They also actively ignore those ‘No licence needed’ declarations, I’ve submitted three, two online and one by mail and they still routinely threaten to show up on my doorstep ‘any day now’

Why ask me to declare it if you’re going to ignore that? There’s probably cause for a complaint there but I’d rather not waste the oxygen.

I imagine we all have different use cases, my idea of Lemmy succeeding may not be your idea.

That being said, as a replacement for Reddit, where I can scroll through the top say 50 posts once or twice a day, it absolutely fits the bill.

Rest is fine, discussion is healthy. I don’t need to agree with everyone, that isn’t what this is about.

I translated some stuff in that German blog. It’s kinda wild, vaccination damage and the KGB mixed with more far right conspiracy theories and then just general normal stuff.

uBlock Origin forever and always. I’ve recently reinstalled Windows within the last 30 days and thus have a fresh installation of my browser and uBlock Origin – I have already blocked 609,521 ads, wild.
