  I have confused you during this whole conversation with @OmegaCloud who first said it. Sorry about that. Now the downvotes make sense!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon airs out⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You must be great at keeping secrets too!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 1 Reddit Refugee⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah that all makes sense now, thank you for explaining.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon airs out⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really. I don’t know what effect you thought posting the stereotype online in public was going to have other than to spread it. This is exactly and precisely what spreading it looks like, surely?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon airs out⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t spread such stereotypes

  I’ve got some bad news for you…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 1 Reddit Refugee⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a really good point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 1 Reddit Refugee⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been here about a year now. Good times. Your voice counts on lemmy in a way it really really doesn’t on reddit. People will engage with you because you’re human and say human things. It’s much more welcoming for people who like to talk somehow than reddit ever was. Don’t know why.

  By the way, people talk a lot about how lemmy.world censors luigi, but I use lemmy.world and see, upvote and sometimes comment on plenty of luigi stuff without mod intervention. Maybe it’s just one of two communities (subreddits) where it’s enforced.

  If you’re a communist and don’t like to hear China (or sometimes for some weird reason Russia) criticised, and if you feel that the USA is the Imperialist power that needs to be broken first, you’ll feel most at home in lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, but also lemmy.ml if you want to keep access to stuff from lemmy.world.

  If you’re progressive or liberal, you’ll be fairly happy here on lemmy.world. If you’re a conservative, I don’t know where to recommend you.

  There are various country specific ones you might find suit you for other reasons.

  All in all I’m not sure it matters a great deal as much as it sounds in my post. People from different instances turn up and say stuff anyway.

  The best advice is that you don’t have to lurk as much as you used to on reddit, you can show up and engage and the conversation will start around you.

  Yeah, their plan is: deduce what kind of thing they want, broaden it to include more sponsored products, list as many as possible to boost ad revenue, try as hard as possible to get them to cave and buy a sponsored product so we can make more money from ad revenue. Sucks as a customer. Probably sucks as a supplier, it’s the standard monopoly enshitified money extraction maximiser.

  Oh wow, I visited, and instead of the usual cookie popup (where you have to click to accept all cookies or customise them), it put a little box in the corner saying “Do not track mode detected. Storing only strictly necessary cookies.” which then automatically closed!

  My browser often detects and auto-fills the more common cookie dialogs for me, but this is the loveliest cookie experience anywhere.

  I randomly decided to pretend to want a new mobile - RELEVANT filters that ACTUALLY FILTER!

  Thank you so much for this recommendation.

  It’s tempting. I’m on holiday now until the new year!

  What’s the Toughsheet Community? Is it a local buyout or something?

  You are actually tempting me to have a train trip up there or something! I think I should resist, though!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah superb. Well done them. I’ve been to the Reebok Stadium, but I don’t think it was this century!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow, is that the same scan from years ago? Back in the day they had a good reputation for being decently priced with decent customer service. For some reason I thought they folded.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t really understand what they meant either, and just thought it was a typo in a sarcastic comment saying something like “Why wouldn’t you want things that were irritatingly sponsored?!”, so I thought it was a confusing post (until right now when I re-read it), and I still have no idea why people have been downvoting you for not understanding.

  Anyway, now I get what they were trying to say.

  They mean “If you find it on amazon but then buy it elsewhere, presumably the elsewhere has fewer of the problems with ads and sponsored content, and you can find a specific item quite easily. I’m skeptical that such a place exists, but I’d sure like to use it if it does. Where is this magical elsewhere of which you speak?”

  I salute you, lord wiggle.

  That is pretty scummy.

  Is Lowe’s like a physical amazon store?

  1. So hard to avoid signing up for Prime.
  2. Even harder to cancel your free trial of Prime if you ever caved and took the free trial.
  3. I don’t know why they don’t do Prime for free all year. I always buy more when I’m on free trial Prime. It would be an easy way to get more of my cash. But I guess enshittifying executives are going to demand more customer charges, and maybe they get more money from paid Prime subscribers than they get from increased purchasing anyway.

  Of course I would want to buy it every week. Who wouldn’t buy the book every week if they liked it so much they bought it once. Buy! Buy! Buy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, amazon used to be cheaper than other places. Now if they are, it’s only by pennies. The enshitification process continues. Hope your Benelux place thrives on good service.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. Monopoly corporations are awful.

  Yesterday was some houseware. There wasn’t anything Chinese in the listing, but it was the same sponsored wrong products again and again and again and again and again and again. I get more Chinese stuff when I look for electrical items, but sometimes the Chinese stuff works out for me.

  I clicked through to their browse all products page, and it was a thing of organised beauty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone wrote the code that puts the same listing four times per page.

  When I look for electronic stuff, that’s exactly what happens. It turns out some of it is good, some of it is awful, but there’s absolutely no way to tell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a good idea. I should do the same. They’re really annoying anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Amazon are the pushiest of the dodgy pushy salesperson.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I found what I wanted on ebay, where the same item only appeared more than once if more than one seller was selling it. Amazon repeats the same stuff over and over and over and over.
