Only lasted less than a day before it was intentionally corrupted by 4chan and shut down for idolizing Hitler

Love driving until I have to pay more attention to other cars than the road itself.

A lot of platforms only update at the end of the month. S&P 500 is down 11.54% and NASDAQ composite is down 12.5% in just the last 5 days.

The ad invasion has officially begun in earnest apparently. Brands should be downvoted (or banned or quarantined or something) as a rule.

Now... what can we do about political astroturfing? Politics is super broad and people legitimately talk about it all the time (as they should).

No sort by controversial for comments?

Also, some posts can be giant in the feed (many images, long images, when people post whole articles, etc). A way to limit these posts to maybe one whole screen would be nice.

Thank you for a great app!

Thanks for writing an essay so I no longer feel the need to lol. I hope your post gets more visibility.

I fucking hate advertising. I want it banned to the greatest extent that we can do so. But if we want actual change, it needs to be a lawfully applicable strategy. We don't need to make the perfect the enemy of the good. Banning ads for medication is a great start that everyone can agree on for instance. We should work up from there.

The most insidious stuff is the content you don't even realize is an ad, like comments and methods of boosting/lowering visibility on social media. That is a thorny issue.

This is a new phenomenon here in my experience, the cynic in me says this is ad companies trying to control and shut down the conversation as Lemmy grows. Better to have your opposition not have a realistic and feasible route to their goals.

It reminds me of how close the US was to actual police reform before all the discussion became "defund the police entirely" like that was going to just suddenly fix everything and cause no other problems. Then the whole movement just basically evaporated.

Never been banned but I stopped commenting or even logging in on Reddit years ago, I always used r/all almost exclusively and they ruined that algorithm multiple times over. I could never really tell if I was talking to a bot or not when commenting either.

We need answers

Has someone started a website yet to specifically track all of the judge orders and Trump's (non)response to them? Would be good to put it all in one spot w/primary sources n whatnot
