I do have an idea how “a difficult to kill, unwanted growth” could be put into relation to a war fueled by hatred.

In LibreTube, you can go to

Settings > Instance > Disable Piped proxy

I only ever had issues with the piped proxy, not with the app itself.

How does GrapheneOS “lack boldly”?

The linux kernel unfortunately does not follow unix philosophy.

It would be better in various ways if the linux kernel used a micro kernel architecture following the unix philosophy, something Torwalds acknowledged in the past.

Philosophical ideas being lost does not mean they’re outdated.

None of them have to.

And that is bad?

No third-party services

Support for alternative routing

Do you see instances who’s main purpose is to represent “people inside the more mainstream American Overton window of mid right to far right” that are even nearly as popular as Hexbear?

If you’re browsing all you frequently see posts from Hexbear users. I’m yet to come across a noticable amount of posts from users from an instance which represent the group you mentioned.

(I couldn’t even name a single instance that fits that description, because if they exist, they’re not nearly as active as Hexbear.)

Toxic people exist on all public instances. But on some they’re more common than on others.

The issue with Hexbear is that their users tend to talk in a very demeaning and insulting manner. About half of the popular posts on Hexbear are about making fun of people or communities. Their political views are less of an issue; it’s more about their toxic behaviour.
