  • Reminder: Reddit has ads

    Jump

  • It reminded me that if you browsed Reddit from Spain many of the ads were literal scams, like the typical fake photo of a celebrity or even the Spanish king recommending you to invest in a very fishy crypto platform.

    Spanish users were complaining and reporting these ads for months but last time I checked these ads were still running.

    The conclusion is that Reddit didn't even check who is running the ads and with what purpose as long as they pay them, and of course they don't give a crap if their users get scammed.

  • In my country, one of the most successful supermarkets is run by a fascist and he uses part of his fortune to finance our local fascist party, which is gaining strength every year by the way. Do we support fascism by buying in that supermarket? What if we suddenly started to boycott the supermarket to hell?

    My point is that they earn profits by using their services and in today's society money is power. And from where the CEO got his power? From the millions of people with the mindset of "if it benefits me I don't care".

  • Of course that's not possible, the issue here is being aware and not caring and in some cases supporting it for convenience and selfishness.

  • That's the logic of as long as it benefits ME I don't care and I support them no matter what they do. This same logic has been applied to all the shitty things done in history like slavery, war and so forth, and the reason the world is the way it is.

  • is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions?

    Jump

  • slrpnk.net doesn't require an email, makes it optional in case you want it for password recovery. And as far as I know it doesn't have the restrictions you mention.

  • Wtf has happened to reddit?

  • Just in case you didn't know this, here is a program that lets you mass edit and delete all your comments on Reddit:

    The free version only edits all your comments with random words, but for me was good enough just to delete my main account asap.

  • For the login issue it is easy to fix, you make an exception in the privacy settings for whatever website you visit.
    It's on Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Manage Exceptions (And make sure you add and Save the Changes).

    It's a bit of nuisance at first to do but you only have to do it once, and this way you also have control which websites install their crap on your browser. For the render issues I don't know, it is not my experience but maybe it is related too to make an exception for these websites.

  • Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives

  • We may have to just accept that it won't ever be a big platform for this very reason and just have fun there as a niche site.

    Reddit vs lemmy

    Jump

  • To be honest what you say is not my experience, what instances have you been browsing? There are a few tankie instances but nobody likes them, if you've been there I understand you.

    I feel the users are very similar to Reddits, probably the 99% of users migrated from there for the reason that reddit sucks significantly much more than before and it is the same reason you are here too.

    We are all defeated by the current events and nobody who isn't braindead wants WW3. Give it time, more users will migrate and with it more diversity. The community is growing so be the change you want to see.

  • Pope Francis' condition remains critical after suffering 'asthmatic respiratory crisis': Vatican

    Jump

  • While I do not disagree with you I think you missed my point. Like it or not, when he dies we will have another Pope, and I can bet money that the church is going to take the opportunity of the current trend to put a Pope that literally does the "Musk salute" and keep pushing their agenda... and like I said millions of people care a lot about what the Pope has to say. The last thing we need right now is a Pope that openly and aggressively supports far right governments in his speech.
