This is partially why I keep my profile pretty baren. No display name, picture, bio, etc.
Edit: I don’t usually do this but I’m too curious, why would someone downvote this? You want me to be more attention grabbing? Oh, never mind, they hit everyone.
That’s not just YT. A lot of services and apps (e.g. amazon or xitter) you’re logged into and share links from add parameters (stuff behind the questionmark) to the link that identify in the end who has shared it.
Try to shave off as much as possible from a shared link and test if it still works. To get a feel for what you can delete from the link, try to navigate to the destination (e.g. YT-video) inside a browser with which you’re not logged into that service and which has preferrably cleared its history, cache etc. Then compare the link from that browser with the one from the browser you’re logged in with.
Fuck tankies. Seriously. I’d say fascist sympathizers and totalitarian apologists can eat shit, but they do that happily already; it’s not an insult to them, they literally love eating shit.
Typically a communist who apologizes for authoritarian regimes like the Soviet Union or China because they got communist shit done.
In other words, they prefer communism even when it means the abject suffering and/or obliteration of everyone who gets in its way. Which seems to me to completely miss the whole point.
I saw a truck yesterday with a bunch of confederate bumper stickers on it, and fantasized for the rest of the day about how I could vandalize that dumbfuck’s truck and get away with it. I really think there’s a niche needing filled. Does lemmy have an Iron Front community yet?
That many comments really does make a difference. Still, next time you see something cool online consider submitting it? It’s not as bad here as you might think.
I didn’t even comment for a long time because of the requirement to use a real email instead of disposable. I didn’t even have a real email on Reddit and I created that account long after it was popular (but before they required real email accounts). Imo Lemmy cracked down on potential fake accounts too soon and it is costing them growth.
Registration, especially requiring legitimate credentials is a huge barrier for many people who would otherwise post.
I’m sorry but I don’t really see it being that much of a hurdle with services like SimpleLogin where you can activate an address, create an account and then deactivate it again. Or am I wrong here?
I’m actually, honestly enjoying this more. Yes, pretty much every niche community I joined has died now, and that’s unfortunate, but it’s quite certainly alive anyway.
Reminds me a bit of earlier Digg, and the culture here varies a lot but I see a wide range of political opinion and cultural frames of reference compared to what Reddit was, which was a near monoculture.
I prefer this not being guided by a single company.
