That’s a great feature!

Well for ads I use DNS66. It works pretty well and even blocks ads in most apps and games. It basically makes some free apps feel like the premium version

I mean, would there really be a difference in the data they’re collecting on me, assuming that’s your main concern?

I use an android phone which includes: android pay, youtube music/premium, maps and whatnot. Trying to keep my most sensitive data out of their hands honestly seems impossible at this point. I guess I just don’t really see the benefit. That said, blocking ads would of course be significant enough of an issue for me to make a change. But, as of earlier in the week, everything still worked fine (I think)

Really tho, I barely use my PC to browse the web for fun anymore - just the odd gaming sesh and the Plex server for mom. It’s kinda depressing to think about, tbh

I mean, they are different so it is totally possible for someone to like one over the other, and that’s aside from the very simple reason of being used to it and/or not wanting to copy everything over like, passwords, payment methods, bookmarks, extensions (most important reason for me), etc.

I honestly just keep think I’ll eventually switch permanently when Google forces me to. It’s the same reason I’m here; reddit forced my hand. I’m equally waiting for Microsoft to force me to switch to Linux.

Also, typing that out, I do realize this isn’t a great mentality to have (I’m being forced to do x) but maybe that’s just the result of building my castle in foreign kingdoms. It’s basically damage control out here! lol

Noice. I’m sure there’s mirrors up already. Article says it’ll eventually stop working tho. I know I have a few extensions that eventually were disabled daily and I had to enable them each time I started chrome

This might be what makes he leave for Firefox full time. A bummer indeed

Edit: ha, just saw what sub/community this is. I use FF but only for browsing… privately ;]

Wait, so are there other politics instances? There isn’t just the one?

I seem to get subs/instances for other communities that aren’t from lemmy.world but only one politics community.

If there’s another one that’d be great. I just realized the guy I reported is still commenting there while I was banned for 3 days. I kinda don’t really feel like returning there if that’s how they choose to run it.

That was good info! Thanks

Idk, it’s honestly all a bit too confusing. I still don’t get how this place works. I just use sync and even then some servers/instances or whatever will say I can’t vote for certain posts/servers - idk, I’m assuming there’s servers that get turned off at night or something

Have a recommendation? I only joined world because it seemed to have the least requirements for joining and was maybe more popular. I remember other instances requiring you answer a bunch of questions to join or something like that

What are you on?

I just recently got banned (I think, never got a response) from the politics sub for reporting another use that called me retarded. It’s legit confusing. I literally reported them because it seemed out of pocket but apparently I said something offensive as well

I’m about ready to that go back to reddit, just using a web browser on my phone. This is place is asking users for a lot and people still don’t seem to understand what a community is. All the pretty words people used when we migrated over was all BS apparently. It’s weird since people clearly put in work but like, where are the mods/admins leading the community? Idk, maybe this stuff’s just too hard for mostly socially-stunted people to manage (including myself, raised on video games and whatnot)

Excellent meme face

Good one. lol. No u!

I think a lot of it is a result of our capitalistic society squeezing as much as it can from us for profit

My turn!

Self-centered with a superiority complex

Lol. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself, and is based on seeing others as inferior

Shit, I don’t get it!

Story?

Don’t Americans pay way more compared to most other countries because there’s little to no competition and/or price negotiation to reduce the cost of prescription drugs? I thought that was what people were saying, not that they don’t want to pay for healthcare. lol. How intellectually dishonest of you 😂

That’s freakin awesome! I absolutely love that idea/solution. Is it kinda hot in here? Why’m I all moist?

Seriously tho, is there any downside? Also, I’m still not sure I understand the point of running the ad in the first place. Why run a shitty ad that costs you money? Is the idea to get people to follow that other conspiracy site more regularly?
