Same, but it is a trained habit. I purposefully do not want to look at usernames.

The feeling I get from people that avoid Facebook products is not due to the walled garden but instead due to the company that makes the product.

I don’t want to strap a data collection device to sell me more ads to my face. Hence, I won’t buy an HMD from an advertising company.

Apple is not an advertising company. Yes they advertise on their own properties but a majority of their revenue does not come from ads. As such, Apples incentives are drastically different than Facebook, so I will buy hardware from them.

This is the most drama, free Lemmy instance.

What about my emergency fund? That is idle wealth.

Step 1: don’t use social media

Step 2: …

That’s it!

My biggest hinder was not knowing the difference between where and were.

You’re absolutely correct. And because of that, content quality has plummeted and if you read comments, they are on a downward trajectory.

I’ll read comments here and think, “holy shit these people are stupid” and then I’ll go to Reddit and realize how much more stupid people can get. Comments on Reddit are the absolute bottom of the barrel. Way worse than YouTube has ever been.

Him and Netanyahu should form some sort of axis alliance.

Beehaw seems designed with the intent of being a specific type of echo chamber. And there is nothing wrong with that. But the fediverse wouldn’t miss yet another echo chamber.

Do as you want.

“We will slow down the genocide a bit…”

Thank you for this!! I’m also amazed you have zero blocked communities.

I also wish it wasn’t that way, but if you’ve ever tried to hire for a job requiring specific skills you’ll understand why it is that way.

A vast majority of candidates are completely unqualified and/or poor workers. By poor worker, I don’t mean someone that does their job 9-5 and goes home. I mean the dudes that sit on Reddit all day or simply don’t work most of the day and then blame their spouse/kid/dog/cousin/etc as to why they are unproductive. I’m sorry, but if it takes you 2 days to change the text on a label in a web project, then you are slacking. I say this as someone intimately familiar with the web project and understand exactly the work needed.

Networking solves a lot of that. I reach out to excoworkers all the time because they have proven they are both knowledgeable and not a slacker.

Curious, what plan did you have? I watch Hulu a ton and never see ads.

Ketchup for potatoes and some meats. Mustard for sausages and some other meats. Mayo for the trash can.

Look at the source. This is their schtick.

Chronological. Completely uncensored. Allow easy blocking of others, including blocking posts/comments from your personal feed using categories or keyword recognition.

Done.

Reading between the lines, the days of adfree streaming are coming to an end.

Assuming this continues, expect the big player to start including ads and, the next step will be removing adfree plans entirely.

Get you torrenting and Usenet skills up to par. You’re gonna need them.

If you want to live in high density housing and extremely walkable areas, why not move to those areas rather than trying to force your desires on a neighborhood that entirely disagrees with your preferences?

I live in the suburbs because I like low density housing. Why do you feel entitled to force your preference on me?

It isn’t brigading when a majority of the world wants Israel to stop genocide and they say it.

Just because the majority opinion is against you doesn’t mean it is being brigaded.
