So, I am one of those old school types who mains with Firefox and Noscript. And also a filthy casual that just goes on lemmy.world. But half the images are broken because I’m expected to allow scripts on like 30+ sites to see most of the posts. I’m literally expected to allow /all/ the scripts from a domain just so I can see a dang picture behind the thumbnail. That’s the entirety of the scripting needed. That seems ridiculous. Is there, I don’t know, a server/way that makes it so I don’t have to blanket allow all these scripts? To put it in meme form (not sure I’m doing it right, never seen the show): “It’s an image of a banana Michael, what should it take, one Raspberry Pi running Docker?”

Just curious, what’s the 5% that doesn’t work with JS disabled?
Voting, lol. Kinda important.
Dropdown menus. They’re not really needed but life sucks without them.
Can’t manually switch between dark and light mode (only automatically based on browser settings).
There’s probably more but I haven’t seriously tried to use PieFed for long without JS. Fundamentally it’s built HTML and CSS first, with sprinkles of JS added on for funsies rather than the modern way of being all about JS.
