You can block ads on the site but not in the app.
And all that pesky telemetry
I mean, fuck Reddit. Why else would I be here
Yeah. Re blocking mobile site was the last straw for me. Not opening reddit in mobile anymore.
Before I got banned, I was mostly there for the porn.
So what you’re saying is we should expect a new influx of users soon?
The overlay could be removed with an ad blocker, or they could switch to Desktop View, or they could switch to Old Reddit.
Even better, they could switch to the Threadiverse and not need to deal with a company progressively tightening the belt on user freedom for profit maximization.
I tried to remove it with uBO and it still wouldn’t let me scroll no matter how much I zapped
Why not simply repost all the content to lemmy and slam the door on reddit
Reposting Reddit content in bulk to Lemmy (versus individual users reposting their own guides or informational posts) does nothing to organically build communities here, instead leaving a bunch of empty posts that make their communities look dead. It’s a chicken and egg problem, of course, but simply copying Reddit content wholesale isn’t the answer.
Edit: Just want to clarify that I’m not doing any downvotes here, and see the logic in that having the best of the best Reddit content here could help convince some people to look at otherwise dead communities. The problem is that relying on such content encourages Lemmy users to be consumers of content rather than producers in their own right, and therefore think that maximizing opportunities for Lemmy users to contribute in their own right is for the best.
I respectfully disagree. Just limit number of reposts to the most quality upvoted reddit content timely reposted - and you have no problem. Right now I can refresh lemmy 5 times during the day and see the same content
Blocking a few many posters does indeed create this effect , feels great .
Someone had a Lemmy instance that did this for quite a while. It’s gone now unfortunately.
There’s many bots doing that for some subs…
And there should be way more. Why people going back to reddit otherwise.
Lemmy will never betray you like this
Reddit, the front door of the Internet, slammed in your face, because fuck you, that’s why
Surprised it took them this long.
Next will app only on mobile or, as with Xitter, only allow logged out users to see the OP but none of the comments. Or both!
Won’t it be fun waiting to see how and when they do it? 😒
