Yeah, but in federated social media you can just pack up and set up a new instance.
You won't ever need to leave the whole thing behind to disconnect from corporate BS.
My concerns the product advertisers attempting to sneak in, bragging or something. It felt rampant on Reddit, so itβs probably left me wary. π£
And if that happens, you can bet your ass there will one day be instance-wide ad-block that auto-blocks users/instances known for posting ads.
If that becomes a thing, there will be instances that explicitly filter it out.
The problem is its hard to tell what's an ad and what's not. Sometimes people ARE just enthusiastic about a product they found and want to share it.
It's easier when it's a large company like Burger King or something; like most people won't just suddenly start raving about this great new burger place they found called Burger King. It's different for more obscure companies. It could be actual Lemmy users who are just passionate or it could be company employees trying to sneak advertisements into site discussions.
I don't think there's any AI or other tools that could distinguish the two.
That's exactly right, NorSteve_
That's why I like to start my day with a Whopper and side of onion rings from my favourite local burger joint, Burger King. It supports the community and I get a dank feed while I scroll through Lemmy's dank memes.
Donβt forget to try the new Whopper melt. Add bacon for $.50 more, or make it spicy with another $1.00. Canβt fight climate change on an empty stomach.
I hate you both lol
Teal βc would be proud.
I am one of these people, am a dope smoker and recently got into related Lemmy communities. There's a lot of equipment that you dont hear about until through word of mouth so when I find something I LOVE through word of mouth like the arizer air max or brilliant cut grinder I do my part to scream their praises from the heavens so other smokers have a chance to hear about them.
Oh nice, what communities would you recommend? I'm already in !trees@sh.itjust.works, !microgrowery@lemmy.ml, !cannabiscultivation@slrpnk.net, !high_videos@sh.itjust.works, !stoner_rock@sh.itjust.works
!vaporents@lemmy.beyondcombustion.net is an excellent community you may want to check into :) !trees@lemmy.world is the trees community I frequent, will have to check out the shitjustworks one
I have an Arizer too, the extreme q π
I just delved into the EQ this week, wonderful device!
I love it, zero complaints. I'm about to smoke and listen to some music, I'm sure we'll meet again in the 420 communities. Have a nice night friend
Double edge sword. "This guy is shilling" reports go rampant .
Hopefully, the Reddit bot trackers peeps will move to lemmy, and lend us their wisdom.
I learnt so many ways realise a poster or commenter was a bit from those peeps. Amazing MVPs!
And folks like kitboga taught me that spammers/scammers generally stick to a script.
It's gonna be an arms race! Hopefully we win!
Yo I also worry about advertisers attempting to target me with localised advertisements, which is why I use Borg VPN! Nice try, advertisers, but those "hot milfs" are nowhere near me, ha!

That's why I started my own instance, I got the freedom to pick and choose what instances I allow, so if any corporation decides to join the fediverse I don't have to wait for the admin to defedederate.
Just make sure if you're using it as a personal instance to make it so no one but the admin can make communities and restrict your sign ups so your instance can't get taken over by nutjobs.
Interesting! Is there a risk of ballooning costs from legitimate bandwidth costs? Do you set some arbitrary limits on how much traffic you'll support before you turn off the tap?
Yeah I could see myself eventually joining a splinter of the fediverse that is even more rabidly anti-corporate than we are right now. Like constantly blocking shills and instances that refuse to do their own aggressive pruning.
