I've used reddit.com before but I never made many posts or comments and I haven't used it in years. I'm pretty sure there was a period where I visited it regularly though.

I don't think I've ever posted anything with facebook.com or twitter.com either. I never browsed them for fun, and if I want to coordinate with someone in my family I just contact them directly. I do use youtube.com a lot though.

I tried using pleroma but I haven't used that in a while either. I prefer lemmy much more (probably because posts being different from comments provides more structure).

Programs that do multiple things are not simple, so successfully using or understanding what they do is less likely to be possible for you. I expect that wanting to avoid interacting with many programs will lead a person to use programs that are nonfree more often than they otherwise would, so it would be more likely that a program controls the users.

I can list some alternatives to Discord that you probably don't know, and requirements for an alternative to Discord: https://degooglisons-internet.org/ https://framasoft.org/en/manifest https://www.privacyguides.org/en/real-time-communication/ https://www.privacyguides.org/en/real-time-communication/#criteria

It doesn't matter if anything is behind you or not: any other road users would also be obligated to give up their right of way (by stopping) if you chose to stop, if doing so would help prevent collisions.

I care about many things related to encrypted real-time communication, including what security engineers recommend (since their judgements probably incorporate things I probably don't even know about or understand), so I don't think XMPP is the best option for me.

It's probably best if a driver yields to a flying saucer.

Give up your right-of-way when it will help prevent collisions.

When entering traffic, you must proceed with caution and yield to the traffic already occupying the lanes.

I didn't know there was a way to get a subscription that lasts 2 years! I see I can access that by clicking "Edit billing cycle" at https://account.proton.me/u/0/mail/dashboard

I'll definitely check that out when there aren't many remaining days for my current subscription.

I got a subscription last year and I don't have a memory of seeing an advertisement at https://mail.proton.me/u/0/inbox after that, and I didn't see one just now when I checked.

If you want to use an email service without seeing advertisements, maybe you should pay for a subscription starting from https://proton.me/pricing or https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/ or maybe instead you should consider something like https://www.lifewire.com/best-free-email-accounts-1356641

The discussion is probably about https://lemmy.world/u/FlyingSquid

I see "50.7K Comments" and "Joined 1 year ago" at https://sh.itjust.works/u/[email protected] and 50.7*1000/(8760 hours) = 5.78767 posts per hour

Did something supercede Socialism in Russia around the years 1988 to 1991?

This might be relevant:

Conditions here were deplorable by any objective measure. And if you'll recall, one of the hallmarks of early Russian industrialization was: the workforce was often transient. People moved back and forth between their home villages and jobs in the cities, and this flux meant that the places people lived and where they ate and bathed and got medical attention were only ever temporary expedients. It was a bit like you were going off to some particularly crappy summer camp. It was only meant to be temporarily endured, not lived in full time, and so conditions just never got better. People were not just renting rooms; they were renting corners of rooms. You could rent not just a bed, but part of a bed. Sanitation was, of course, practically non-existent, and the food was disgusting. The work itself, meanwhile, was long and grueling. There were no safety standards in the factories. There were hardly any rights for anybody at all. And pay was literally inadequate. The ministry of finance itself surveyed conditions and concluded that a family of four needed about fifty rubles a month to purchase basic necessities (that is, food and shelter and heat) and then they found that 75% of the workers were making less than 30 rubles a month. The economic and moral math was just not adding up.

The lower skilled, less educated, and still mentally "peasant" workers tended to remain culturally conservative. They were orthodox christian and believed strongly in the divine benevolence of the czar. And indeed one of the things reported by both social democrats and SRs back to their respective central committees was that they struggled to recruit among these workers because they were out there pitching "overthrowing the czar" and everyone was like "What? We... we love the czar, and he loves us too!"

To them, the czar was not a villain, but a hero. Not the devil, but their savior. It understandably made recruiting for a political revolution to overthrow their "hero and savior" very difficult.
