I feel the same. I can just block instances or people if I don't like it, simple as that lol

I couldn't agree more, stay on big tech if you can't accept both sides

The nice thing is that whichever you choose, you can still interact with people on either side so I might as well stick around here just cause I'm too lazy to make another account

Im not 100% sure but I believe it's like its own platform that's part of the fediverse and is also similar to reddit the same way Lemmy is

Could you elaborate? I'm curious as to what that whole situation is about?

I'm assuming some kind of politics are involved with the stuff I mentioned, but like I said, I'm not sure what's going on there but the fact I even mentioned it obviously is enough to trigger one side of the little war going on there

It's honestly heartbreaking considering how much work it must be to write a book and how scary it is especially with so many influencers and celebrities in the market now already making it harder for real authors to get noticed

Reddit is stubborn, it's kinda funny.

Ive used AdBlock for about 15+ years, at first because YouTube was getting a little overboard with their ads. Now I've kinda became a privacy nut and still use stuff like UBlock Origin but more for stopping weird trackers and cookies that invade my privacy and sell my data

Do you mean just Lemmy or the fediverse as a whole? Cause I hear some complaints about the ethics of the Lemmy creators and some people are switching to kbin which is still in the fediverse. So I can see people jumping ship to kbin but I already made my Lemmy account and don't really care to switch at the moment. I'm not entirely sure what the situation with Lemmy creators is anyways

Cereal goes before milk

I was a straight up lurker on reddit, I feel like this environment makes me wanna be more active, reminds me of the old days before websites were a cash grab and there was true communities
