The tankie thing keeps pushing me away from lemmy, but lemmy seems to be the only software getting clients at the moment. So I'm torn. I want an iOS client badly, but I don't want to support tankies.

I suppose I shouldn't sell out for a nice app though.

That's why I nuked all my posts and edited every one of my comments to point to kbin / lemmy before deleting my account. They may revert my changes, but I at least wanted to try to prevent them from benefiting from me in any way.

Yes! I started competing in a sport in my late twenties and am deep into it now (I'm 36), and have never felt better.

Do you mean mlem? That’s the TestFlight app I have.

I mean physical mail, lol. You go out to your mailbox and have a handful of crap that you have to throw away.

Yes, at least in the US, we get a ton of ads via mail (post). It's a huge pain. I use iOS and I don't think there are any Instagram alternative apps.

It has become that way in the US.

So the backend is coded in Rust? I've been learning the language but haven't actually used it outside of tutorials yet. I'm experienced in C++ and know how to program so I may look into it while I'm unemployed.

My pihole helps quite a bit, but some still sneak in. I had to use a VPN to get a cheap rate for Youtube premium which helps a ton. Instagram ads and mail ads are unavoidable still.

I am so sick of ads being everywhere. It's such a mental load.
