Ah, I stick to torrenting. Pirate stream websites have always seemed sketchy to me.

I’ve been pirating for years and never encountered an ad beyond subtitle ads. Is this anime specific or something?

Thanks, didn’t know about this.

Voyager is one of my favorite apps these days, and a fantastic example of “web apps don’t have to suck”.

I’ve been spending a majority of my time on here when I do my “Redditing”. I only visit the old site for niche topics. I spend as little time as possible there, I don’t upvote or downvote anything, and I don’t comment either. It’s read-only for me out of principle. I save all interactions for the fediverse.

I doubt all the communities will rebuild elsewhere, but I’m okay with that. Some fragmentation is necessary. Smaller communities make individual voices louder, and you have less ugly “sidedness”. When humans get into a critical mass IRL they can start to do strange things, I think we see this in social media as well.

I agree. Just give me some decent posts and discussion. For niche things I can go to a big platform with all the users. For my daily browsing, I appreciate a small but active community.
