Mastodon feels like a fucking funeral.

You're clearly nowhere near the good parts, then.

In my experience, once when you find your way into the correct circles the microblog-verse makes the "shitposting" of Lemmy look like r/memes. I do agree that discoverability could be better though, it took me 4-5 months before I got the hang of it. And now I barely check Lemmy despite my Lemmy account being older than my earliest microblog account (under this name, anyway).

One important thing is that your instance matters quite a bit more than here. Starting on a large general purpose instance (especially if it's mastodon.social) and just following Large Accounts and Nobody Else like most people recommend for some reason is just setting yourself up for disappointment. Instead, get on a smaller interest-specific instance (rule of thumb: the weirder the domain the better your experience will be!) and follow the local timeline (and on good software, the bubble/recommended timelines). And post stuff/interact with people. Don't be that one person that does nothing but boost news bots and occasionally butt into replies of people asking rhetorical questions they already know the answer for.

(Perhaps Lemmy is better at news or whatever, I wouldn't know as I block all news communities I can find -- I just don't see the point as all the discussion around most news ends up predictable, unproductive (not that internet communities necessarily need to be "productive"), and unnecessarily angry)

Also in a world with usable™ Misskey forks and Akkoma I think the limitations of Mastodon the software are really starting to show, and I urge anyone who's been disappointed in Mastodon to try other microblog software. (Quotes are already a thing if you know where to look! So are emoji reactions, because people have more emotions than :star:)

Twemoji is overused (self.unpopularopinion)

For those who don't know: Twemoji is the emoji font created by Twitter and subsequently adopted by literally every other project out there (Discord perhaps being the most infamous) because of it's permissive licensing (and the fact that it had the budget to keep up with Unicode updates).

It's also the most boring, soulless, corporate emoji font to ever exist right after Apple's emoji and post-blob Google emoji.

Google's emoji also has a similar permissive license which is how projects like https://github.com/C1710/blobmoji can exist, yet everyone's going for the crap one.

Now that Musk has Musked all over Twitter, I geniunely hope people will look into funding alternative emoji fonts with actual personality in them, but I know full well that isn't going to happen.

i've been filtering hexbear's communities from my all feed with uBO^1 because of the tankie vibes, but outside their own communities hexbear people seem to behave themselves reasonably well. considering lemmygrad is defederated i can expect them being defederated as well just because of the politics, but they don't seem too brigade-y to the communities here.

to be fair i've been blocking all the politics and politic-adjacent communities left right and center so perhaps i'm just not seeing the bad parts of hexbear, but shitposting wise they seem alright.

the only real gripe i have with hexbear is that lemmy's handling of emoji in general suck and man do they like their emojis. but that's a software issue more than anything

[-] ShittyKopper 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

have you ever searched "ad blocker" on your browser of choice's extension store and scrolled down? or had a cheap/free VPN that advertised ad blocking functionality?

those. for some reason people install those. and they never get updates.

(some of them are actual malware too)

This is a Lemmy community you (probably accidentally) ended up following. The interop between Lemmy communities and Mastodon is terrible and it ends up boosting comments out of context.

There are likely various edge cases I've missed, and I am not too sure on performance compared to a purpose-built userscript, but these seem to work well enough for my use cases.

Throw these to My filters in uBO settings. May also work with AdGuard, but I can't support you there as I don't use it. Other ad blockers probably won't work, but then why are you using an ad blocker that isn't uBO anyway?

Remove the exclamation mark preceding the rules and adjust the placeholders accordingly. If you need multiple filters copy paste the appropriate lines.

You may need to replace the lemmy.* part if your home instance is on a different (sub)domain. I'm not using .lemmy-site and a global selector for performance reasons.

! Post filters use :has instead of :upward to take advantage of native CSS support on browsers that implement it.
! If :has is not implemented, uBO will emulate it via JS. :upward might be more efficient on those cases.

! Lemmy: Filter post by link domain
! lemmy.*##.post-listing:has(.fst-italic[href*="example.com"])

! Lemmy: Filter post by keyword in title
! lemmy.*##.post-listing:has(.post-title:has-text(/\bkeyword\b/i))

! Lemmy: Filter post by author instance
! lemmy.*##.post-listing:has(.person-listing[title$="@example.com"])

! Lemmy: Filter post by community instance
! lemmy.*##.post-listing:has(.community-link[title$="@example.com"])

! Lemmy: Filter post by instance (author or community)
! lemmy.*##.post-listing:has([title$="@example.com"]:is(.person-listing, .community-link))

! Lemmy: Filter post by community name (any remote instance)
! lemmy.*##.post-listing:has(.community-link[title^="!politics@"])

! Lemmy: Filter post by community name (home instance, though in this case you can just use lemmy's own blocking)
! lemmy.*##.post-listing:has(.community-link[title="!politics"])

! Lemmy: Filter comment by keyword 
! lemmy.*##.md-div:has-text(/\bkeyword\b/i):upward(.comment)

! Lemmy: Filter comment by author instance
! lemmy.*##.person-listing[title$="@example.com"]:upward(.comment)

! Lemmy: Filter both by author instance
! lemmy.*##.person-listing[title$="@example.com"]:upward(:is(.post-listing, .comment))

they're using the css :visited attribute on a link to a HN thread to display the message.

having passively followed asahi for some time (too poor to own a mac to actually try it out) the fact that they have to resort to shit like this is gross, but i 100% put the blame on HN for being an unmoderated trashfire (and explicitly bypassing the referrer based blocking asahi first had instead of, idk, actually moderating their site)

2nd mastodon that hates the first one = the *omas (pleroma, akkoma)
3rd mastodon somehow = the misskey forks (firefish, iceshrimp, apparently foundkey's still vibing)

[-] ShittyKopper 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

(The F-Droid branch at least) will "shim" the trackers, meaning rather than attempting to dive into the code of every single update and remove all the tracking hooks, it instead replaces the tracking code with blank functions that don't do anything but exist just so there is something there when Firefox attempts to call into them so it doesn't crash.

Naive scanners that simply read the list of classes that are in the program will see them and go "ooh there's a tracker here", but they can't distinguish between actual tracking code and these "neutered" versions that don't do anything.
