Yeah, I agree, to a certain point. Most Jewish people I know, though, aren't religious at all but for following certain traditions that don't even include eating kosher food. Of course that doesn't include orthodox Jews, but I don't know any.

As for the training of it ("That's not "keeping to yourself" to me. That's like passing the cigarettes to your kids" and the "default scenario"), well, it's the default upbringing in every family. Besides exceptions, conservative parents will raise conservative kids because that's their growing environment, the same with more liberal ones, etc. That's not proselytising, it's a while different thing

Same principle as with cassettes/music tapes.

Although all religions are useless and shouldn't have any privilege, only to be practiced in their own spaces, I am aware that not all religions compete in a proselytistic way. I understand that, for example, Judaism doesn't proselytise and that "converting" to Judaism is even a long and difficult process, which makes me think it is like discouraging conversion, in some way, by making it so uphill.

When I had my Geocities website, I used Webcrawler as my preferred search engine. Cute spider and spiderweb iso/logo. Then came Altavista (altavista.digital.com, it was at first) and I switched. It brought more and better results. Somehow I never liked Lycos. And Yahoo, the first years, was a categorised catalogue/guide, kinda curated, and you had to submit a site to be considered to be added. You had to choose under which category (and subcategory, quite often) it should be listed. Also, at first, it wasn't Yahoo.com, it was buried in some .edu (or .ac, I don't quite recall) URL.

Not that I like it, and I really do like certain Linux distros, but in my case I have to use some software that runs well on Windows and isn't available under Linux. Alternatives aren't as good, and the versions I need don't run well (or not at all) on WINE. As far as proprietary OSs go, I find Mac OS much better than windows, both in general user interface, integration and how smooth it runs and feels, but as a choice it's even more expensive than Windows. Better, yes, but more expensive.

When/if the software I need ~~find~~ runs under Linux I'll stop using windows, I guess.

This one is just one answer to your question. I'm sure there might be some more.

Edit: runs

Same for me. But I don't use Reddit's own app on mobile. I use Boost, because it's still allowed for moderators, since Reddit's app is shit for that. Doesn't matter if you aren't yet a moderator. Go there on a browser on a PC or Mac. Create a new subreddit. Great, now you're its moderator. Then enter with Boost (on Android), and that's it.

Anyway, the more people leave Reddit to cross the pond and get to Lemmy, the best.

Not the one you're replying to, but sometimes you're just a follower of some community, because you lack the knowledge to be more than that even when you are interested in the subject. To create/moderate a community, or even to be quite active in it, isn't for everyone, I guess. No need to insult someone because they can't do more than they're able to.

In my opinion, that is.

True, yet it still isn't, as far as I can see.

Sync and Boost are indeed outstanding, just like they were on Reddit. My two favourites, no doubt about it
