What about apps that are already installed? Are they going to be blocked from running a soon as I upgrade?

My launcher is from F-Droid.

I agree. You don’t have to convince me. I’ve been on mastodon for almost 8 years and it gets better every day.

I’m easily out if they screw it up, I’m in the fediverse at least as much as there. So far, I’m OK with them and I want to see what happens with this protocol. Mastodon needs some work too.

Tags are fine for that although not all things are tagged well.

As for algorithms, they are only as bad as they are implemented. They don’t have to promote rage and ads. Bluesky does this well by allowing many user created feeds to choose from. Mastodon needs this option.

I guess I don’t care that much at this point but I’m out as soon as I see the first ad.

Lemmy doesn’t have this problem, but mastodon needs algorithms. Otherwise, discovery is more difficult and you must be around at the same time people of interest are either there or being boosted. People leave thinking it’s boring.

They banned journalists? Who?

And I didn’t know about the redirects and tracking either. They are doing that without ads?

They may fail but we better not be bailing them out!

That’s all the talk so far? It feels like a bad sign to me when power starts moving from the true believers to the VCs.

I’ve never seen that. How much memory do you have?

I really don’t remember the last time Firefox crashed on me and I’ve been using it for many years

Me too

4 bowls of chili before the interview. And deviled eggs. No words necessary.

New ubo feature: if page does not grant permission to block ads then entire page is blocked.

When I come across a paywall that is not circumvented by simple script blocking I don’t even bother to try anymore and I remove these suggestions from my feed.

Absolutely. Too bad that even unobtrusive ads still can’t be trusted not to have trackers.

“The growth of dark traffic undermines the ability of publishers to fund the production of quality content, or even operate as a business. We must recognise users are not the main driver causing this.”

“It’s demonetising publisher content at scale without user consent.”

They act like we don’t know what we are doing and want the ads. People who block ads in browsers like ddg and brave choose those browsers for that reason.

I’ve been on mastodon for 8 years and it’s ok but it can’t catch the masses. It has been paralyzed from advancing by a vocal minority.

It shouldn’t take 6 years to get search and quote posts. They also need optional algorithmic feeds.

Bot?

I tried Jerboa and Voyager on Android before settling down with SUMMIT. I haven’t found a reason to change since.
