Just a brief skim of this and I’m already so lost lol. Thanks for the link though, I’ll have a more detailed read through later.

Hi, I’m john, I use brave. I’m a socialist and I fight for lgbtq and workers rights. I fight against the fascist regime.

Now you’ve met somebody personally who isn’t maga and racist who uses brave.

“you support fascism if you use brave” … Omg come on. This is really ridiculous. I’m a communist and active member in a socialist org. I’ve been in the face of proud boys, I’ve fought with ICE, I’ve marched with strikers… Telling people they support fascism through browser choice is fucking nuts. Everything you do supports the fascist system unless you live off grid in the woods.

There is no ethical consumption under a capitalist system. Do I like the guy? Fuck no. But I like brave search. I liked BAT when it was released; it was an interesting idea on supporting creators that ultimately flopped. I like the ad block. I also use firefox with ad block. I’m capable of both. I’m browsing the web for lifting videos, not planning the revolution.

All browsers suck. I’ve tried them all over the past 30 years. Show me a browser that doesn’t suck and I’ll change, I haven’t seen it. This shaming of people is really getting fucking ridiculous. It’s the most milquetoast lib purity test I’ve seen.

Man, I’m pretty techy. I work in tech. I’ve learned programming, etc, I use Debian. but selfhosting seems so daunting, not to mention inconvenient. I need to get into it though 😓
