To expand on your second point in case anyone isn’t sure what you mean:

Different browsers render webpages slightly differently, because they use different “engines”. The most popular browsers are Chrome or Edge, both of these which use the Blink engine, whereas Firefox uses a different engine called Gecko.

Web developers want their websites to work for most people, so they develop websites that are optimized to run in Blink, which means they sometimes don’t look as intended on Gecko (Firefox). It’s not Firefox’s fault that developers are doing this – of course developers want to reach the most users possible. There’s nothing wrong with Gecko, either – if it were more popular, then developers would build sites for it instead of for Blink. But, this issue of sites breaking can sometimes turn people off.

(Conversely, I develop for Firefox first, so sometimes webpages I make don’t render properly in Chrome/Edge. That’s not ideal, but I don’t care much. I think Gecko is the better + more consistent engine, and I’m not interested in chasing mass appeal.)

No we’re not. Why are you speaking for other people?

Rebranding to a 2 syllable name can be a good idea, without it being the main factor in determining a platform’s popularity.

Also, I think Misskey’s name is more confusing because the use of “Miss” and the way it was marketed makes me think it’s a space for women (and possibly furries).

there’s no fucking handbook for what we’re going through right now

There are literally thousands of books about how to resist fascism. It has been a mainstream topic for decades now.

For starters:

• Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook

• On Tyranny

• Fascism Today

The history of boycotts shows us that sustained boycotts can be enormously effective. During the civil rights movement, the Montgomery and Tallahassee bus boycotts ended racial segregation on local bus systems. Sustained boycotts were also instrumental in ending apartheid in South Africa.

Maybe we should give more credit to people doing imperfect things than to those doing nothing other than pointing out how imperfectly those things are.

Criticism is essential to building stronger movements, and any organizer worth their salt can handle criticism without an emotional outburst.

People doing things imperfectly can be more harmful than just not doing them at all. One-day boycotts damage the reputation of boycotts as a whole, which makes people more reluctant to participate in them because they view them as pointless and ineffective.

I disagree. Posting and ghosting still helps people keep up to date with any news about the organization.

I’m not going to go out of my way to check a bunch of different org’s blogs (and I’m not a fan of RSS), and prefer to be able to get news through social media. I only get news outside of aocial media when I want to properly study something in depth.

So you, a normal person, join and instantly when a meme or comment allude to being altruistic, you leave?

Lol, the lack of self-awareness in your comment is astounding. You immediately jumped to interpreting them in the least charitable way possible, instead of just asking them to clarify like a normal person. You are exactly the type of leftist that pushes a lot of people away from using Lemmy.

Who needs conservative saboteurs when you have leftists to do their work for them?
