What attention are you objecting to? Is it the “we defederated with them” attention that explains what happened or the “this is why” attention that, well, explains why?

Both of these are big parts of the transparency of Lemmy which I’d much rather see continue

it blocks all ads

Am I the only one that has a problem with this? Unless you’re paying for use of a site then aren’t you basically being entitled to someone else’s labor?

Someone made the site, created the content, and hosted it for consumption. Until money isn’t necessary for survival it seems reasonable to make sure they’re compensated for it.

If you have so little attention to spare that an ad along side or even within content is too far for you how did you find the time to comment?

Good on you for looking for free options. On the other hand that furthers the question about how much attention would really cost you…

If you’re blocking them all how do you know how obtrusive or obnoxious they are?

Secondarily, why do you think that is? Have they gotten more or less instant since ad blockers have been an option?

I’m not at all against ad blockers. I’ve got a Pi-hole myself. I just think blocking every ad ever is doing a lot more for the problem than it is to help

Sounds like a pretty weak constitution if you can’t stomach looking at something so mundane. I hope you don’t drive.

And great job ignoring the other part.

Nice enough to be considerate of the low level employees who only have jobs because the company they work for has ads on their site.

Not more powerful, just more willing to do whatever to get what they want.

If good people always lose then why do we still have good people? Why do good acts still occur?
