Obsidian backlinks from my daily notes :) Though I use it more often to track my books, as I mostly play endless live service games 😅

I can sort of use my Steam review date stamps too to track what I played, bc I review the vast majority of games I try.

Edit: and in Steam I put the finished/dropped games in their own categories, but my tag setup there is really extensive, so probably not the best example :) (I have at least 5-6 tags on each of my games.)

Actually the observer and explorer links redirect to external sites (fediverse.observer and lemmyverse.net respectively)

It would be odd to single out just the biggest server instead of letting people decide themselves; I have a feeling this exclusion is to do with .world’s users having a beef with the folks running .ml 😅 (and vice verse - join-lemmy.org seems like the official Lemmy site, so ran by the .ml ppl)

complete tangent: I see lemmy.world is listed there, but anyone knows why .world doesn’t appear on join-lemmy.org’s list of servers?

Some users don’t have the time to block, simply conclude “this is a hostile environment” and leave.

This exactly.

As the anecdote puts it, once you start tolerating Nazis in your bar, it becomes a Nazi bar.

They poison the space, and the regular folks leave.

Thanks, actually I was already using it for backing up my Gmail inbox, so now I looked at its search features, and found the Expression (Power) Message/Calendar Search - NG addon that provides Gmail-like filtering :)

thanks, I’ll check them out!

Sounds like it’s an opt in, what am I missing

Because it’s a clear step on the enshittification slide. It’s opt in for now.

Btw (sort of just thinking out loud) could paying for an email domain be a solution? I see many webhosts offering email + domain packages for like 1-3 GBP/month, and we could just download the emails into, say, Thunderbird, so if a company turns shit, we still have the domain and all the emails received/sent over the years.

Do any other email services/clients have a very similar search function? Where I can search for date ranges and email sizes in addition to the more typical operators.

At my workplace I have to deal with Outlook, and it’s a pile of crap in comparison.

Ok this is the first step where I feel an actual urge to look for Gmail alternatives. (Been a Gmail user since like 2007.) I’m a desktop-only Gmail user, but I can see where this is going… :/ Also heavy user of Google Drive and Sheets, so it’s going to be annoying if I have to replace all of them :/

ew wtf, Telegram has been one of the less shittified ones :c
