can anybody please tell me why lemmy wont be regulated or commercialized like reddit in the future? which safety rules are installed in the lemmy ecosystem to guarante freedom and democratic rule changes?
I’m ashamed to admit I’m a former reddit premium member. I canceled my subscription after being a paying member for a number of years the day Spez started his bullshit. I just can’t see myself going back. I just need to find an instance for my country that’s actually active.
Paying an optional subscription fee is a great idea. It helps pay for servers and personal.
Paying to give special rewards is a horrible idea. The wealthiest can now decide which opinion is best. Everyone wants to reply to the rewarded comments to be more visible for upvotes. It’s terrible.
I use uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock for YouTube and I haven’t seen an ad in ages. When I do see an ad, it’s because I’m trying to browse on somebody else’s computer.
SponsorBlock in particular is life changing. You don’t realize how much nonsense filler is in these videos. You can easily cut a 10 minute video from a mainstream YouTuber down to like 6 or 7 minutes worth of content if you skip intros, skip recaps, skip sponsorships and product plugs, and skip interaction reminders.
Yes, instead of an app you install, you patch the app yourself using a separate app. Kinda like xmanager if you’ve used that before. I’d point you to their official reddit, but… yknow… Here’s their official Discord discord.gg/revanced
As far as I know, not the same team, at least officially. Unlike vanced, they don’t provide the app themselves, you have to build it yourself, but that isn’t too hard. Your given the patches and the app that writes them patches to a stock version of YouTube downloaded on APKMirror, all that plus vanced MicroG and you got Revanced
I bit on the 3 free months offer awhile back, and they got me. I just couldn’t go back to the ads. $11.99/mo feels expensive, but like you I watch it all the time.
Ooh, this is a great idea. I could use a zener diode and a pregnancy test to make a test that reverses the result half the time, depending on electron-tunelling.
@tst123 This. It's not because of a hissy fit over the worlds worst reddit app, or a bunch of honorless fucknuggets ruining shit for the rest of us. it's that they are or were on a oldschool shareware-esk model: pay for the fucking thing your leaching from. Fact is weather or not anyone likes it even fedverse needs money to keep the lights on.
