I’m very curious… Why do you feel locked in by raindrop? I like that it can regularly upload exports to my Google drive and I can Always download them as html and csv.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

I paid for no ads and that’s it. I don’t need sync ultra, it’s cheap, but I don’t need it. Ads didn’t bother me, but I had paid before for the reddit app, and the Lemmy one is also great, so I wanted to support the developer.
Sometimes I use reddit too, and I swear to god the mobile app is so filled with bugs left and right that haven’t been fixed for years. It’s hard to tolerate. Reddit is best in web searches, because there are many relevant discussions. But I’m so glad kagi added a fediverse lens so I can also search Lemmy as I do reddit for relevant discussions. They also have a forum lens and a discussion search mode which is so useful because it searches many other forums and it helps filter out all those useless listicles, websites that copy others and other websites that contain keywords to popular issues just to get traffic.
Yeah, I miss the size of the reddit community too. But, I found a silver lining with Lemmy’s community, I still get my fix but since it’s not that big it forced me to reduce my intake and now I’m less addicted and used to just opening the “reddit” app as I used to. But also one thing I found useful is to browse the “top six hours” in everything tab.
I pay for the services and apps I care for and I still want to be up, developers need to eat and for the huge corporate bullshit I don’t give a shit about I have adblockers such as DNS66.
It is just another industry as long as it is done safely. I know it’s filled with a lot of issues, controversies and problems. Like production companies and websites abusing girls, models etc., such as “girls do porn”. And other actors abusing other actors.
Porn is acting, just because somebody works in porn doesn’t mean harassment doesn’t exist towards them.
I know it may still be taboo in many circles and there’s still a shame in the world about it. But as with anything in life, some people are okay with it, some people are not, some people choose to ignore it.
It’s definitely clear that addiction and overconsumption of porn exists and it does affect humans and their relationships, and it’s pretty clear all porn companies have in mind to increase profits and this means that it’s in their interest for customers to alienate their relationships and over rely on porn and it’s associated products to not only get their horny fix but to fulfill other emotional needs, I mean look at all the AI Chatbots that are being created and the AI Virtual girlfriend experiences. But, I don’t feel like this is the only industry that has these issues and that it’s the only industry where it’s goals aren’t what’s best for the health of the consumer. Exaggeration and endless pursuit of growth and profits will do this to every industry.
I feel like, with everything in our life we should do our best to be informed and to actively be aware and pursue moderation, but I’m also aware it’s not easy and it’s not the way humans work.
As much as I say these things I’m not a saint or perfect and I don’t always follow them. I myself have an addiction or a mild addiction.
