Good thing there’s so many options for people to find what they’re looking for.

Thunder is my personal recommendation with Raccoon being my next choice.

If you’re interested that is. Otherwise just pretend I was never here.

Not that one thing alone, obviously. But it’s a big part of it.

We can call it a hypothesis if that helps.

Then you’re the target audience for Bluesky and similar. Mastodon and other fediverse sites don’t have that and that’s what most of the people here prefer.

I forgot about Lemmy for a few days just because it’s not so addictive and I like that. It’s actually refreshing when you realise you’ve been gone for a few days without missing it.

The overwhelming majority of ads are malware. Which is why I block aggressively and refuse to budge on that.

It’s Twitter 2.0. It’s what the average person wants. It’s popular because it has algorithms and all the other addictive things from corporate social media.

Mastodon and others don’t have these things and are harder to get started with. Picking a server is weird and scary. After that, getting your home feed started is difficult if you don’t know to just follow some hashtags.

Buying a membership may go against the spirit of the post and the community, but Anna’s Archive is a very worthwhile cause and you get faster downloads without waiting.

If that’s not an option, they have torrents for chunks of their collection as far as I understand. Costs nothing but bandwidth and seeding helps keep the archive safe.

Here’s hoping this becomes a proper english version with the same dedication as the original. Think a lot of people could appreciate something like this.

Yes, that would seem like an ISP, DNS, or some other block. Try changing the DNS on your devices to p0.freedns.controld.com or something similar and test again.

Edit: Changed to a DNS server with no ad or other blocking.

Works just fine.

Seems like it’s just you.

Tested with two different services and it’s up. I also accessed the site and it’s working fine.

I live in the Southern hemisphere. Far away from these idiots. But I still feel like their education system and their country as a whole has failed them, leading to this idiocy.

ETA: That’s why I still feel somewhat sorry for them even though I’m laughing at how stupid it is.

Maybe I’m just a bleeding heart librul, but I really do feel sorry for these people. They’re absolutely getting what they deserve, but they’ve been brainwashed. Propaganda is a powerful thing.

That was my first thought. My heart bleeds for you. I wish I could help you. But you’re beyond help and I’m just gonna laugh instead.

I know Voyager does.

Also FitGirl. Often she repacks DODI’s repacks, but makes them much smaller for those with slow connections or limited bandwidth.

uBlock Origin can likely be setup to do the same. Just make it disappear. Would Consent-o-matic work for this?

Then try subscribing to communities that have something of interest to you.
