Can we all just move on from Reddit? I feel like the constant bitterness toward it only brings a negative attitude to Lemmy.

Personally, I have Reddit completely blocked on my network and the only way to “access” it is to redirect to a Redlib instance. I don’t really care to hear about it anymore.

But you can do all that without selling out your users to third parties.

As a web developer that blocks all this shit, that’s the line I always use. I would just use first-party analytics from the same domain the website is hosted from. The added bonus is that people like me wouldn’t even be able to block it without blocking the entire website (at least with DNS).

This is why I’m such a cunt about blocking this stuff at the DNS and/or IP level. Google Analytics is essentially everywhere including IRS web pages with your Social Security number in the DOM.

I knew someone with the exact same story.

Nothing against petulant, self-serving assholes though (I’ve been listening to too much Meidas lately).

You don’t fucking know me bro. I’m not privileged in the least, the most I’ve borrowed from my parents is $20 and I worked for minimum wage all throughout my 20s.

Just because I’m not a deadbeat loser doesn’t mean I’m privileged.

It’s crazy because I’m liberal as fuck, totally understand how cursed housing is but I still can’t take this as sarcasm.

I’m fully living on my own despite a horrible public school system, no college education, etc. Hell, I moved to Los Angeles with nothing but a backpack and $800 and no high paying job experience.

At some point you have to figure out your life and move on; sitting around and blaming everyone else for your problems won’t get you anything.

You’re downvoted to hell but I mean, it’s true. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Oh right, I suppose that’s right.

I was honestly shocked it wasn’t “grilled.” That’s the one that sounds so incredibly stupid to me.

Quitting nicotine. I wanted to quit so that I could get in shape without almost dying, but after two months of rigorous exercise and healthy eating I just feel depressed, incredibly bored (the dopamine from exercise was nice at first but doesn’t really help now) and I’m now 10 lbs heavier than I was to begin with.
