I personally blocked it because I want to talk to everyone on lemmy

Genius

Where exactly was the good idea?

easier to have posts be given tags

If this is not being done automatically by the server by analysing the content, people will not use tags, or use irrelevant tags, or fill it with tens of tags like Instagram’s early days or whatever else I cannot think of now. But I think it is not easy to work as intended

Awesome, now you get only subconscious messages flashed in your eyes.

What else are people going to do to avoid installing Firefox?

I suppose it depends on your system’s abilities, but my guess would had been that you get all frames but for shorter period of time

If YouTube operates at a loss and they decide to ditch their service its their problem, not mine. I’m not here to save google

Well actually they can do much more, like for example decreasing quality to lets say 144p

I’m not saying that adblockers will not be able to bypass it, maybe there will be a solution as well, but wanted to say that the blank screen waiting is not their only weapon

How else will the AI be able to recognize that such text is “bad”?

Nah, most probably this IP, since it is close to yours, was also assigned to you at some point in time, while downloading or seeding said torrent

The “which instance to join” thing is the worst for me. People here are claiming at the same time that “it doesn’t matter because fediverse” and “it does matter because you need to find one that you agree with their stance/philosophy/admin-decisions”.

I was thinking that for this to work, each instance should had a mandatory landing page with the “about us”, but this is not a solution either. How do you know that the instance has competent sysadmins? I’ve seen instances with exposed logs with IPs, private info etc. Its impossible to know and its literally roulette.

I have ended up having a different account in different intsance in each of my devices, which I actually enjoy tbh but claiming “just sign up” is bullshit. I may even sign up in one that the admin decides to shut down tomorrow. If I don’t know the risks of randomly selecting an instance it is almost certain that something will happen that will piss me off.
