Been replaying Into The Breach. One of the best turn based tactic games there is out there.

Holy shit

Agreed!

And this means we're not giving them clicks or anything? It's basically as if we've never visited in the first place?

I get that "no ads no tracking", but does the proxy give them a view? I don't want them to get any traffic from me, proxy or otherwise.

Thanks for sharing

I've been wanting to boycott Reddit for a long time, and the list of problems I had with it was very long. It took this API issue to finally get some community action.

But in short, Reddit is moving away from genuine community, and more towards fake astroturfed corporate content with manipulated comments and unabashed bot activity.

I have nothing against it OP for sharing this, but the headline of this article by PCgamer is super clickbaity, witholding the key info until you give them a click. There was a subreddit called "saved you a click" that was basically taking clickbait headlines and putting the "prize info" in the post title. I wonder if there will be a Lemmy equivalent.

Is this internet feudalism?

If you can't be monetized, you're just noise. They don't see their community as people, they see them as data to be harvested and eyes to be advertised to.

r/Canada was taken over by alt-right a long time ago. r/OnGuardForThee had to be made in response to that. I feel like Reddit in general is going that direction. The sheer volume of bot activity on most major subreddits is insane.

And some ugly-ass NFT snoo abomination

Is anyone here old enough to remember SomethingAwful and communities like that from the early 2000s? Lowtax drama aside, during its hayday the community was the source of so many OG memes. Here's hoping that Lemmy will have that nostalgic feeling.
