Re: downvoting; I think it’s just knee jerk reaction to any suggestion Facebook can do anything good. I have the same reaction but, like you, there’s a specific group I belong to that doesn’t exist elsewhere and it’s one of the few groups that isn’t toxic or hysterical.

F* no.

Some (all?) of the apps just wrap the FB website so they can’t really tell what’s happening to block it or could do so without hitting a bunch of innocents.

Addling a vote for Fastmail. It’s great, priced right, privacy centric, has wicked 1Passwold integration (including disposable email addresses) and nerdy features for those who want them.

Personally I use Hey but that’s because imma snob.

Thank you, I did not know that.

Do you have to block communities? I thought you could just not join them to avoid their content.

It’s a very generational question. Like, many of the cartoons I watched as a kid would definitely be considered crazy today (and racist, misogynistic, murderous, etc.) but at the time were typical.

In my experience, the “entire planet” isn’t capable of uniting on anything.

45 minutes? How many M&Ms were there? 🤨

I use Thunder on iOS and it says it’s available for Android too. It has filters and I have them set to exclude just about any word I can think of that has to do with US politics. I haven’t seen a post about that yet so I assume it’s working.
