We just defederate.

Cringe.

Blocked.

Name one that is remotely on par with uBlock and is open source.

Is fox news “social media” though?

What’s wrong with Jerboa? Probably the only app I’d use for Lemmy.

What’s the issue with Jerboa? It’s like Relay it’s probably the best one out there.

Yeh don’t choose that one, just sign up on desktop and use Jerboa ngl the reason techbros win is most normies do not want agency, they want to turn their brain off and scroll whatever the algorithm serves up as they do.

Technology Connections made a good video on this recently but I fear his plea will fall on deaf ears.

Just like this article, no one’s actually denying anyone the fediverse, we are literally right here.

Yes, marketing analytics software dev company I work for paid up. As far as I know so did our competition, the data is simply far too valuable, there’s no substitute there.

Honestly pretty sure not many people used 3rd party apps to begin with so I don’t think it was to do with any of that like the other strangely confident commenters seem to imply.

The blob strikes again

I only browse by subscribed and I have half of Lemmy banned ngl I hate algorithmic feeds and corpo social media in general I don’t use it, I don’t see any ads online ever, and I’m often shocked by their quantity outside, I don’t know how others just do only algorithms like it’s nothing.

Yeah? Which ones am I not? Lol I’m not a shitposter wtf?

I’m only banned from communities to do with queerness, socialism, Europe, news, ADHD and politics. I’m a trans woman from Europe who has ADHD, is a socialist (Anarchist) with an interest in news and politics.

My hobbies also include hacking, planes (simming primarily the A320 and general aviation interest), milsims, trains, AI, philosophy, social sciences, history, paleontology (especially the Cambrian and Devonian), music production (DAWs, plugins, synths, etc.), video making (esp. editing), programming, space (orbital mechanics/astrodynamics and astronomy), Unix/Linux/BSD, SelfHosted/homelab stuff, gaming (inc. the culture), macroeconomics, electronics (as in, breadboard prototyping, IoT with pi/arduino, embedded hacking and physics of electricity), flashlights, manga, TV shows (just finished Generation Kill), Star Trek, drugs (psychs mostly), retro computing (C64 and Amiga) and many more I can’t recall rn and I seek out and subscribe to communities on Lemmy for all of them, plus those with differing opinions politically e.g. neoliberal/neocon, socdem, tankies etc.

Is that really so odd? It’s pretty normal to me. I used Reddit in the same way.

I just don’t have insane hivemind opinions, but relatively reasonable ones and voicing any of that (Ukraine right to self-defense, gender dysphoria is a medical disorder treated by transition - not a choice, AI can be useful etc etc.) seems to be a big no-no on some parts of Lemmy.

Anyway this is all extremely off-topic at this point so I’ll probs delete this thread later but I’m genuinely curious why you’d think I’m a shitposter.
