> ‘I had said “no” to this man,’ Grover explains, ‘because I wanted to maintain my boundaries.’ Now he is taking her to court in an attempt to make it illegal for women to even have boundaries. Grover tells me that it was terrifying at first, being called a bigot and transphobe, when she had always tried to be a good person, ‘But now, it’s water off a duck’s back.’

Want YouTube links automatically redirected to a random invidious instance? It is trivial to write a URL rewrite function in emacs and have it transform all links you click before they are opened in a browser, and the function can be as expressive as you want. In Firefox? You need a fully fledged web extension, signed by mozilla, with limited functionalities. And if you write one yourself, any iteration big or small requires a new Mozilla sign to work properly across browsing sessions.
As much as I like the fediverse, the web clients of mastodon/lemmy/peertube/etc. are simply too reliant on javascript, which is why I generally use non-web clients. Twitter/Reddit/Youtube all have/had unofficial lightweight web clients that work(ed) without javascript, which is something I miss in the fediverse.
