Why on earth would I want to shop somewhere that I can guarantee will ship with FedEx? I’ll actively avoid places that only offer FedEx shipping as it is.

So does Qbittorrent, if you’re unaware.
Maybe users wouldn’t have felt the need for adblockers if ad agencies hadn’t made them increasingly obnoxious, intrusive and pernicious. They just couldn’t leave a fraction of a penny on the table and made sites more and more unusable without adblockers, so screw 'em. They can reap what they’ve sown.
Yeah, for definitions of “hard left” that don’t include a penchant for rugged individualism, a nearly pathological hatred of taxes and libertarianism, a lot of reddit is just liberal on social issues, at best. There is still a strong libertarian current of thought that is quite opposed to anything that could remotely be accused of being socialist and leans hard into tech utopianism saving us from the predictable outcomes of our current course of actions. There are also sizeable populist and conservative communities there. Sure, you have politically oriented subs that explicitly adopt leftist positions, but you could point to plenty on the right as well.
I guess just how for certain conservatives in the US, anyone to the left of Reagan is probably the love child of Stalin and Satan himself, it seems like calling any place that doesn’t actively purge and issue an apology repudiating any leftist view that slips through is liable to be declared a haven of leftists.
I’ve had bad experiences with all of them, it’s just the most consistent with FedEx. Out of the major services, I prefer USPS and DHL, by far, but even they still fumble things from time to time. FedEx has just been a consistent pain to deal with, across 3 addresses at this point. Plus, I happen to get off work and get home right around when FedEx comes through my neighborhood, so I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the lady that handles this area literally hurl every package small enough for her to be physically capable of doing so the 8 feet from the sidewalk to peoples’ front porches. I buy a lot of small, delicate things. Do other couriers toss stuff around? Probably at some point. But I know it’s a 100% guarantee it’ll happen with this lady, so I’ll take the “probably, at some point,” over a sure thing.
If they don’t deliver something to me and determine I need to go pick it up, their delivery hubs are also the least convenient to reach. One is across my county, the other halfway across the neighboring county, Both are at least 90 minute trips each way on public transportation, with a healthy walk between the last stop and their location. At least UPS drops things off a 15 minute walk away, and the post office is probably a 10 minute walk.
