  • To be blunt, lemmy.world has always seemed to emulate reddit too much for my comfort, even in vetting registrations. 9/10 of the bad enlightened centrist takes I've seen here have come from lemmy.world users who are clearly reddit transplants.

  • Could it possibly be the country you're connecting to via your VPN?

  • I'm on the Fennec fork of Firefox, but yeah. It should be the same.

  • I'm not sure why I'm so invested in this because I never even visit Instagram lol

    I've triple-checked now that all my annoyance lists are updated, and I still get the popover unless I enable the custom filter I just created. Weird.

    Also, I noticed you said you're using a VPN. I had to disable my VPN, or the page wouldn't load at all.

  • Oh, just copy/paste the text, sorry. Lemmy auto-generated the hotlinks.

    The date is today's date because that's the date I created the filter. I think you can put whatever text you want in that line to help you remember what the filter is for.

  • It's odd that it didn't work for me. I had to create my own filter to remove the overlay.

    I did update all my lists first, too.

  • I just tried it because I was curious, and it doesn't work for me either. Once I scroll down even a little bit, the popup appears with all annoyances checked and updated in uBO.

  • Gotcha, that makes sense. Well, I appreciate the update. I'm going to be able to read things I've never been able to read before, so thanks.

  • It's great! I can zoom in enough to read the text I couldn't read yesterday! I'll mark this as solved. Looks like F-Droid doesn't always push the latest updates through in a timely fashion.

    On a side note, is there a reason to impose a zoom limit at all? I've noticed this in other Android apps as well, and it's always frustrating. (I'm not a programmer, so sorry if this is a dumb question.)

  • Oh, really? I'm on 0.0.42, so I'll upgrade and see.

  • Hmmm I'm not sure I agree. As a gay man living in South Dakota, I've found my online communities to be far less problematic and far more helpful than those I interact with in real life on a regular basis, and I'd include my experiences with credentialed therapists and addiction recovery groups in that assessment.

  • I agree that this is much of the problem. Capitalism is designed to break anyone who's not part of the bourgeoisie.

    But without going into detail (because things took a bad turn last time I did here), I've got some exacerbating circumstances beyond that (which admittedly is still related to capitalism since all help is behind some pretty high paywalls).

  • No, this is actually thought provoking. I personally find it hard to make firm statements about myself and who I am and what I'm like because we are such complex, dynamic creatures. I even have a hard time with questions like, "Are you an introvert or extrovert?"

  • Thanks, I've set up my 7cups account. I see there is a $7.99/month tier that doesn't include therapy, but has a lot more resources than basic. I think I'll try it to get a feel for the community. I could probably manage $150/month if I budget correctly, and that's a lot of therapy for the price vs. most counseling services irl.

  • This is an excellent point and something I will keep in mind as I type up my post.

  • I see what you're saying, and that's actually one of the things that inspired this post. I say this in the most endearing way possible, but your first statement describes all of the discord servers I'm in tbh. There are a lot of people hurting, and a major shortage of resources to cope, especially for those who are unemployed or on the lower end of the income scale. I've even opened my inbox and ears, but like you said, I'm certainly in no position to give help beyond actively listening and being present.

  • Thank you very much for the resources. It's interesting searching in that second link you provided because there are some therapists listed in my community, but neither of the two who I saw.

    It gets discouraging not having much money, but I'll try that 7cups free service first and see if I like it.

    Thanks!
