So the only way to opt out of this hell is to kill your internet connection?

No. It’s actually simple to disable. On the Roku TV just go to:

Settings > Privacy > Select Smart TV Experience and disable “Use Info from TV Inputs”

You mean to tell me Elon’s little neo-Nazi shithole might not be properly moderating content to stay on the right side of hate speech laws? …Yeah that’s not surprising.

Normal people: Serling. Although it’s often understandably confused it with ‘Sterling’ as that’s a more familiar word and sounds very similar.

Idiots: No, no, no, I am from a parallel universe.

I still remember how annoyed I was when reddit disabled that. It was a useful data point, especially in hobby communities or other places where it can be difficult for newbies to judge the quality of advice/answers they’re receiving so I was thrilled to see it here on Lemmy. Going by upvotes alone is not always showing you an accurate picture of a community’s reaction to a comment.

lol Jesus tap dancing christ.

None of which work anymore.

Edit: Again, downvoting me doesn’t make you any less wrong.

As of July 12th, 2023, Libreddit is currently not operational as Reddit’s API changes, that were designed to kill third-party apps and content scrapers who don’t pay large fees, went into effect. Read the full announcement here.

Edit: Downvoting me doesn’t make you any less wrong.

None of those work anymore after the API changes. Which is the entire point of my original comment.

Link one. I’ll wait.

Yes, and third party clients, specifically alternate web UIs are not available on Reddit.

Third party client support. Specifically alternate web UI’s focused on desktop like Alexandrite because if I’m being honest here, I think the comment nesting in Lemmy’s offical web UI lacks enough distinction to be useful on desktop (its clearly optimized for mobile browsers). Following conversations can be frustrating on desktop. Without Alexandrite I’d most likely be a mobile app (Voyager) user only.

Edit: No, third party web front ends for reddit do not work anymore. Remember those pesky API changes that went into effect in July and were the entire reason the majority of us are on lemmy now? Yeah, that didn’t just kill off third party mobile apps.

Mahershala Ali said it’s still in development yesterday. But who knows… I love Blade and think he’s a great pick for the role so it’s super frustrating that it was announced four years ago and it’s still two years away at the earliest… Dude’s gonna be 51 by the time the character even shows up in the MCU. So either Blade isn’t gonna be around very long or we’re looking at a daywalker that’s gonna need to use an actual walker to get around by the second movie.

Oh fuck yeah new JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOO

I’d rather limit defederation unless it’s about something very clearcut

Alien.top is a spam instance. This is as “clearcut” a reason to defederate as it gets.

Agreed, screw the person running that instance. If I wanted to see the front page of reddit I’d go to reddit. They aren’t helping Lemmy grow, they’re just a spammer.

Breaking news: Thousands of Russian women simultaneously fall out of sixth story window.

And then of course beginning in 1945 the ratlines assured the freedom of many nazi war criminals in Argentina. There are plenty of reasons for Trump to like Argentina during the first half of the 20th century.
