corporate vs. free, then zoom into free and vs. bad instances. we still need something like TheBadSpace to help with safety and moderation.
omg you the real mvp
not memes for me but anime. there’s no way to block whole instances i don’t wanna see. if i don’t wanna see ani.social on my feed at all i have to block every community on the instance, which is just not possible.
memes though is gonna be hard for you because a lot of people use meme formats to communicate in any topic. the science side of lemmy memes about science stuff. the programmers meme about computer stuff. but that’s not all they do, there’s more than just memes, there’s actual discussion too. to completely get rid of memes and never see them on a lemmy feed again is gonna be an impossible task.
Agreed on stopping subscriptions. Don’t use Spotify.

Yeah that’s very true about RSS readers and FOSS options and the masses not being able to find them very well despite wanting it. Agreed it’s a good quotable conversation to have published. I am just frustrated that we so seldom see talk about what we can do about it, what comes next?
While I appreciate this article and those like it, too many of these types of articles don’t focus enough on the solution. I expected an article titled “how to save” to offer more solutions to what can be done, but that’s mostly left to a single paragraph about being more intentional and thoughtful and “sitting with your own feelings.”
If something isn’t done to actually change the consumerist culture and insidious marketing models and data collection practices, we’ll have another article like this in another few years, like we have had every few years. We were talking about filter bubbles when I was in high school over ten years ago. It’s only gotten worse.
Plume looks perfect, thanks so much.
If it doesn’t apply to the .org side, that would be great. But even I’m not sure I’d want to stick with them as a company.
What are some beginner-friendly, free Wordpress alternatives?
It looks like Tumblr at least has a way to opt-out of sharing with third-party services that use AI, but since this has been there it’s unclear if it’ll change with this new announcement.
It’d be super cool if we could connect article-hosting services with the power of activitypub or something but like one of those commenters mentioned, the issue would always be spam and security.
I am also wondering this
Listen to independent radio stations. Usually can find a stream link online and plug into a music player app.
Damn, it’s just like that show, The 100
I believe kbin is updating the API, working on bug fixes and improvements and such, so the site is spotty right now. It said this would be happening for a few days, but that was a few days ago…
I love Bottles. When in doubt, that always works.
There are still a lot of games that don’t work for me, even with Proton on Steam. Lutris has just straight up never worked for anything. Managed to get some going with the Heroic Games launcher, but not all. I think it’s either a DirectX problem or something with the drivers. I’m not nearly techie enough to know how to even approach solving the problem, just maybe identifying it. I hope you figure it out so we can all get to playing our favorite games.
I’ve been using Waterfox as my Firefox backup because for some reason my Firefox always crashes within 15 minutes of use, and it’s always when I’m doing impirtant shit like banking or paying a bill. Which is what I typically use the ‘legit’ browsers for, and why I just use LibreWolf for daily browsing/fuckery. Using Waterfox feels like it calls less attention when on a government website as opposed to Librewolf.
Didn’t know it was bought by an ad company once upon a time, but this is also why I spread out my browsing. I also use Ghostery, and I have Brave (for checking how things show up in a Chromium environment when programming) but I don’t like Brave and rarely use it… Point is, gotta have multiple browsers either way.
