    It’s what we all loved about the internet I think, before the web become… “that” (looking at the pile of shit the web has become).

    But actually it’s not the web, not really. It’s the big tech platforms that most people seem to think is the internet now. It’s sad to watch how people log on to “Facebook” and not the general web anymore. And then Google in front of everything, like a big cancer growth.

    Lemmy is not the new internet either I believe. But it’s here to show people that something else can exist. As soon as we let advertising in here though, it’s over.

        there’s a safe mode if it’s of use: nested in the settings gear menu but also on /preferences (to turn it on for all searches)
