages then turn it off. And it's not my main phone either so consequence is that I won't be instantly available, so ends up being more like email in terms of time it takes me to respond back. But, I am at least available on the preferred ways people want to communicate.
I've been reading School-Live after finishing the anime. I liked how the anime kept details from being apparent right away when it came to introducing the school, so that was better done. Taromaru is also the best character that didn't have a big role in the Manga. I'm enjoying the continuation of the storyline after the anime ends.
Mobile games don't become as lucrative as it is without mtx. People understand the business reason, but it doesn't mean it shields it from criticism. Doesn't need defending either, since as you said money is enough to not care. You don't really start doing that stuff if you care about perception, so I say good for them monetarily speaking. But, that's the extent of my praise.
Personally I avoid videos with variations of the open mouth, confused face, and disappointed look these days. It's just the area of YouTube I've gotten tired of, and those videos usually tend to be pretty shilly playing to the algorithm and tend to be from bigger channels. I understand why its done, but it doesn't shield from criticism. Anyways good for them, but it has manifested in a way where because the algorithm is what dictates the product it feels like AI in a way where the presentation style gets tiring.
Basically don't download apks from telegram.
I've liked the approach of using pihole for local devices, and then when away using like a local vpn approach to filtering stuff out like personaldnsfilter.
Haven't really looked into paid options.
Yeah, finding the right instance can be tricky. If you want some more anonomity so you easily blend into the crowd then a general instance might offer that, but then the general community there can have problematic topics and comments trending locally that might brother you enough to want to move if you don't like the general users.
But, then if you go with a niche instance that is immediately identifiable as holding certain values then it can be harder to blend in and instantly stand out from other comments if the instance exists for a specific topic as its image.
With your doxxing issues. I'm not sure the extent of private information was leaked, but it is best to see what information shared could have led to the doxxing being possible. Finding what led to that can help to try and reduce risks online, since any publicly viewable social media can't offer protection. Only thing that can be done on public social media is to try to not share too much identifiable info or change details to try and reduce risk while retaining the core idea of the message.
Browsing an instance locally and deciding if you like the content generated from there is the best way to decide if the instance is a fit for you. It gives the best idea of the community there.
lemmit bot is the main one to block. You can also uncheck show bot accounts in the settings.
I didn't really get captivated by The Wire until season 3. It had some really memorable moments, but it was a show I had to force myself through until season 3. Especially season 2, since the dock workers didn't catch my interest.
Odd to see the screwdriver thread locked, since it's something I would view as directly related to LTT as opposed to off tangent. Seems normal to want to compare similar products, since I am assuming most of us prefer to get as much insight into the quality of a product and whether it is worth the price as opposed to blindly buying.
Reddit is still cool for having their rss, and I hope that doesn't change. So I set up a RSS feed for gamedeals and buildapcsales. Those were the most useful and frequently used subs for me. It was interesting to find that I didn't really miss the other subs that much even though they haven't sprung up here, since they didn't have the same level of utility.
It's one of the reasons I've moved over to lot of Foss apps over the years, and opting for using lite apps through the browser over downloading official apps.
I never understood why reddit didn't go to asking for a cut of the third party sales for a revenue sharing model over this api usage tier.
But then a look at the permissions asked of the official reddit app made me understand.
I checked out the relay subreddit and there was a thread of people trying to see what plan they would need to pay for. Was insane seeing smartphone type plans when it came to social media usage like it's some monthly utility they need.
I wonder if that suggests that hardware made prior to that data doesn't suffer from the same flaws? Or if it's just an arbitrary cut off they decided on for the affected customers they would include in the lawsuit.
How addicted does someone have to be to pay to use reddit. Average reddit users is probably fine fine with the official app or moved to browser so would also see this type of reddit user as bizzare. Would like to know how much they rack up in fees using reddit.
The complaint is seeking class-action certification on behalf of people who bought a 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB SanDisk Extreme Pro, SanDisk Extreme, or Western Digital My Passport SSD that was "designed, manufactured, distributed, promoted and/or sold" since January 2023.
Looks like this is for people who've purchased the drives since January 2023. So does it not affect people from before?
Adding TV shows into the mix that were average made it too much to bother keeping up, and I haven't watched MCU since then.
