I see no mention of ActivityPub in the article, but I'm wondering if this is part of their plan to eventually integrate Tumblr into the fediverse as well.
However I agree with others that this will likely result in hella janky hackable websites first...hopefully it smoothes out.
i used wordpress for over a decade but left last year when the AI hype started ramping up and there were reports that even selecting the option to turn off post scraping doesn't work because the bots blocked by the site's robots.txt doesn't update.
basically: wordpress doesn't let you control AI scraping so is it still the best platform those of us worried about that are gonna be able to find?
I don't like sandwiches or burgers
too many ads
I've been using Waterfox as my Firefox backup because for some reason my Firefox always crashes within 15 minutes of use, and it's always when I'm doing impirtant shit like banking or paying a bill. Which is what I typically use the 'legit' browsers for, and why I just use LibreWolf for daily browsing/fuckery. Using Waterfox feels like it calls less attention when on a government website as opposed to Librewolf.
Didn't know it was bought by an ad company once upon a time, but this is also why I spread out my browsing. I also use Ghostery, and I have Brave (for checking how things show up in a Chromium environment when programming) but I don't like Brave and rarely use it... Point is, gotta have multiple browsers either way.
another reason to pay with cash
omg you the real mvp
not memes for me but anime. there's no way to block whole instances i don't wanna see. if i don't wanna see ani.social on my feed at all i have to block every community on the instance, which is just not possible.
memes though is gonna be hard for you because a lot of people use meme formats to communicate in any topic. the science side of lemmy memes about science stuff. the programmers meme about computer stuff. but that's not all they do, there's more than just memes, there's actual discussion too. to completely get rid of memes and never see them on a lemmy feed again is gonna be an impossible task.
Agreed on stopping subscriptions. Don't use Spotify.
It could be cool to have a fediverse alternative for IMDb or Letterbox. I used to track/rate movies and episodes of a show I'd watched on IMDb (the episodes mostly so I knew where I left off) but no longer want to deal with websites stuffed with ads. Would love to see something like this for the fedi but haven't come across anything.
yeah i remember when that article came out in 2023
