Lol. He quite literally did make it up. Slop brainworms exemplified.

Absolutely true point

I've a few alts I've been using over years, but meh, I certainly won't be missed.

Only reason I'm on this alt is because I hit some days back and don't know the password. Just thought I'd take this moment to air my related grievance, as it's the reason I am drifting from the site.

I don't see your point. As well as not being true, I have had a few alts over the years, and since hmm.. a year ago? I've had the whole subs blocked.

Did I say you do? I was talking about my own experience. My experience of slop comms is they foster unhappiness more than happiness, and they certainly don't promote conversation about leftism.

If that's other peoples' experience, then great. It's not mine.

I do. Just in my personal experience, they've affected the community as a whole.

Sorry comrades, for me, personally, it's borderline too late for Hexbear. This community has too high a ratio of people who just want endless negative content to feel annoyed at, even if it's from literally fictional entities, instead of people who actually want to have fun with, shitpost about, discuess and promote leftism. This drama has just been a product of the conflict between those two parts of Hexbear.

The Slop comms have been a poisoned well, and have already essentially tilted the community into being interested in little but gawping at twitter and shitposting about literally nothing.

ie, exactly what twitter is.

Let's be clear, in the UK, parents can almost always leave behind over a million pounds worth before any tax starts kicking in. Not to mention the thousands of easy loopholes.

A pact that was a necessity when all the Allies rebuffed the USSR, but also a pact that documents show the USSR never even intended to honour from day one.

I suspect pissing about copying a mass of text into an AI to have a 70% chance of getting an actually correct answer is probably harder than pressing Ctrl+F

We're mainly waiting for you to say "Yes, I was wrong, Hexbear doesn't shill for Russia/China/DPRK and call them communist utopias, and I guess tankies is kind of a meaningless term.". I think that was the point.

ublock obviously should be installed on Firefox by default. But I seem to have a host of privacy add-ons that break few-to-no websites.

• Privacy Possum , which blocks certain tracking headers/js. Privacy Badger by the EFF is an acceptable alternative but I've personally found it doesn't block quite as much.
• NoScript Honestly my favourite addon of all time. You can operate in block-everything mode and just allow javascript/HTML5 from sites you trust, or if you're lazy then just operate in allow-everything mode and every now and then set crummy sites to untrusted (looking at you google tag manager). In block-everything-by-default mode, this add-on will break some sites, but the UI is so easy it's a couple of clicks to trust all the sites in a tab and auto-refresh.

Be warned - If you're not privacy conscious, you might cry from seeing the hundreds of sites that are running javascript on your machine without asking.

• User-Agent Switcher Really easy add-on to just leave on and misdirect sites. Never caused me a single problem, and in fact is useful when sites (looking at you Microsoft Teams) claim they don't work in Firefox and refuse to load but actually work fine if you use this addon and pretend to be Chrome.
• Sponsorblock kicks ass. 30 hours of ads skipped in half a year.

And my personal silly couple ones:

• Wikipedia Vector Skin because I'm an old fuddy duddy and I like old Wikipedia.
• Cat-In-Tab because I'm also an old fuddy-duddy that likes whimsy sometimes. This is just silly but I like it.
