I meant lecture recordings that are only meant for the students in the class
Sure we can invite external opinions but it's not worth the trouble. People can call out the stuff elsewhere

Depends on the content
If it's a product or service, then I'll find other sources before buying
If it's an ~~academic source~~ lecture recording or news story, then I prefer comments to be disabled. Shows me that the channel cares enough about it
The core issue here is instances disappearing, and That goes into the discussion of the structure of the fediverse right now vs. the fediverse in the future
A dozen big instances feel better now, and I personally wouldn't make a community on a smaller instance unless I know it is likely to stay up. If it was run by an existing organization for example.
Long term though, I trust existing organizations to set up stable instances that won't be shut down easily. If a government, school, game company etc. makes an instance it's not likely to go down. Having lots of instances will look more normal then.
Ultimately we don't need to do anything differently, I recommend new people join a big instance and then make a new account once they know what instance they like.
note to everyone: please don't downvote good faith questions
OP asked a pretty reasonable open ended question. There are other people who may be thinking the same, and reading the discussions here might change their minds. Save downvoting for rule breaking / content that's bad for the community
This sounds like a positive change though
On boost I swipe from the right side of the screen when on a community
On connect I hit the 3 dots and go "About community"
That's a great point, uBlock Origin helps a lot with scams on desktop.
I agree to disagree
I should also point out that I haven't tried GrapheneOS and can't judge what the differences might be, so I'll go with your experience on this :)
The problem is that other people will be unfamiliar with it. Unless OP can be the support person all the time, the grandparents may want to get help from someone else.
Keeping things stock is helpful for that, and I feel like Google Pixel is already simple enough. Just disable things like assistant during setup or in settings.
Yea it makes sense in some cases
Most people can still use Discord for day to day stuff without ads. The extra features are mostly cosmetic, or things like better quality video/audio, which comes with increased load
Data tracking is probably still happening though
I have a few apps installed just in case I need them, but that all depends on battery life. Gotta learn fast. When winter comes it's probably over regardless
- Survival Manual (Fdroid), someone posted a link below
- First Aid, Red Cross (Google Play)
- Knots 3D (Google Play)
Same
Although our instances give that away
Is this run with termux or something?
