Specifically, ublock origin. The "origin" part is important.

That would make pushing posts to the top via botting way too easy, and far harder to detect. Federation is intentionally set up so that instances do not trust each other.

Idk, I preferred meatspin and lemonparty.

Votes on lemmy are inherently public, due to how federation works.

So... does anyone know how legal/illegal piracy is in the Netherlands and Finland?

[–] TheGreatFox@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

Technically exists, but has been inactive for months. The active piracy communities are !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !piracy@lemmy.ml - neither of which are hosted by lemmy.world.

Blue Blocker is a great extension for anyone still using Twitter.

That's how the corporate-written laws in the USA handle it most likely. The EU actually has some amount of consumer protection. Burying it in a 100 page terms of service document doesn't count as consent either.

Not an expert either, but from what I've seen, the EU actually has some amount of consumer protection. The USA on the other hand mostly lets big corporations get away with whatever they want, as long as they make some "donations".

Back when it was unintrusive banner ads and the like? Sure, you might have had a point then. But now, with multiple unskippable 2 minute ads, before, during, and after the video? Fuck no.

Ghostery, Privacy Badger, etc, are all redundant if you have ublock origin anyway. uBO blocks all the stuff they block, and having multiple blockers makes it more likely they'll interfere with each other.
