Setting Android private DNS to either Adguard's or Mullvad's AdBlock DNS (or whoever else) can help a bit, but won't catch all ads, especially ones embedded like on YouTube.
It has nothing to do with it, but I was commenting on a parent level comment to add more info about the stunts they pull that reduce their credibility, making it relevant to the parent comment, but not the overall post.
I just looked through those and they all have stuff in the microblogging section for me, and hydroponics has 3 as it said, it may actually be with domain block or language filter like they said, I don't have any set myself
This is really nice, just installed it and so many little nitpicks I had are completely gone.
Are there any plans to add a feature to make it move the comment box to right under the original post instead of at the bottom of the comments? That's really my only gripe about kbin that bugs me quite a bit.
There's a few tools for it but this one's my favorite https://mastodon.fediverse.observer/dailystats
It's an okay idea really, it has its pros and cons. It can get complicated if someone signs in with Mastodon and then moves to a different Mastodon instance, and there's also the question of what happens if that Mastodon account gets banned (assuming an unjust ban).
Really just the same issues as a sign in with Google button, minus the privacy issue. Very convenient, but not without its potential issues
While I'm on the microblogging side of fedi I'm gonna be staying far away from Threads, I like that there's more attention on ActivityPub now, and they're free to make it if they want, but I just can't see myself using it really.
I don't think anyone disagrees with that, but YouTube today has a lot more ads, especially spammy ones, than YouTube 7 years ago did. This is an issue with them using a business model that doesn't scale very well.
I seriously don't understand why they're so aggressive about this.
I would consider maybe turning off my adblocker if they ran single ads and didn't make them so long, and actually did some curation on their ads so I didn't see a fake MrBeast scam ad or political ad every time. Yet they don't, so I will continue to find ways to block ads until I no longer can.
If anyone here plans to leave one too, make sure to check on it every now and then. In situations like this some app devs will complain to Google and Apple about "brigading" and they'll remove pretty much every low star rating made on certain dates, so you'll have to make your review again.
I always turn them on entirely because of games like Skyrim where you're talking to someone and 4 other NPCs walk up and start chatting right beside you and you can't hear anything
