  • I don’t block too many things, because there can occasionally be news related to a topic I have no interest in that is still interesting. Like I have no interest in sports, but if there’s something big like a scandal or arrest or some great play it mistakes, it’s fun to catch that stuff.

    The main things I outright block are anything NSFW that is definitely not for me, but mostly it’s just about all of the meme communities. The amount of material those groups churn out is overwhelming and so many just seem so low effort. Things like programming humor generally don’t bother me much, but most are just meh.



  • Top for me have to be the combo of Aniyomi and WVC.

    Aniyomi is a Tachiyomi fork that adds anime extensions. Tachi is great as is, but after Anyme shut down, I needed something to watch and track anime with MAL integration. Plus if you read manga, I’d assume you watch anime too. App and extensions receive regular updates.

    WVC aka Web Video Caster. Chromecast any video. I have watched soooooo much stuff on my TV through this. Great controls and features, frequent updates, and they’re on Reddit to talk to directly if you have issues or feature requests. Great team of people and wonderful app. First premium app I bought.

    Bring! is a close third. Works on Android and iOS so me and SO can both share a shopping list every since Google screwed theirs up. Was great when Google Assistant was linked to it, but Google broke that too. Still a great app though. We get notifications when the other person adds an item in case one of us is running errands already.


  • Came here to say stuffies. There is also Rhode Island clam chowder. All the other seafood was good too. Stopped at a public house that had free oysters that changed my mind about raw oysters.

    The Breakers mansion tour was also cool.

    HP Lovecraft’s grave is there. I enjoyed looking around Providence at night thinking about it as part of his fictional universe.

    I went to the Roger Williams Zoo.

    There is a vampire grave people leave stuff at.

    Also went to some museums and Block Island, but they just had a fire so that may be closed or difficult to get to right now.


  • A, B, and C are federated. They can all see each other’s posts.

    New group D shows up. A, B, C, and D all start off seeing each other.

    D starts posting anti-pastafarian comments. A and B are pro-pastafarian, and defederate from D.

    A and B still see C posts, but now no longer see content from D. I forget if that goes both ways or not.

    C thinks they should hear D out and don’t defederate, so C still sees everybody.

    That’s my basic understanding at least. Politely correct me if I’m mistaken!
