Are you actually trying to start a phone vs pc debate? That’s funny as hell.
I make art that’s totally mine because I did it through AI. https://imgur.com/a/Rhgi0OC

Mine too, we all voted and they listened.
anything it recommends suffers from being sourced in a void, devoid of true meaning.
You just described most of reddit, anything Meta, and what most reviews are like.
Who would actually try this? They said that McDonalds stopped the super-size shortly after wards, so it would have been hard to replicate anyway.
I think we’re on the same page, I don’t care if they read my feed in the slightest. Reddit made a shit ton off of me and my friends and I didn’t care about that either. They were providing a free service and I used it, make money. My issue with reddit was/is, they think they’re the product and treat everyone as such.

Yep, that’s one of the things I’m doing right here by getting the word out for everyone to spread out through the Fediverse. People were saying that when I joined, but I didn’t understand what the ramifications were. Of course, I can’t tell anyone on the largest instance, lol.
Nice, it looks like you can do it manually too.
When I unfollowed everything for the first time, I did it manually. I spent hours using a Facebook-provided feature to click unfollow on each of my friends, groups, and pages.
I’m pro-fediverse, that’s why I think it’s just as bad. There is one instance in particular, that has the vast majority of Lemmy, that is controlling the narrative for most Lemmy users and it probably will only get worse. I was banned from that one because an admin was curating what I said. Now I don’t really have a voice over there because I’m not savvy enough to do an alt that they couldn’t tell. So here I am, not being able to let people know that I’ve noticed them being curated and they’ve also banned my community in the biggest instance (that one I like).
This fact is rarely discussed but a major factor why the fediverse helps with democratization of the internet. Free information.
Absolutely, I want to keep it that way. I think corporations taking over one of the big instances would be subtle and will have terrible consequences for the fediverse. People sign up for it, not knowing, and then get curated just like on Facebook.
Why not both being an issue? Why wouldn’t they say who they really are if they’re a major corporation.
Meta (or similar) probably is already running one of our major instances. We don’t know who actually owns all of them.
The OP and a few in this thread are trying to buy an argument, I’m glad there are no takers.
It’s terrifying and super cool at the same time. I think all of the execs at these big tech companies need to rewatch the Terminator.

I knew about the cables, I didn’t know how extensive they are.
In 10 years it’ll probably be good enough to take over completely. Right now, it can take photographer and artist jobs pretty easily for news and online magazines.

They already have tbf. Which is actually fine if we had universal basic income, then AI away. We don’t though, we don’t even have universal healthcare.
I’ve been using this app and have really liked it. Please tell me that I chose well and it doesn’t have hidden problems: https://antennapod.org/
It looks like it doesn’t work across the board, but thanks for the heads up: https://adaway.org/
Ads are not blocked when on mobile data connection!
AdAway will not work reliably when on Mobile Networks like 3G. You can deactivate that proxy by going to your selected APN (On Android 4: Wireless and networks -> More… -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names) and remove the value in the proxy field. Ads in Chrome are not blocked!
Doesn’t Ublock Origin work on phones now?
They can get your info in other ways if you visit sites that have links to meta products on your phone. You probably know that though if you don’t have them on your phone, this is for others that don’t know.
Can I suggest sorting by new for your favorite communities? There are a lot of downvoters that have gamed the system.
