I meant oppose in the theological sense. Religious extremists are given legitimacy by religious moderates. (I live in a Christian majority region)

I’m not a Catholic, so I don’t consider bad deeds to be ok so ling as you do a few good.

Those layers get in the way of casual browsing. Like you could use a bucket to fill a full size swimming pool, but a hose is better suitrd for the job.

The use case for TOR is illegal activity. Some illegal activity is not immoral, like organising a protest against a dictatorship. But Tor is not a useful tool for simply browsing websites. The inconvenience isn’t worth it when a regular browser fulfills your needs better.

It’s like money laundering. It could be done recreationally, but that’s not the normal use case.

Yeah individually religious people can be fairly benign. The fundamental problem is with religion.

Extremists are able to hide behind the guise of religion because non-extremists enable them. Because the only way for “moderate” religious people to oppose religious extremists is to admit that it’s all metaphorical bullshit.

On the surface level, yeah. But if you dig a bit deeper a religious person upholds the idea that religious belief is reasonable. When people have the opinion that religious belief is reasonable it causes measurable harm to everyone on this planet.

An individual believer cannot be separated from the religion.

If you’re dependent on the drug that’s an addiction. You may feel that your addiction is more justified than others, and that’s ok. Humans have been using drugs for thousands of years both recreationally and medicinally.

When using the API you just request what you’re looking for. With scraping you load everything repeatedly.

They could have even made a profit from third party apps if the pricing wasn’t 100x a reasonable rate.

For Reddit API calls are near infinitely less load on the servers than scraping.

That’s great. Using a mobile browser is a terrible experience. At least it’s functional though.
