  • Yep I split my time between Lemmy and Imgur to fill the void after leaving reddit, cause Lemmy alone unfortunately isn’t enough to show you everything there was to see on reddit.

    That said, be warned that it’s corporate owners have no problems with collecting as much data as they can off your phone and selling it to anyone who’s buying. Just look at this shit:

    So if you do decide to go there, do yourself a favor and wear a condom. Install DuckDuckGo and enable “app tracking protection”, and get a DNS-level adblocker on your phone as well. AdGuard or NextDNS are both fine choices.




  • You should give SponsorBlock a try (it’s available for browsers, as a feature in the YouTube ReVanced app for mobile, and SmartTubeNext for TVs).

    It automatically skips every annoyance you tell it to; not just sponsored segments but like and subscribe reminders, “hey guys” intros, unnecessary fluff, outro screens, non-music parts in music videos… There’s even a “skip to highlight” feature to get straight to the point.

    It makes the modern YouTube experience so much better, that I flat out refuse to watch YT without it.











  • It’s funny you bring him up, cause I didn’t like the guy back in the day when he was popular, but he’s matured quite a bit in recent years to the point where I not only no longer find him annoying, I even became a subscriber as well.

    He puts out so much content that his videos are perfect for binging when you need some background noise or something to fall asleep to. You’ll never see the same video twice. I’m glad I gave him a second chance.
