Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !neuro
This script restores REAL NAMES in comments instead of @user-xxxxxx, I am so sick of that shit, I hope revanced will have this function soon. (Edit: I guess that will never happen)
Honestly I’ve heard more about spez and Reddit on the fediverse than I ever did on Reddit itself. The best way for us to move on is to actually move on.
I don’t care about it as long as it’s not driving traffic. I like keeping up with Reddits slow descent into madness, and I like that I don’t have to give Reddit traffic to do so. I doubt I am alone in that sentiment given the amount of upvotes and posts related to such topics.
Oh trust me, I understand there is something about watching their descent into madness. I wouldn’t be subscribed here if I didn’t want to see it. I was more pointing out that it’s like when people would Facebook stalk their ex. Like sure you aren’t interacting with them directly in any way but the only way to fully move on is to drop the morbid curiosity. (Again, I’m also subscribed here watching the dumpster fire)
I’ve been paying $25 a month to run into relatives that all have their trees set to PRIVATE.
They’re my cousins / second-cousins, and I’m not sure who their parents are or how they fit into my tree.
The site lets you look at US Census data… from the 1950s or some shit. So I can piece together family information upwards half a dozen ways to my grandparents and their parents and so on, but I can’t seem to get any info from the system for anyone born after the 1950s.
I keep paying because I’m trying to solve a spooky family mystery.
I was a spooky family mystery. There are records out there, particularly for the US, but you have think laterally and use resources outside their walled garden. US census records are only released after (IIRC) 70 years, so getting the 1950 census was a pretty big development. Beyond that, there are obituaries, phone books, newspapers, yearbooks, and others. I can even say from experience that the creepy "Radaris" style sites are usually leveraging some kernels of valid information in the free teaser data they show.
I wish they would give us a user setting to completely hide shorts from ever showing. I have never watched a short and I will never watch a short. It’s just not the type of content for me. If I wanted TikTok style videos, I would download TikTok. It’s crazy how much stuff YouTube tries to cram down your throat even as a premium subscriber.
Edit: also just a great example of companies jumping on a bandwagon to make a quick buck. YouTube is a well established video hosting and streaming service, they didn’t need to spend how every many millions of dollars adding shorts (not that they would have bothered spending that money on the user/creator experiences anyways)
I agree with you so much. The only time I ever click on shorts are accidents. I hate them. I don’t use instagram, tiktok, anything like that. I don’t want to see shorts. They are horribly crammed and well, way too short. Leave me alone and stop autoplaying on my tv.
