The vast majority of people on Lemmy right now are directly from Reddit and they act exactly like the bog standard Redditors they are. Stop deluding yourself.
I was an extremely faithful catholic until the age of 18. Around then I decided to start taking my faith even more seriously and started digging into the big questions and what the leaders in my (Catholic) church thought. Very soon after I was a very angry atheist. So very fucking angry,
These days I'm simply not preoccupied with the religion question. I have better things to do.
I don't think so. Enforcing two-factor auth to be allowed to do certain things with an account just makes sense. It's definitely not an attempt to squeeze profit out of users per se, but rather an attempt to limit liability and the risk of costly support problems caused by passwords being compromised.
This isn't true, I think. You can have an instance that federates with nearly everyone but which still has a higher standard for behavior for its own users. This way, users on such an instance can see all the problematic instances but are not permitted to be problematic themselves. It's an option.
(Even still, I think you'd find yourself de-federating from someone eventually for spam or other technical reasons if not due to objections over content.)
You may know this, but Firefox does support multiple profiles. I regularly open it with firefox -p "PROFILENAME" depending on whether I'm working or not. you can go to about:profiles to manage the different profiles.
I don't prefer pickles, and oh look, my penis is huge. Debate settled.
