archive link since the baffler was so fond of telling me I had only 1 free article left, meaning refreshing the tab would most likely lock me out of reading the page
that really is a fucking annoying banner, yeah. also, lifehack: open these fuckers in temp containers or priv sessions of $browserflavour. counter cookies can’t do shit when they always die.
true! I really need to squash the Lemmy bug that kills my session when I switch tab groups on mobile
I’ve been using mlem on iOS as my client, if you want something to try out
I have it installed, but haven’t tried it since our instance launched! I should give it another try soon and see if they’ve implemented the admin frontend yet
Mlem dev here! Admin features aren’t live quite yet, but they should be available as part of an upcoming beta in a couple of weeks or so.
nice, I’ll definitely keep an eye on TestFlight! thanks for all your work on Mlem!
Using Firefox Focus as default mobile browser also handy for this
(sorry, this rant isn’t directed at you, but)

on my workstation I have that + Choosy (there are other-OS alternatives to Choosy as well), and I profile-route things as needed along with fallthroughs into complete memoryholes for things I want as little state as possible on

what in the absolute fuck does that mean
nah actually don’t bother answering
these posters do keep the ban button exercised
the redditor urge to skim the thread title and post the first brain fart that enters their heads meets my urge to mash the ban button until it breaks
it is fucking hilarious that our guest poster’s brain processed this thread title and came up with “yeah man fuck writers” and posted that on this of all instances

And yet you write that here. Checkmate letterhater! Boom! Shapirod!
Lots of writers wish they didn’t have to do anything else lol what are you even talking about
