FYI for anyone not in the know, this is the Good Good Good Newspaper advertised by Hank Green
It only consists of "good" news and is very uplifting - generally every print edition features some kind of theme like "animals" or "medicine" or "art"
If you can afford to support, I think it's a great way to encourage more uplifting news in our world

Well, that turned sour quickly.
If you click "newsletter" it's just text about it, no link or anything to sign up on that page. So you click "subscribe" in the menu and it says "digital - free" but when you make and account it then tells you only the first one is free, after that it's $5 a month, and they need your payment information to even get the free one. I understand they need to make money, but don't lie and say something is free when it isn't. There was absolutely nothing saying it isn't free before you make your account and it sends you directly to add payment info. Not good, left immediately and won't be back.
Edit: I tried it in another browser and now see small grey text saying it's $5 a month below the big "Digital - Free". That feels consciously designed to make you miss it.
Personally I give them credit for not (as far as I can tell) having articles behind a paywall, and having a working rss feed, though dark patterns are always a minus
Just subscribe and signed up to get physical copies too. This is what I need in my life.
Edit: Removing double-post
Hank Green is cool but my favourite has always been his cousin Tom. He helped the save the lonely Swedish after all
Good news is relative.
Some people think Trump winning was good news.
So, good news is relative. I’m not making any comment about my personal views—which is probably not what you think based on your uncivil reply.
What’s even better news is that I have no idea what a “tag” is, and I use Voyager as my Lemmy client which allows me to hide the voting system entirely—so I don’t ever see what anyone thinks.
Not the other dude and only weighing in on Voyager.
You can tag users so a little badge shows up next their name whenever you see them. So you could tag this guy “uncivil” if you wanted to be reminded who they are.
To do this you can click my username, then click the ellipsis (…) in the top right and finally edit tag.
Interested in learning where the setting is to hide votes as that seems interesting to not be swayed subconsciously.
Example below.
Oh hey this works on Boost too and I had never heard of the feature until now. Thanks, kind stranger!
Oh that’s a handy feature.
The Hide Votes option is in Settings, Appearance, scroll to the bottom “Other” Category.
It’s a great feature. On Reddit there was always that horde mentality when it came to downvoting. Now I can’t see anyone else’s opinion.
Thanks dude.
Hey there, quick question about that (bear with me English isn’t my native language).
I tried to do what you said but unfortunately didn’t work (on both Mlem and Voyager). So what I did was;
Could you tell me what I’m doing wrong?
EDIT: For the ones on Voyager and had the same issue as me;
Ah my bad. I forgot you had to enable them first. It’s been a while.
