Pretty surprising to people who dont have great history schooling, which is most people on the planet

They want to stop growing at the “dead population” stage, eh? Odd choice, but aight

Is that not the literal point of copying reddits homework with the sub format?

Lol I am not your mother, sorry

It also tracks that you didnt even understand the meme you posted

Yeah, it tracks that was too complex for you

You, apparently

Sleeping sure is a crime worthy of the death by cop treatment, huh?

Not to the tree, who get infections and diseases from this.

Even if we pretend youtube isnt actually just a data farm that alphabet sells under a different company name to avoid directly saying youtube sells your data (hint: this is where the majority of youtube money comes from), it doesnt really matter if enough consumers decide the ads arent worth the content.

Youtube isnt required living, its a very nice convenience. If it stops being convenient, people will do literally anything else. Its already only convenient enough for a lot via ad blockers. The worse it gets, the more leave ads behind. Making it worse worse doesnt bring people back.

… What?

Youtube has to detect every type of adblocker.

Ublock origin only needs to find 1 way around their detection.

And even if ublock ever gets stumped, a thousand people are trying to find their own version of 1 way around detection.

Youtube is playing whack a mole against a thousand moles, and just one unbopped mole destroys their hammer and they need to go craft a new one from scratch.

The moles win every time.

Dead fish? Do yiu think most people are eating them alive?

You are dosing sugar with every meal, and with most in between snacks.

You likely couldnt make it a week properly cutting sugar from your diet. Most cant.

you dont see huge bags of cocaine on grocery store shelves either.

Make sugar as rare as coke and you will see way worse shit than some simple street head.

Thats the same reason Im here. Learn the way this works while its developing, so if it evolves into a well developed community Ill already know my way around.

It doesnt help that mod tools here are very anti-user. Not even in a hostile way, the tools just arent finished or even made yet, so its very hard for users to play by the rules or know when theyre punished.

Like how you need to scroll through the modlog to see if your post/comment was deleted, and if youre lucky they might include why. Or how unclear and obtuse it is to check the instance global rules which change when you visit other communities, who themselves have a different list of rules.

These probably all have solutions, but thats gonna take time to build. And moderation is probably gonna be kinda wild west-esque until they are running.

Which sounds good, until you start to notice that most instances have functionally dead communities, and the majority of traffic comes happens on a small number of instances.

Lemmy doesnt have the population to have mass community movement, so mods abusing power in any of the larger instances means you shut up and put up with it or abandon the instance with 1/3 of the site content on it.

Power modding is going to be a much much larger issue here, while the community is still small. Maybe if there were enough users, federation might resist mod abuse. But as it is now (and will be for a while at least,) you basically are making a copycat instance or community and hoping people join you.

Any level of answer is appreciated, I hadnt realized I was this detailed trackable without what you commented so far

Lemmy is going to have worse mod issues than reddit, and this is an example of how and why.

So if I understand correctly, its just the unique cocktail of settings and OS identifiers that mark your print?

So keeoing things default should mask you to some degree, right?
