sometimes the feed aggregator will bypass the paywall for ya 👀
i also like that reading the articles in my feed reader doesn't give away any tracking information. can get the same info without visiting the source website at all. and when i do open links there's no source to show where i opened it from.
ultimately it's so much easier having most news sources in one place instead of subscribing to hella newsletters.
This has been working for me. Sometimes it's just the country I randomly connected to and need to pick another random one.
they will give incredibly private information to the highest bidder
as someone who has noticed far too many articles mentioning police having killed people who look like me and my family members, this is what us black folks like to see.
It helps to have a meaty subscription list to switch to for when All goes through a meme-y period, but overall I agree and was just thinking of this yesterday actually. Except I was thinking about art and how I used to see more art on the frontpage at Reddit. Would love to see more OC art get hot over here too (in addition to hot topics of course).
we already have this feature on the Tusky app but I'm glad Mastodon is adding it to the native app
as an american i must say i HATE this as well. people ask me why i use military time and i say it's because there are 24 hours in the day so it makes much more sense to me. and that in other parts of the world they call it international time with the military having nothing to do with it.
makes me wanna scream. thank you for letting me go off.
that's fair
Nothing about the fediverse as an alternative, surprise surprise.
my bet is one of their bots made this and they don't even know this ad is out in the wild until someone brings it up
