Visting internet without an ad blocker is literally impossible these days. It’s simply mandatory.

It’s defintely that. They went even further before until it was pointed out to them that it was a bit to obvious.

Thanks. Ategon left Vacant initially after adding me as a mod since there was a reported bug with reports not always properly federating, but I haven’t noticed any issues in the last 6 months.

I’m still active and not going anywhere.

Because they got paid thousands of dollars to promote it. When you accidentally promote a scam on your channel, you then go and apologize on the same channel when you learn about it. It’s basic accountability.

They did that with their other sponsors they dropped for lesser reasons like Private Internet Access. Even the whole scandal with Asus was handled better even if they tuned out to be lairs and went back to working with them.

Being focused on your business is not an issue on its own. The infuriating part is the way postures himself as defender of that community and social media tech space in general when his actions go against them time and time again. The duplicity is what makes him unserious and untrustworthy.

That entirely depends on the client. Some doesn’t even have notifications. So I would look for a different client, a good list available here.

On lemmy-ui (official client) other than ignoring them, there isn’t. Lemmy is built around engagement instead of voting, so it’s kind of integral feature.
