Holy run-on sentences. I agree with you, but it was done, it’s already in the museums. Signing petitions and raising awareness of agencies/museums that are trying to get the stuff back is probably a better way to funnel your frustrations.

Just because Egypt is in Africa doesn’t automatically make Egyptians black. Look at a map. Northern Africa and Egypt were just as much part of southern Europe and the Middle East.

Pretty sure the votes don’t work on the ads. Why would they, every ad would get down voted into oblivion and not show up on people’s feeds. It reminds me of the fake comments on Facebook ads. “Pre-ordered my shwami blankets, can’t wait!”

More of their bullshitery. I had the audacity to use my browser to click a reddit link.

This is why I had to block them from my home feed. Way too many random posts that, because of the nature of the “rule”, aren’t very interesting.

I’ve also noticed that I’m losing interest in gaming recently. Whenever I get notified by steam that something on my wishlist is on sale I just look at it and move on. I started playing chess again for the first time since I was I kid and it’s been keeping me satisfied.

Well, both have a brightly colored cake.

My hope is that if enough people block an instance, it’ll just die out over time from not enough interaction.

It’s not even enjoyable for me because it’s literal spam posts. It’s like the old school sex phone commercials. Doesn’t matter what the hot girl is doing or saying in the commercial, just put my show back on.

I’m not even that old (no offense) and I do that too. I’ll use apps if it doesn’t collect any data, and preferably FOSS, like Voyager. Anyways, thanks for the tip, I’ll log in on browser for my instance blocking needs.

Edit: jk, according to another comment, it’s not available on lemmy.world at the moment. Soon though.

My reasoning is that the people should be the “mods” essentially. If one community gets blocked by the majority of the people, then it might as well not exist. It will eventually die out through not enough people upvoting/downvoting, commenting, and basically interacting with them at all. The “any publicity is good publicity” saying applies to anything on the Internet.

This is another instance I would like to block. The onlyfans brigade is strong on lemmy.

Did you do it through an app or browser?

Block whole communities. That’s what I started doing. There’s one instance that I would like to block but that feature isn’t available yet as far as I’m aware. Reddit was the same way around 10 years ago, it’s been pruned and censored to the point where it’s more appealing to the average worldwide user. I don’t want that to happen to Lemmy; not to sound dismissive, but utilize your block list instead of calling for more/better mods.

I just dropped Sync. I’ve used it for reddit since the app came out. Even paid for the premium version years ago. My purchase didn’t carry over to the lemmy version, and I noticed the app collects data for marketing now. Switched to Voyager, it’s not as fluid as Sync but I’ll get used to it.

Who is this commander and why is he is fucking around with my downloads?

It’s about 1/76th the height of a Big Mac from McDonald’s.

Isn’t ‘theft of intellectual property’ taking someone else’s work and try to pass it off as your own?

Use Sync! I used it for years for reddit. They had to shut down with the other third party apps, but they just came back with Lemmy.
