Thank goodness I switched to Apple before this nonsense got deployed; their Apple Intelligence is opt-in and not being forced on users. Google and Microsoft truly botched the deployment of their LLM experiments by forcing it into first party apps and not giving users a choice.

Yeah, it’s truly wild that the rules didn’t transfer over (those were clearly written on each subreddit). The gold rush was poorly done, if it were better managed we’d have had a better default experience! Lemmy is one of several sources for unique erotic content (as gay NSFW is more scattered online). Often the only ones posting are the mods of said community so often I don’t need to block them as it’s all unique. I’ve almost fully curated my Lemmy experience now; since I’ve invested more time in this fediverse social platform.

I’ve got hundreds of straight porn related communities blocked which were a lot of repeating themes which could be combined in one! Sprinkled in are some about sports, furries, and anime porn. I like exploring All and blocking the communities that don’t speak to me. My block list is going to be huge before long, at the rate duplicates are made.

I’m chronically ill, while I would certainly help in a capacity which avoids direct combat situations; I still would help those on the left combat the fascist Republicans!

A lot of the ‘ads’ can be turned off with a toggle or two, it’s wild that people are losing their minds over this. Microsoft is shitty for making the call, but it’s an avoidable thing which doesn’t warrant this level of reaction.

People with this level of energy should be complaining about the online search not being a user facing option to turn off easily in Windows Home edition!
