Guys, its my turn to post this tomorrow!
For real, It’s either that one or “women of reddit, what do you find attractive on males?”
🤢
The newest update for Jerboa cleaned it up so nicely and fixed all the little issues I’d been having with it over the past month. So happy to have made the switch when I did. It feels so much more complete now!
Found this cute little mammal with my nick name in its name a couple years ago, now it’s an App. I’m in!
I had no idea it was even an animal! That critter looks wicked, especially those teeth
what a piece of shit. meanwhile apps like Memmy and wefwef are miles ahead with a clean interface in just such a short amount of time.
I just realized I’m taking my ad-free experience in Lemmy for granted. It’s refreshing to have a little corner of the internet that doesn’t slam you with advertising.
Uh oh! You’ve reached your daily limit of free Lemmy™ posts. Please tap here to spend 45 Lembux™ and refresh your post allowance.
Can I pay with runescape gp?
Only if you promise to be my gf
Oh boy, I haven’t been anyone’s gf in a long time
Here some more LemBux™
My ublock origin icon has been at a steady 0 ads blocked in my entire time browsing Lemmy. It feels weird.
On several sites that counter climbs like crazy. I’m watching a YouTube video right now that’s only 12 minutes long. The uBlock counter just hit 60.
I have a youtube tab open, it’s currently at 498 blocks. After writing that, 503.
I haven’t had this page up very long today, but apparently YouTube is on an advertising roll at the moment.
Added bonus: I’m one of the three people in the world who pays for YouTube premium… so the quantity of ads should be much lower.
Oh hey, I’m one of the other two, lol. I think they probably lose money on us at this point, with the amount of ads they serve.
Then you wonder why those sites are so slow sometimes…
Soon, when things go smoother, I absolutely wouldn’t mind either having ads or paying a low annual fee.
The problem with Reddit was seeking out vulture capital. Turning a small profit, enough to pay people something resembling wages, isn’t a bad thing.
I think the option for both would be acceptable, I’d be ok to pay a few bucks to maintain an ad free haven.
The start of ads seems to always lead to a path of enshitification. One of the reasons I really like jellyfin is because they realized this and intentionally disabled recurrent donations. They saw what it does to Plex and saw the eventually the leadership’s will try to sell out and sell the company or IPO.
Jellyfin saw the way every service seemed to go once the revenue picked up and decided they want to prevent that.
plenty of instances including mine and some massive ones like lemmy.world are fully funded by donations.There’s absolutely no need for ads
Using lemmy is well worth the $5 per month I give them.
Wikipedia is funded via donations, de-centralized social media could be too
Maybe. But I think Wikipedia is easier to run than Reddit, even if it’s only partial Reddit.
Support your fediverse instance if you can, many servers accept donations.
If you’re on android, you should try blockada, I don’t have ads whatsoever
or just NextDNS which doesn’t even require anything to be installed
For those who don’t know: DNS blockers can be sketchy unless you’re hosting it yourself. Something like a pihole that you set up would be fine, but external DNS services are almost guaranteed to be data-mining you even worse than the ads and trackers they’re blocking.
It’s a little like free VPNs. The reputable ones cost money, because if you’re not the customer then you’re the product.
that is fair, but your ISP is logging the DNS requests anyway, and NextDNS allows you to turn off logging.
Edit: I also don’t see how it’s worse than ads and trackers, they can only see the domain names of the sites you visit.
Redeem cash prizes! And pay for Reddit’s luxury priced API!

Right there next to ya, if anything I spend a bit more time on Lemmy, especially commenting. Feels considerably more cozy, and welcoming here then reddit has for the last few years.
Am also considerably happier, didnt realize just how much stuff on Reddit was there to try to egg you on and antagonize its users.
There’s a bit of app in your ads.
Sorry about that, added to backlog
Wow, I didn’t even notice that.
Hold on. CASH PRIZES? why wasn’t I told!
Don’t post ads on lemmy! Giving them free exposure!
Do they have Farm with Friends? It’s the game that was on Facebook where I could farm while waiting for my friends to post updates. Maybe they could add a way to use karma to speed up the upgrade clock so I can cache in on my posts and comments.
Well that’s horrible.
What a garbage C-team Reddit has, such a shame
i miss sync for reddit, I don’t miss reddit
Yeah, same. Never saw mess like this on Sync.
in case you didn’t know, sync for Lemmy is coming soon
Thanks for taking one for the team!
