Ad-blocking is piracy, and that's okay
Jump
Melvin_Ferd @lemmy.world 21h ago

When I see an ad, I make note of the product and tell at least two people at random how that product gave my uncle cancer or burned down his house killing his entire family. Imagine a movement where every single person took ads and used them to create anti ads. Make company's think before they steal our time and data. They will likely send some legal goons for you but this is the Chicago way

Ad blocking does not go far enough.

Why is everything considered trolling now. Obviously it's not meant to be a max positivity approved meme. I just thought it was something we could have a laugh.

It's just sad what is reported as trolling now. I'm all for the downvotes but reporting for trolling is stupid.

Mods at programing humour deleted it because thats what lemmy mods do. Moderated based on vibes and personal taste. Like reddit mods just much worse

Something like that. I see a weird pattern with articles about AI and articles about immigration in right wing circles. They're the same. Like the themes and focus in the headlines for each all seem to be reused

Someone the other day bragged that they tagged me as a fascist and racist 😆 I have no idea why but I think tagging is stupid in general.

I guess it freaks me thinking that maybe the real content was bots the entire time and that this is just us. No real insight. No moving anything forward. Just reacting and then telling each other to go outside or touch grass the minute anyone calls it out. Like "shut up and observe your cat memes you internet denizen."

I did want to read some comments discussing the contents of the article. I'll pop back later I guess

This is kind of what I'm getting at. Like no matter what post I go on, it is all the same. The comments are cookie cutter from post to post.

4chan had insane investigative abilities. Reddit had insight from experts on so many posts about anything. Lemmy is just people who don't like things.

Your Comment is on the level of "touch grass" just to highlight why lemmy is rapidly turning into a shit show

My disgust at lemmy users grows daily. This place was suppose to be something great. Why not just read the piece and go off what it says. People need to accept that technology is here and they need to get over it.

There are handful of comments so far and none of them are discussion the content. They're all obsessed if they can tell if it's AI or not.

Of course there issues with AI but this place was heavily astroturfed against and now we're stuck with the consequences

I did. For a while it only got worse and seems like the leftist i was a part of have become just really pitiful sad lumps. Like they really focused on "cat playing piano" part of the internet but ignored the rest. The rest was too confrontational for them. The leftist i left were watching liveleak videos and laughing their asses off.

Wtf has happened.

The internet has become much worse. Iran is the most important thing happening. But take reddit for example. There seems to be a moderation effort to eliminate multiple discussions and funnel everyone and everything into these single chats. Does that bother anyone else?

Back in the day there would be multiple discussions so many views and opinions. Multiple conversations created momentum and insight. Each iteration improved on the last with information and then there was a single thread that could link to multiple threads. It now seems like that's all gone. Everything is sanitized. I scrolled through some homepages even here on lemmy and it's like

lame joke,

cat posts,

dumb meme,

angry post about Hollywood,

ww3 breaking out mega thread,

cat video,

trumps a butt head,

video game

video game.

Is this our world now. The most important thing is moderated into a drawer so we can get back to the paying a cat tax and being silly guys. What the fuck is going on. I feel like I'm losing my god damn mind.
