agreed, super rude also ill finish it as soon as i finish this series.

Finally some gen X representation!

Nah, Facebook and Instagram are the worst. Facebook is some ad riddled, AI slop, filled late stage capitalism hellscape. Worth not using just for mental health.

They can put a robots.txt file in their root structure which can tell robots (AI scrapers) to ignore that website. However that only works on robots which follow that rule, it’s self enforced so it’s a crap shoot of it’ll be followed.

I agree with the healthier environment, it’s kind of nice being able to make a comment and have people actually see it rather than there being 2k+ comments. It’s a small community but I don’t mind that and it’s actually good in that I don’t doom scroll as much cause there just isn’t enough content, so I don’t spend hours on it.

Works fine on mobile Firefox for me
