It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I seriously switched because I was fed up with the choice of messaging. Xnedit isn't great, but it does have a delightfully 1994 aesthetic.
I switched like 7 years ago because their idea of linux support is "just run it in WINE" (and notepadqq is not a great substitute)
fuck that noise
What are you using now? Every few months I go on a binge of trying new text editors and file managers.
two things: I changed my workflow to be less centered around a text editor (I used to use it as a scratchpad for notes on what I worked on each day and for how long, and todo items), and for actual text editing tasks I learned vim and other CLI tools better.
Honestly notepadqq is fine, but my workflow with using it as a scratchpad didn't work because it's auto-save and recovery was not as seamless as np++. If you don't rely on that to the same degree I did and have an unstable, poor battery life laptop, then it is probably fine.
My issue was it only autosaves every x mins and then rather than auto-recovery on startup (aka just picking back up where you left off), you had to click through a "do you want to recover these unsaved files" dialog every time, which for me was 80% of the time when I rebooted my laptop. And there was a very annoying bug where if you had a crash, out of battery, etc. where notepadqq didn't get cleanly shut down multiple sessions in a row, the "do you want to recover" dialogs wouldn't get cleared out each time, they would multiply and pretty soon I was clicking through dozens or more before it would open and then manually saving, closing, and reopening, to clear out the "queue" or whatever or recovery files.
