I am asking for any general recommendations, without any specific preference.

Then google “reddit alternatives.” If you’re not looking for a discussion with a personalized response you can easily answer your own question via your search engine of choice.

This man is crowdsourcing a psy op.

It’s kinda difficult to be objective on this topic, no matter how much you ask for it.

She looks kinda weird, but manages to make it more ‘exotic’ and less ‘unattractive.’ It comes off as unique.

To be clear, I’m not in her “order of horny men”. I’ve seen her in like one or two movies, and that’s about it.

Either way, I think you might care way too much about this. I remember a few people that everyone lost their minds over that I thought were actually full blown repulsive. I ain’t making posts about them, though.

Yeah, I don’t like Linus all that much but I do enjoy LTT’s content overall. He tends to drastically and publicly overreact to literally any criticism, and then the rest of the team gets involved and he walks it back. Whether they legitimately change his mind or just convince him he’s gotta look like he’s changed his mind I have no clue.

My favorite instances of Linus are when he’s an absolute idiot on the WAN show and we just get to see Luke’s reaction live. The hard-r thing was absolutely hilarious.

In 2022 he tweeted this.

That might be what you’re remembering, but he’s definitely addressed his views on piracy during the WAN show several times as well.

Edit: someone else posted the full context elsewhere in the thread. I’d link to that comment, but idk how on lemmy so here: https://archive.ph/VavFc

No. The owner of the media has already been paid in both of those scenarios. It makes zero difference to them whether you’re watching the ads.

Adblocking, on the other hand, is actively hurting the owner of the media because they get paid based on how many ads they can serve. If you block the ad, it isn’t served, and they don’t get paid.

Personally, I definitely think it’s piracy. I also still do it.

Installed, I love all the themes! Thanks!

Oh, nevermind. You actually linked the search. I just misunderstood lmao. I wasn’t trying to prank you.

If you remove everything after the & you’ll get people on desktop, too. The search= part.

I can preview the link, which considering how the link ends…

I’m similar, it’s just r/warthunder that keeps me stuck.

There’s a couple lemmy comms for it but they have basically no userbase.

I drastically prefer old.reddit for desktop. For mobile, I used Baconreader personally. I wasn’t a fan of either on the mobile website.

From my understanding it doesn’t matter- you can just make your own sub on the spot. There’s not (presently) a limit on subscribers or anything like that.

Yeah, please let me know how that goes. I’m curious.

Are you a moderator for any subreddits? I’ve heard that API access is still a thing if you’re a mod, so maybe that’s why?

Really? I used PowerDeleteSuite myself, but I did it a few days before they locked up the API. My understanding was that PowerDeleteSuit needed API access to work.
