Sorts by controversial

lolcatnip ,

I assume you’re just joking, but does that feature even exist in any Lemmy clients? Seems like the number of servers that don’t allow downvotes would make it useless anyway.

Sync user: So far sync is unable to

SeedyOne ,

This is something that could be added to a client some day even if it won’t work on some instances. I’d use it on occasion.

NatoBoram ,

It wouldn’t work on posts with more than 50 comments, unfortunately. That’s something the back-end has to offer.

… unless the client decides to proxy all calls and make its own aggregate…

neocamel , in I don't need it... 👀

What I’m still struggling with is if it’s still ok with my mortal compass to use Reddit to find information I know will be there. Specifically, product reviews.

I’m no longer contributing content on Reddit, and I’m not passively browsing either, but how do y’all feel about tapping reddit’s wealth of information?

UhBell OP ,
@UhBell@lemmy.world avatar

Do whatever you want, bud. If the info is helpful to you, who is anybody to say you can’t access it?

Just after you do repost it here

@kazerniel@lemmy.world avatar

Why not? I still look up information there too, but I use an adblocker, so it’s not like Spez is profiting from me.

If you don’t want to give them traffic, you can always visit the search result URL through the Wayback Machine or Archive.today.

kenbw2 ,

Why does it matter what we think?

unscholarly_source ,

I subscribe to RSS feeds for subreddits that don’t exist on Lemmy just so that I don’t give them any clicks or ad revenue.

For answers to questions or problems that are only available on Reddit, I turn on my favorite privacy browser, I hold my breath, go to that specific post, get my answer, and gtfo asap.

Like the saying goes, never stick it in crazy. But if you have to, be protected.

zuluwalker ,

Good way to keep track of deals/promos and freebies on some subs, just add .rss to the link, input in Feeder, and you’re good to go!

unscholarly_source ,

Exactly my current setup :)

What’s the difference between Hot and Top?

UhBell OP ,
@UhBell@lemmy.world avatar

Hot prefers newer posts that are gaining votes and comments. Top prefers the most votes within a specific timeframe.

@will6789@feddit.uk avatar

The Lemmy documentation explains the different sort options pretty well: join-lemmy.org/docs/…/03-votes-and-ranking.html

The difference between “Hot” and “Active” is probably the most confusing to most users.

SeedyOne ,

Getting bad gateway on the link but thanks for sharing it. I’ll check it later.

“Also what’s the ethical structure behind literally enslaving a species of creatures and forcing them to cook our meals and keep our homes?”

“Well Harry you see, they’re lesser than us and also they like it that way”

“…”

Skoobie , in See?? I'm supporting togetherness
@Skoobie@lemmy.world avatar

Personally, I just think the moral middle ground would be to be the person that slaughters and butchers the animals you eat. It would allow the most respect for all parties imo.

chetradley ,

The moral middle ground is to not kill animals (or pay someone to) if you don’t need to.

Skoobie ,
@Skoobie@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know. That feels a bit off-center to me rather than middle considering one end of the spectrum is “kill nothing ever” and the other end is “How many endangered animals can I make extinct just for funsies.” If everyone killed what they ate themselves, manually, I bet we’d have a bunch more vegetarians hanging around.

chetradley ,

I think it’s morally neutral to ask why we kill animals. Do you kill the animals you eat?

Skoobie ,
@Skoobie@lemmy.world avatar

I agree that question is morally neutral. And not yet, I don’t, but that is the long term goal. I’ve got the land I would need and am working on fencing. In the interim, I have switched to meat raised and butchered by hand.

chetradley ,

By your definition, are you morally evil, trying to become neutral?

Skoobie ,
@Skoobie@lemmy.world avatar

Hmmm, I hadn’t considered it in those particular terms, previously. I would definitely say my actions are less moral than they would be if I was doing the raising and butchering myself. Evil feels harsh but if we are using clear cut terms like good, neutral and evil, then I have to put my current actions in the evil column. And since my entire argument is based on a moral middle ground, I would say yes. I am attempting to move into morally neutral territory.

jaackf ,

Surely one side would be “kill nothing” and the other would be “kill animals”?

If I lose my ad blocker it’s like losing access to the internet for me

LambLeeg ,

I’d even specify that. Loosing uBlock Origin on Firefox is like getting rid of the web per se.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Pretty much, and I think this highlights just how important it is to have at least two independently developed browser engines. If Chromium becomes the only game in town that would effectively let Google, which makes most of its revenue from ads, decide how we access the internet. That would be an absolutely terrible scenario to be in.

railsdev ,

Block at the DNS level. It won’t matter which browser you use.

SilentStorms ,

For real, NextDNS was a game changer. It’s not hard to set up either.

Lininop ,

Does that work for the ads in YouTube videos? We have messed around with pie hole at our house but it doesn’t work for videos.

Chronova ,

I just went to a website that gave me a full page ad with no X button to close out of it.

Hell no. Shit is going to get so bad if they remove ad-blockers. Fastest way to kill their user-base.
