Use something else then. Cheers.

The difference is you’re not getting ads or AI. It’s basically google from 2010.

All good choices, but udm14.org filters out ads too.

Correct.

Use udm14.org instead.

Agreed. It’s silly.

I like Mastodon. It’s like social media from 2010, chronological, only seeing what you want, great curation tools, and no ads or stupid algorithm. Moderation is also way better on Mastodon, though it can vary by instance.

I haven’t used BlueSky, but I imagine it feels pretty familiar, which is what a lot of people want, and that’s cool too.

They can both be good things.

I can only assume BlueSky feels more familiar.

Mastodon requires a bit of effort, lacking an algorithm to drive content toward users, so you have to do a bit more yourself.

I don’t think I’ve ever upvoted something more enthusiastically in my life.

Cheers and thank you.

It was a stupid religious thing. He Gets Us is a campaign by Christian people, the annoying type that stand on street corners, not the kind that just do their thing and leave everyone else alone.

It was infuriating.

If I wanted to be preached to I’d subject myself to that nonsense.

Life is good when you try something new and realize just how annoying it was dealing with ads and fighting against a shitty algorithm.

No more of this ‘He Gets Us’ bullshit.

Good info. Thanks.

Threads created a shadow account for every user on Instagram, so, I dunno. I’m guessing most of those are just dummy accounts that will remain forever inactive.

Glad to have you!

Been on Mastodon since October 2022.

It’s a great platform.

I mean, they can turn it into total shit like they did with Instagram and Facebook.

In a country where 98% of the voting population picks based on team color, we don’t have either, and it’s because neither side will hold anyone accountable.

Without privacy there is no democracy

I mean, would be nice if we actually had one.

Or both, really.

Exactly.

I’m not sure why anyone would look at Facebook at this point and not think they’re coming to manipulate and destroy external platforms.
