Can you provide more info how it’s easy to accidentally wipe? I’ve only done a transfer once, but it was by installing authenticator on the new phone and logging in, then deleting the other one on the old phone after testing that the codes work.
I think there are levels to it. Adblockers, while still not being used by the majority of people, has a pretty significant chunk of users and is becoming more common to regular people, not just privacy-concerned users. So I think DNS level blocking is fine. You start to stand out when you add more privacy and anonymity tools on top of it, like Decentralyes, for example.
I think they are fine for posts that don’t need engagement. The problem is, those bots also repost stuff of which comments need to be seen by the OP like AITA or posts asking for advice, things that the OP will never see if you comment here on lemmy. Those reposts are useless. Those bots should only be used for static content (pics, videos, etc.).
I think the creator of the second one you mentioned (alien.top) halted the project for the time being due to the extreme backlash they got from lemmy users about their methodology.
Cut down on my sugar intake. I love sweets so much that my teeth are ruined because of it. I’m currently going through some extensive dental work to fix what I have left. I’ll start reducing my sugar intake (mostly desserts and sweet snacks) and maybe switch to fruits for any sweet cravings.
