Gotta justify that printer ink budget.

“The game allows me to do this, that means I’m not an asshole for doing this!” - Every griefer ever.

90% of the time it’s bigots who are upset that they’re getting deplatformed. The other 10% of the time it’s the incredibly idealistic or naive. Either way it’s a crap argument. You are under no obligation to endure verbal diarrhea, nor is it your responsibility to change the minds of the people spewing it. They shit the bed, they can lie in it.

Lemmy.ml has several solid communities, including the largest AskLemmy community. Their top 20 largest communities are all pretty mainstream and don’t really see the kind of posts/comments that make people wary of Lemmygrad or Hexbear.

I don’t think there is one for Samsung TVs unfortunately. I only did it for my Android TV. All I did was install SmartTubeNext and that’s it.

Generally I find my Samsung TV pretty insufficient on its own. I keep a Chromecast plugged into it, but a lot of people recommend Android/Google TV boxes since you can use them for casting and installing sideloaded ad-free apps, or even replace the launcher entirely. Walmart’s $20 Onn brand Google TV box gets recommended a lot.

Especially when it’s the same ad repeated over and over. You know what drove me to finally sideloading an adblocked YouTube app onto my TV? Getting interrupted every 2-3 minutes for the same Coors ad repeated at least once.

Yarr harr fiddle-dee-dee!

There’s only one price I’m willing to pay for content with ads, and that’s zero.

Kbin is a combined implementation of Lemmy and Mastodon that works with both. You can view and post to Lemmy instances via Kbin and vice versa. That said, much like Lemmy it’s still being developed, so there are still bugs and inconsistencies that sometimes cause Kbin and Lemmy/Mastodon to not quite communicate with each other properly.

The one thing I’ve noticed is that Kbin’s federation with blahaj specifically is a bit lagged. Posts only show up after a pretty significant delay, usually about an hour. Also I’ve yet to be able to successfully make a top-level image post from Kbin to any other instance, so that’s annoying.
