I saw discord in there as well as smart TV platforms

Lol which moron downvoted you? NO I LIKE MY BILLIONAIRE PROPAGANDA KEEP THE LIES AND OUTRAGE COMING

😂 it’s always interesting to click the “why are you showing me this” button to see just how wide a net they’re casting. (Before ruthlessly clicking it to waste the budget on their stupid untargeted ads, then blocking it)

Hi! I work with google ads every day, it’s my job, and I have a business running ads for other small businesses.

Guess what, I use an ad blocker!

If all ads were innocent businesses trying to sell things I’m interested in, and they all had their targeting set up correctly, it’d be great. Unfortunately, all my ads are “you are male and under 60” and that’s as sophisticated as the targeting has been set to, so they’re totally irrelevant, terrible ads.

Also, my other issue is that some advertising platforms have really low standards for what you’re allowed to show. Google at least has some standards and is sometimes overzealous with its automated disapprovals, which hopefully makes its platform a little better. But I don’t get to choose which platform ads I see when I visit someone’s site (and Google pays very little when compared to other platforms)

Fancy leaving your country and your home because someone else wants it?

I’ve had this multiple times.

Tried to leave a big detailed helpful negative review and it gets flagged for being suspicious, with no copy of the review attached so I have to write it all again. And then it gets removed again.

I just looked in my emails. The exact phrasing was “We have reviewed our decisions and concluded that the product you received is authentic. As a result, we removed your review specific to this product. This ensures other customers see reviews that reflect the current shopping experience.”

Most recently it happened with a body trimmer, where I never questioned the inauthenticity, and then a zojirushi travel mug that I genuinely believe was a fake, and attached a lot of evidence.

yeah, TONS of furries too. It used to be you could just block lemmynsfw.com (and have an alt account just for that instance if you like) but now new communities are popping up on random instances. I never know whether to block the whole instance or just the community every time.

Yeah I’m currently browsing everything and filtering out communities I absolutely don’t want to see. Unfortunately that’s the experience most new users will have here on lemmy too, and think that represents the vibe across the whole platform.

They are over here too! A mod on world news on lemmy.ml was saying that Ukraine probably bombed their own people yesterday. Then when evidence came out that it was Russia he deleted his comment and everyone’s involvement with the conversation calling him out

AoE 4 form relic was so close to 2 that it felt like a 3d remake , and plays wonderfully.

So frustrating how the series went. Dawn of war with all the expansions and factions installed was fantastic. And the dark crusade campaign with the total war style world battle map, perfect!

I really wish they just made an up to date dow1. Maybe don’t encourage monetizing individual chapters, I like that you could paint your own. I was happy to pay for a whole new race and a new campaign in a DLC package but paying for cosmetics can fuck off.

Going to?

I look at “everything” and it shows everything people around the world have made, good and bad, how dare they!

I want to use zero amount of effort and have it catered to exactly what I like! But I don’t want to be tracked or have any algorithms knowing what I like!

But surely any social media is the same? The UI has always been terrible with hard to follow comment chains, it seems like just a bad platform before any of this, I just don’t see the appeal.

I remember it used to just be “hey this is where Stephen Fry tweets his thoughts in shortform” but why can’t he do that on Facebook,on Reddit, mastadon,Lemmy, Instagram,tiktok, and godknows what other platforms there are out there.

If one person can make an account, and another person can follow you, that’s all twitter seems to offer, and everyone does that now.

That’s still a fuck ton of people using the platform. WHY

On sync I’m able to filter out any domain, if that’s an option you’re open to.
