I’m the sage and the nihilist at the same time

Like yeah, I disable cookies and use an ad blocker, but I'm not building my own Linux distro, paying for six VPNs, and using TOR just too look at the Terraria wiki.

Is this a reference to recent Lemmy drama? If so, I get it!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, don't keep it to yourself, what's the recent Lemmy drama?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Look into the "search engine to compete with DDG" post

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Darn, I was hoping it was some inexplicable Terraria drama :P

Thanks

If I can't earn money for doing nothing they shouldn't either. I fight back every way I can. That's why it's important to protect your privacy.

I seriously think that they litelarly have no idea what to do with that much data. I mean, personalized ads, yeah, sure, but other than that... crimes maybe... can't really see any other use for it...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I'd imagine it's not practical to do anything on a personal level (aside from personalized ads) unless you really wanna look into one person in particular, so it's probably more used for market research and whatnot. Easier to do a survey if you don't have to ask anyone.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Personalized ads aren't even practical. I'm not careful with data about me, and the targeted ads I see suck. If Google knows so much about me, they really ought to be better at it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yeah, but still... is there so much money in surveys to actually keep all of that data?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Random wrong place I know, but dont wanna bother more people then necessary: Why cant i see upvotes/downvotes?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Did you perhaps accidentally disable it on your account settings?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Afaik instance's have the ability to deactivate that.

So either that or you have it disabled in your account settings

Third possiblity: your app/frontend just doesn't pull the data for that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I read in some other post that some lemmy instances display the upvote/downvote ratio since the latest software update, so maybe because of that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Can't give a precise answer since I'm on an app that might bypass that, but either your instance or the instance you're viewing can disable viewing votes.
