If you use browser extensions like Ghostery and AdNauseam it’ll click on blocked ads in the background, essentially giving Google fake info. After I started using extensions like that my survey questions have been all over the place, and I’ll answer them in a way that feels potentially accurate but is actually 100% false and irrelevant to me lol. So I get money, falsify their info, and block ads and trackers all at the same time, it’s perfect!

I love that, Zabes has such cool girl energy lol

Using Sync, which just released, you can filter instances you don’t wanna see. I did the same with lemmynsfw lol

The whole thing is fucking deplorable

Untrue.

There’s different species that serve different purposes in the ecosystem.

All that being said, I can’t stand them lol

There’s a few apps you could use if you have an android phone with an OLED screen!

The main rule was that if you visited the sub you had to post a meme before you left, (obviously unenforceable) but that’s why all the posts have “rule” in the title. It ended up being a very queer friendly and fairly horny subreddit, somewhat notoriously so lol

I don’t think Reddit is very niche, it’s one of the most trafficked websites in the world. Do I think all of those users will move to Lemmy? Not at all, especially since most of those people are using it to augment their Google searches. But as the higher quality content moves, I can see Lemmy (or a different fediverse alternative) being “the place to go” instead. I think discoverabilty and moderation tools are going to be key to bringing people over. I think it will foster the kind of place that draws in more people.

As for Mastodon idk. BlueSky seems interesting, but I don’t trust Jack Dorsey to not cave to venture capital and shareholder interests and enshittify the website like every other social media has. I give it five years lol.

This is the first I’m hearing of this, interesting
