I mean, to me (in the DC area, so not nearly as bad as it was further north) it just smelled like a campfire outside to me. It wasn't a particularly offensive smell.
But I could FEEL that the air quality was bad every time I took a breath, and I don't have any kinds of respiratory issues.
This may unironically be the first time I've ever suggested this: this may actually be a use case for the block chain.
If the user data from all instances was being saved to a distributed and verified ledger, it would fix the problem of one node going down losing all of those users, and would be a decentralized yet centralized way to go about it.

I'm using Jeroba on android and I think it's pretty solid so far, considering how new it is. It has more than I expected it to, it just needs time to get developed more. There's a few features I want to go make github issues to request, but they're nothing critical.
And I agree with your last paragraph completely. I think most people using third party apps were not lurkers. Most of them were probably using a 3pa because they had been for years, from the time when the reddit app was either nonexistent or even worse than tosay, or had found the reddit app too annoying to comment and post with. They're people who use reddit so much on their phone that the official app is too annoying and ugly to tolerate.
And seeing how many mods are ip in arms about the mod tools they use, it seems like reddit is really shooting itself in the foot.
Also new, and I'm with you- reddit was always too full of right wingers for my liking. I also like this instance (lemmy.ml)and it seems to have a more left tilt, specifically when it comes to bigotry.
Yes but there's only 7 subscribers and I'm the only post :(
Then again it's a niche community about a fantasy series, I'm not surprised it doesn't have much going on yet.

Agreed. I don't like how much our society has given into the Right's attempt to inherently politicize the existence of minority groups. The TREATMENT of those minority groups by the government is certainly political, but not whether or not they should be allowed to exist.
I'm 100% okay telling people who think that Transgender healthcare should be banned, or that the Jews are the root of societies problems, or that the government should force women to carry pregnancies to term to go have those opinions elsewhere, that they aren't welcome here. I don't think it's somehow "anti free speech" to do that either, they can go scream it on the corner of their street all they want. Just don't let them do it here, because these aren't issues that I think should be up for debate. The root of the "debate" around those issues is bigotry (and control over the individual, in the case of abortion) and I don't see any way to acceptably decouple the bigotry from the "issue" at hand.
Sometimes society decides an idea is too shitty to be expressed publicly without shame and ridicule, and I think that's fine. I don't have a problem with private spaces openly banning that kind of speech.
No no, he used his magic fire body to melt his way through the earth, kinda like this,, except he also made the earth re-solidify above him. He kept going until he hit a cave then just kinda chilled in there for several thousand years until the dwarves very rudely broke in and woke him up.
He just wanted the longest, most secluded nap ever.
I'm seeing the same, not sure if it's all images in comments or just that one
