An incomplete list of reasons I block accounts:

  • Ranting about journalism rather than discussing the actual news.
  • Whining about paywalls rather than just circumventing them yourself. It’s 2024 you should know how to use an archival site by now. Don’t expect everyone to everything for you.

  • That sucks. I worked with a few when I was younger and knew a couple others in high school too, and my experience was the opposite. They weren’t exactly Rhodes scholars lol, but they were open-minded, kind, and dependable colleagues. Juggalos have a reputation for being trashy, and it’s something they proudly embrace, but I’ve found them to be generally harmless. Unfortuantely, I think just about every fan base these days has to deal with its share of racist Trump supporters who steal scrap metal from construction sites for meth money…

    Yeah… People just need to start slurping down gruel for every meal and be happy about it. How dare someone complain about grocery store prices when I know for a fact they splurged on a bag of name brand potato chips last week! The poors are not just entitled but completely irresponsible. Don’t they realize simple luxuries like snacks are for rich people?

    The in-universe explanation is that his surname is Kravinoff and it was anglicized to Kraven when his family was exiled from Russia. The real world explanation is the character was inspired by General Zaroff from The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell and he was a super lame Spider-Man villain for 20+ years until Kraven’s Last Hunt in 1987. So it’s best not to put too much thought into the name beyond accepting that it’s intentionally oxymoronic - it wasn’t supposed to be a flattering depiction of big game hunters.









  • I use Alexandrite on desktop but I’m excited about Lemmy-UI-Next which (IIRC) is being developed by one of admins of lemm.ee. It looks very promising.

    For mobile I’m using Voyager (this account is actually on the instance for supporters.) I’ve tried everything available for iOS but Voyager is my daily driver, nothing else comes close to ticking as many boxes as Voyager does for me. I have Apollo sideloaded on my phone and it’s incredible how much progress Voyager has made toward replicating the experience which is exactly what I want in a mobile app for Lemmy. The only thing it’s missing is my favorite Apollo theme (Outrun).
