I am. And this amounts to selective censorship.

I don’t think there is one. The Impressia app (iOS) does though.

Thing is though, There’s plenty of sources I haven’t blocked. It’s basically just the Daily Mail and a shitty red-top, so I can’t believe they only curate the sources that I’ve blocked. In which case the feed should consist of headlines from the other huge array of other news sources.

Cheers - this would work, but first requires whitelisting all the sources you’re happy to see news from, rather than simply not showing you news from sources you’ve blocked.

I mean, this is specifically mildly infuriating, and there are other positives to it.

Fair enough. Although I would say that the magazine aspect (which I use it for primarily) couldn’t really adhere to that. The printed publications that you’d buy in a newsagent contain printed ads. I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s not different. Paper copy or digital, you’re getting ads with whichever one you pay for.

Isn’t it the publications themselves that contain the ads rather than the app itself?

Well now I’m going to have to try it aren’t I.

Not sure I’d agree, as the sources are configurable, but this sort of shit is far from a great user experience.

Perfectly cromulent (lemmy.world)

Having seen it crop up few times within various posts, I looked up the word ‘cromulent’. Merriam-Webster gave a cromulent answer, except for this bit that doesn’t travel so well to this side of the Atlantic.

 

I bought one thing from Wayfair and got nine emails about it over the course of four days.
