Thank you for your interest. Done and done! :)
Why is there a SEARCH bar next to the bar where you can search anyway?
Muscle memory I guess. I associate the main bar with typing in websites. While the smaller one for search. That’s how I’ve been doing it for years.
The icons are pinned tabs using sideberry and CSS from r/FirefoxCSS
Ehh. Different strokes, I guess. Too much minimalism for me becomes extra step. Like if remove the search bar, I would have to type in duckduckgo.com everytime I need to search. Without the pinned icons, I would have to type gmail everytime, for example. Firefox is my secondary desktop and I treat those icons as kind of like a mini app. :)
Same. @squizzy, I don’t like microblogging in general either. I was raised in the golden era of forums (the days of phpBB and vBulletin). My twitter account hasn’t been touched for years now.
tweXit does have a nice ring to it. Made me laugh 😂
Speaking as someone who’s mostly on a laptop screen, that thing is big. When at home (which doesn’t happen a lot these days), I connect my laptop to a more modest Xiaomi 1C Monitor 23.8 Inch. I am not a techie so I’m not sure what I can use a vertical monitor for though.
For some reason, this reminds me of the old digg. I’m feeling nostalgic. :)
Sleek and beautiful. And judging from that desktop, you’ve got a pretty big monitor.
I used sidebery and edited the userchrome.css using guides from r/FirefoxCSS
here’s some guides for them:
But for reference, here are the codes for them (since Reddit appears to be down at the time of this writing)
Here’s the sidebery link on github

Note, to find your firefox profile folder:
As an iOS user and long time Firefox user (never switched to chrome in my life) I feel jealous. But one can only hope that we too in the APPLE walled garden won’t be left behind. Though I understand that it would be a long shot. :(
Some of the older fandoms started out there and it existed when majority of the internet users are younger and just starting out so I can understand the quality. Some of my older works are still there and I cringe at them. But that said, there are some hidden gems in FFN not otherwise seen elsewhere.
Hmmm, on the bright side, with lemmy going mainstream maybe some of this culture (including privacy and FOSS) becomes more and more openly discussed.
True. Even buying things on say the playstore, App store, steam or any platform really is a ticking time bomb. If the platform disappears or the companies running them have a change in management, there’s no guarantee.
At least with physical copies, our software is with us regardless of what happens to the companies behind them.
I wholeheartedly support NOT engaging with beehaw. Any instance that supports defederation and censorship is an instance NOT worth supporting. The fediverse is supposed to be a refuge of free speech (within reason of course.) If an instance chose to defederate and isolate itself, it deserves the very same isolation it so wanted.
Tldr; beehaw wants to isolate, then give it the isolation it wants.
Musk would probably come close. He can shut down internet and stop your car if you own Tesla. And he already has his Space companies. On the other hand, if Meta takes off, Zuckerberg is a close candidate followed by Microsoft.
