It appears I'm not allowed to interact on that instance, did lemmy.world defederate from lemmy.ml?
Make sure to leave a bad review in the app store and then uninstall it.
Rarbg going away was what finally got me to learn how to use qBittorent's built in search engine which has solved my issues and made it effortless to find torrents without going to sketchy websites.
Go to the search section and add custom search engines and fill in all the good sites from this list:

For the most detailed exercise/health tracking, I'd highly recommend Garmin watches. First, no subscription fees, you buy the hardware and you own it and can customize it a lot. Second, the battery life can't be beat. Third, stats, graphs, analytics! Plus it works just as well whether you're an apple or android user.
I have the Forerunner 265 and it is so much fun for a stats and graph loving nerd like myself. My gf chose the Venu 2 Sq because she wanted a square screen and she is really happy with it.
The theory is that their July traffic numbers are probably down so they're boosting them with /r/place traffic so that the drop due to 3rd party apps doesn't look as bad to investors. Reddit probably sees the increased server costs as an investment to boost their IPO valuation.
Reddit is pro-advertisers now, so not an issue!
lol yes there's a whole underground imgur social network full of users unaware that imgur was originally just an image hosting website for reddit. By default the images I uploaded were private but I decided to click the button to make them a public post just out of curiousity of what imgur's opinion on the matter might be. Turns out it's not interesting for them.
If you spend time watching /r/place you see that pictures mostly form in a natural, progressive way. This is the only place you see hundreds of pixels being changed uniformly all at once. Even bots would be making more gradual changes than this. It's clearly someone who has a brush tool for censoring.
The admins are blatantly censoring the drawing, putting checkerboard squares or circles of random color over that part. Here are some screenshots I took only seconds apart.
R/place will increase their traffic no matter what. At least the picture can convey the protest message so they know we aren't going to move past it that easily. Plus, keeping r/place open all day is increasing their server costs while providing no ad revenue. I don't go to reddit other than to spread to good word of Lemmy and to downvote admins so I think that has more benefit to us than to them.
With blackjack, and hookers!
