    discord was always kind of shit; we definitely didn’t need another blackbox in communications back in 2015.

    would love it if people moved away to something like stoat (can’t wholeheartedly recommend element / matrix right now), unfortunately I don’t see it happening at any large scale, and maybe that’s not the end of the world.

    many of us made a similar move away from reddit to lemmy and other activitypub-powered aggregators back in 2023. it’s small and niche but pretty lovely? we generally have pleasant experiences here.

    sort of apples to oranges but maybe the same can be true for people who want to move away from discord for ideological reasons.

    The graphene community in the past has pointed out Firefox’s incomplete content sandboxing implementation and suggested that other aspects of security are not up to chromiums standard. They pointed out other technical shortcomings as well, though I can’t recall them, I’m not sure how urgent they’d be.

    This was several years ago, and I’m not sure if any of this has been addressed, but I wouldn’t like to rely on manifest v3 compliant ad blocking.

    I get the impression that Firefox may continue to lag in this regard, and I don’t feel that people like us are made vulnerable by this, though I do worry about people like my parents.
