    I love that Unlock Origin shows “0” instead of “146” blocked domains while scrolling Lemmy as opposed to Reddit

      Mine now has a “2” on lemmy.world due to blocking cloudflareinsights. The cost of DDOS protection I suppose.

        I’ve said about YouTubers if they made their own/joined a Peertube instance. At least I know the money wouldn’t be going to money hungry CEO’s, but directly to running their server or supporting them in SOME significant way

          Isn’t that kind of like what Nebula and Curiosity Stream are?

            I think curiosity stream is a bit different, but nebula and float plane are both creator run and owned and as far as I’m aware both are good to the people making content for them.

    Makes sense. The websites Reddit loves to send traffic to are massive ad farms.

    Similar story for me as well. Using RiF, the built in tracker for my phone dropped immediately after June 30th.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
