I agree, a more polished look would definitely help. I can't browse reddit's new site, not sure how people navigate that mess. Old reddit is where it's at.

I need to put more into the dev site before pushing in major updates to this instance. There are a lot of little features that people want that would make the site better it's just a matter of figuring it out myself or trying to find trustworthy people who are more capable and able to assist.

A more "old reddit" look with RES features like post / image preview from the index of forums (though, JS required) would be a huge upgrade.

Actually, e-mail verification is fine for me, as long as it will let me use aliases, like those Riseup has. But yes, I do hate CRAPTCHAs, especially the Goolag one. Sure, I can use Buster (https://github.com/dessant/buster, clear net only), but it doesn't really help when you're continuously using a service that requires it because you're still supporting the cancer.

He'll still get the black vote by a wide margin, so it's hard to give a shit. Biden could put on blackface and reenact Song of the South on the White House front lawn and still lock that demographic. Nothing will make them not vote Democrat.

email verify is out too, just let users register with username and password, and they have to complete non js 8 or more character image captcha. how hard is it to store usernames and passwords in db, prune old/unused accounts that haven't logged in for a while. no log vpn.

I mean trust in the sense that it won't fuck you over in the near future. I've also continued using FF 3.6 and later FF 38 for years without experiencing any trouble. The only trouble I ever experienced with FF was related to upgrading it. And this happens basically with every other update.

It's hard to trust software that updates every two weeks, so even if you wanted to poke at the source code to make sure nothing nasty slipped in, nobody would even have the resources to do so.

Cats. Dogs are too needy for an introvert. Having to take them out for crapping, walks, and so on is a pain in the arse. The obsession with picking fights with other dogs when outside. If you leave them behind to get groceries, many go crazy, howl, and tear the place up. There is the doggy stink that requires baths, and the contest of wills to give them a bath. The fleas. The drinking out of the toilet, then wanting to lick your face. Dogs are too much like a high-maintenance gal...it's always doubtful you are actually getting as much as you're giving.

Guess it depends on how you define 'trust'. If you mean browsers that will not function as spyware for the developer, then my shortlist (in order of preference) is: Iridium, TOR browser, Epic, Ungoogled Chrome, Superbird, Advanced Chrome, Comodo Dragon, Basilisk, Waterfox, and Slimjet.

If you define 'trust' as being the latest'n'greatest and most updated, I couldn't tell ya, as I don't follow that hogwash. For the last 3+ years I been using XP Pro, which means I'm stuck using Mypal, Centaury and Firefox 52.9.0. Despite using outdated OS and browsers, I've had zero malware after 5000+ hours of internet surfing...unless you count 3 or 4 PUPs. Needless to say, I'm not a believer in this EOL/EOS and most current browser rot. In my experience security does not come from this blather.
