It’s come a long way.

This is probably the least painful way to get a few fediverse apps installed. There are many Mastodon type apps, Pixelfed, Lemmy and maybe more.

This works. If OP has a SIM card (vs esim) then it’s easy to move it back and forth between phones as the problem ebbs and flows. I have a $60 “feature” phone (the non-slang name for them) that sits in a drawer and comes out a few times a year to quell the noise.

You are, in fact, doom scrolling.

That is a good book.

Re: downvoting; I think it’s just knee jerk reaction to any suggestion Facebook can do anything good. I have the same reaction but, like you, there’s a specific group I belong to that doesn’t exist elsewhere and it’s one of the few groups that isn’t toxic or hysterical.

F* no.

psst. It’s the federation.

What a bizarre thing to think.

I’ve been surprised to find that females in my circle consider dude gender neutral.

Commas matter.

Some (all?) of the apps just wrap the FB website so they can’t really tell what’s happening to block it or could do so without hitting a bunch of innocents.

Addling a vote for Fastmail. It’s great, priced right, privacy centric, has wicked 1Passwold integration (including disposable email addresses) and nerdy features for those who want them.

Personally I use Hey but that’s because imma snob.

Thank you, I did not know that.

Do you have to block communities? I thought you could just not join them to avoid their content.

Judge Dredd, obvi.

Many moons ago I used heartbeat for this, but you’d need both servers in the same cidr range. I assume that’s not the case here.

In your case you could probably use a dynamic DNS service to move the IP around, but the challenge would be knowing when to kick it off.

You could write scripts to determine when the live one goes down, but we’re probably already more complicated than you were looking for.

It’s a very generational question. Like, many of the cartoons I watched as a kid would definitely be considered crazy today (and racist, misogynistic, murderous, etc.) but at the time were typical.

In my experience, the “entire planet” isn’t capable of uniting on anything.

45 minutes? How many M&Ms were there? 🤨
