  • But moderation of centralised social media is usually done by paid workers. Subreddits are not independent forums; Reddit admins interfere all the time, and they’re hosted on Reddit servers so ultimately are at the mercy of Reddit’s decisions.

    I don’t think Wikipedia contributions are comparable to subreddit moderation. Moderation is known for being traumatising work (see: lawsuits from global south workers over PTSD from seeing CSAM, snuff, and other traumatising content when doing underpaid moderation work) and I don’t think there are many moderators who do it for fun. They may do it voluntarily because they like a community or think their subreddit/forum is a valuable resource they want to maintain. But not because the labour of moderation itself is fun. Meanwhile I imagine most Wikipedia contributors do so because they are interested in the topic, and it’s far less likely to expose editors to traumatising content.






  • People go out of their way to freeze tofu because it makes it firmer. I have never done it myself because I don’t like too-firm tofu. So if you like extra firm tofu, it might be a good choice for you.

    Tofu generally keeps a really long time if you keep unopened though. Like the tofu I buy is dated over a month from the date of purchase. So I don’t think freezing for preservation is necessary unless we’re talking, like, buying a year’s supply at a time, and there definitely wouldn’t be enough room in my freezer for the amount of tofu I eat in a year lol.



  • Women are made to suppress their natural features so much to the extent that transphobic men think features that are naturally common on cis women are a sign of being trans. I (cis woman) have a moustache, all of the cis women in my family have visible facial hair, and it’s quite common for women, especially non-white women, to have some amount of dark facial hair. But we’re expected to wax it or shave it or laser it off, so people think facial hair on cis women is unheard of. There’s a huge range of natural diversity that just gets suppressed.









  • For effort: not exactly low effort but you can front-load all the effort by spending a couple hours cooking loads of food (I use a 5L Dutch oven for making pasta sauces, curries, soups, stews, etc). Freeze individual portions. Now you can just take out a portion and thaw it when you want to eat. All the aforementioned foods thaw on the stovetop on low heat so you don’t need the foresight to thaw overnight either. I do like to spend a couple hours making the curry/soup/etc to a good quality, but once you’ve invested that time, you’ve got a good-quality curry/soup/stew/sauce to go with zero effort. Takes time to thaw but you can just stick it into a saucepan on low heat and walk away, do something else, come back and enjoy. If it’s on low heat then you don’t need to worry about leaving it too long unless you’re gone for hours then it might have evaporated too much liquid.

    For financial (and somewhat effort) struggle: rice cooker and use lots of rice to bulk out a meal. You can stretch out protein sources, veggies, sauces, curries, etc just by having a high rice ratio on your plate. Even paired with slightly more expensive proteins, bulking out with rice means you can stretch e.g. a duck over many meals to amortise the higher cost. Also rice and beans is a classic poverty food and you can pimp it up a lot with spices and hot sauce—again, the cost of spices and hot sauce gets amortised over many meals so is not that expensive per meal. I buy the big bags of spices as they are cheaper per kg than the little bottles you get at the supermarket.





  • I host a Nextcloud instance. Tbh Nextcloud runs like crap but it works fine for my one-user use case. As someone else under this post says, it tries to do everything and does everything badly. I would’ve probably chosen something more lightweight and written in something other than PHP if I were doing my self-hosting setup from scratch. But you can always self-host; if privacy and digital sovereignty is your concern, you can’t beat self-hosting.
