I agree. This is has been an absolute pleasure to read. Like a proper structured debate, where neither side is wrong, but they're both right.

Good point. Edited.
In a capitalist world, it is possible (and prudent) to treat your customers like customers. Your line will still go up, and for longer. Yes, if you treat them like products, your line will go up faster, until it won't.
E: if they made this ad network an opt-in with a proper explanation, many people would have opted in. Not everyone, but many would have. And their reputation would not have been sullied.
Mozilla wants us to love Firefox again? Ok, well, it's actually pretty simple: treat us like ~~customers~~ users, instead of products again. Make the product for us, not for the corpos. Strange how betrayal turns a friend into a foe, isn't it...
E: changed customers to users, as another user here suggested the difference between them. (thanks, fellow lemming!)
I left a couple months before the change (after the announcement). I was lurking here again, since I lost my password to my previous Lemmy account. Maybe others were doing similar things, and reddit was already emptying of its more friendly community.
E: autocorrect
Even UBO doesn't work here. Zapping the element, just pops it back up. Crazy
E: disabling js does seem to allow access to the site and articles, though you can't interact with anything (comments and such).
Makes sense. Sorry that happened to you. Hopefully Lemmy won't becomes like that (I mean as a whole, individual instance still can and have become like that).
Isn’t that the definition of off-grid?
Yeah, but not only. For example, I can build a private wifi network, and have my friends join their phones to it. Some bloke across the yard can open his own network, but the two networks will not communicate with each other. The two networks are off-grid, but are independent of each other.
This meshtastic thing sounds awesome! Crowd sourced off-grid network.
Recently? Because that would make sense. That's basically who's left on the platform.
How long ago was this? This sounds like actions that the past couple years worth of mods would take, but maybe I'm wrong.
You can get banned from reddit?? That doesn't bode well haha
