[Dead Company Refugee] I've not seen a single ad... (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

First post on the glorious Fediverse. I joined the moment the protest start, and I have to say, I have yet to see a single advertisement, targetted or otherwise, sans a few honest (fedditors? Don't hang me) offering commission work. I was born just in time to see the death of IRC and the birth of targetted advertising and social media headed by corporate interest. Mark my words, Lemmy, I ain't going back. I really hope this is the start of a shift to a renewed, decentralized internet.

PS. Who do I donate to? Is there a patreon for Lemmy or general instances?

Wait, you were using that other site without blocking ads? How and also why?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I was referring to mobile apps, which are notoriously difficult to filter ads from.

(on android, idk if there is a ios version) you can block ads system wide with blokada 5 (there is also 6 in the playstore but I believe that isn't free)
