Mostly the hookers.
My front page is just flooded with porn. I want the option to view NSFW subs, but not have them shoved in my goddamn face.

I love that there’s a tiger there purely for intimidation tactics.

I like Doctor Who’s view on humans. We’re really nothing special, compared to other species out there. The Doctor just hangs around them because “I just think they’re neat!”
No shoes,
No shirt,
No Jews,
Ya didn’t hear that,
It’s a classic Turkish move for undercover police to offer membership into the Pen 15 Club, then arrest them when they accept.
Let me grab a shovel for you so you can dig yourself deeper.
Nature doesn’t do shit this funny.
Each fiscal quarter, companies want to make more and more profit. If they aren’t making more profit, they see it as a failure.
Eventually, a point is reached where you can’t raise the price of your product or service any more without people leaving. You’re draining your customers for everything they have, but you’re still just barely beating out last quarter’s profits.
So in desparation, you need to do whatever you can to see profits this quarter. Drop that feature, fire this team, and you’ve just barely beat last quarter. Phew.
But now we have this quarter to worry about, and we’ve burned a bit of goodwill with our consumers by removing that feature, and we’re short-staffed because we laid off all these people.
And the cycle repeats, trading in long term longevity for short-term profits.
From the very start, ever subreddit should have challenged Reddit and called their bluff. Go ahead, replace the mods for thousands of subreddits. If a few dozen are changed, that’s no problem. Whatever. But thousands? Good luck.
The whole protest seemed so half-hearted from the start. You don’t go on strike with a set end-date in mind. You go on strike indefinitely until demands are met or a satisfactory compromise is made.
Ah, hm. Well, I don’t have a Pixel, soooo…shit, lmao.
Sounds great, especially since it’s Android-compatible. I’d have to jailbreak my phone, though, right? Always been worried to do that, myself, because I don’t want to break my phone or get cut off by my service provider.
I might look into it on my Retroid Pocket 2+, though!
Ahhh, now it makes sense, thank you! So…do we panic because Zillaberg is making a federated Twitter sequel, or…?
Ahh, so if I’m on Site A, I can view and comment on things from Site B, so long as A and B are federated with one another. The worry then is basically seeing and dealing with Meta’s bullshit here, and them more or less taking over through EEE tactics. That makes sense now.
Lemmy communities aren’t federated with Meta threads by default, right? It’s opt in. So just…don’t federate with .meta or whatever they’ll use? Apart from “don’t affiliate with The Zuckerbot”, I’m still not sure what the worry is all about.
Alright, that kind of answers the “how do I block Meta bullshit?” question, but what does that mean for Lemmy? Lemmy is an entirely different site from Facebook or Threads or whatever. Or is Lemmy more like a browser to view anyone’s federated community? Then I’d get the EEE thing everyone’s talking about. You usually see your communities on Site A, but Site B offers what Site A has, but also free beer! People migrate to Site B, Site B slowly introduces ads, poisons the beer, kills your cat, and steals your wife, but Site A is a shell of it’s former self and dies out, so…you can’t unfuck what’s been fucked.
You say that like it’s a bad thing. 😏
I’m brand new to Lemmy (guess why, lol) and federated systems in general. How do I block all things Meta? And what does that even mean for Lemmy, where it’s an entirely different site from Facebook?
