And tipping culture has creeped in both magnitude (i.e. 15% used to be standard, but now it’s the low end) and scope (e.g. tips prompts at fucking fast food places)

Will using the browser version with the usual array of ad-blocks help?
One of the interesting features about Matrix is that it supports some degree of interoperability. The Beeper phone app, for all the fuss about its ill-fated attempts to bridge to iMessage, can connect to Discord for basic no-frills text chat.
I refuse to install Discord on my phone but use Beeper for DMs and group texting.
I am a big fan of Matrix and glad to see it getting some attention in this post. But it is definitely a bit rougher around the edges and esoteric compared to Discord. For more technically-inclined people, it’s fine. But it’s a bit much for some people.
I’m no fan of Apple (and don’t want to divert discussion here), but part of their winning formula is ease of use.
I frequently use Jitsi w/screensharing. Been using it for quite a while this way with good results.
Mid-sized stand-alone city. Think 50-200K people.
If I explicitly have to choose between big city or small town, then it comes down to employment options. If that is a non-factor (e.g. remote work) then small town.
For those saying culture or whatever, I’m ok with commuting to a big city once a month or whatever for that stuff. I don’t need cultural attractions for my day-to-day life.
An obvious chipping away at old reddit. They are trying to get rid of it altogether.
I consider their new format to be unusable.
I don’t think I’ve seen one at the top…
I’d say bottom because I’d rather not have the cord coming towards me, rather than away, when I’m using the phone. Also it seems more ergonomic for me to put my phone in my pocket with the top pointed down rather than up.
