Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense for targeted ads for sure. Still a bit worried about hashtags being used for ads since I follow a lot of hashtags on mastodon and usually have a quite a nice “organic” feed compared to other social media.
I am but a cog in a machine. A lazy one though.

Might be a stupid question, but can’t threads just post ads as “posts” via activityPub? On mastodon they would appear as toots?
Was just remembering how reddit introduced ads as basically promoted posts and recall facebook doing the same.
I sure fucking hope not.
You mean on android mobile? Firefox for Android has a extension that works nicely to allow you to play e.g. youtube videos in the background: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-background-play-fix/
For iOS though I’ve got no idea, sorry :(
I feel a bit icky about explaining this, but the demon is transferring their soul - by accident - to the “rainbow dash” figurine.

Oh thanks!
You did not disappoint, have to download that when I get home. Even has maps of some of the worlds of H.P. Lovecraft
This makes me happy! I just recently got really into maps and was glad to see a bit of community here as well.
Have to checkout those books, thanks for the suggestions!
Ah, a fellow !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz
I believe so aswell, but there is lemmy.ml for example, which apparently is meant to stand for “marxism-leninism” in that specific instance (.ml is Mali’s country TLD).
Oh no, not sure I want that.
The reason I’m not sure, is because I woke up at 5 am to do my morning run while making cold calls and preparing to open another business because my baby was born 2 hours before and taught me about B2B marketing in AI powered age.
If you want to hear more, hit me up with a DM!

This happened in Finland, but I didn’t want to specify it to spark a universal conversation, which succeeded!
I know people from all around the globe deal with privacy issues and hoped that others would share their experiences.
This is another great idea. Similar to having extra email for spam.
That’s the advice I’ve gotten here pretty much, and will probably deal with it in that way from now on!
It is sad that we have to do that, but don’t think this will change any time soon.
Haven’t looked into VOIP phone numbers before, thanks for the tip!
Could have been that too. I was polite and didn’t fuss about it thankfully!
100% would never want to make their day tougher than it already probably is.
This hermit politely declined, paid, thanked, and left. The anger I felt was towards the retail company and the clerk doesn’t need to witness that.
Very true, this is nothing new and just wanted to stop for a moment and rant about my mundane experience and love the the discussion this sparked here!
Holy shit, now that is smart thinking! I can’t believe he already made 300 pounds from listening to marketing calls!
Appreciate the thorough explanations, thanks!
The last part is fucked up, yikes…
