- Comment on Bots ruined an once useful website with fake credentials that lead to nothing 6 months ago:
when i was still in school, we always were allowed to used the computers from time to time to browse the internet. and websites had ads, hut it usually was 1-2 banners… it didn’t feel that extreme overloaded and i even looked at them. I thought they were uninteresting, but I didn’t care much. this days i have a allergic reacting against all ads. going online without a adblock feels like websites slap me with a huge block of wood or stone directly into my face over and over and over… it’s crazy.
i really can’t understand how this days people can still not go crazy without a adblocker.

i’m almost 30 and was using (or trying to use…) the site when i was around 14-16 years old. dunno when the site first released thought. i stopped bothering after trying countless hours for weeks to use the site… but people just spammed fake accounts.

i know that site from when i was still a teen and even the it was 99% fake creds. finding just one single working login for in a week was like finding a treasure for me.
- Comment on This laptop released in 2016 no longer receive OS updates. Which means I can't update Chrome Browser 6 months ago:
yupp, and i hate that. i use a firefox version that don’t supports private fields, and because a common js lib uses them a lot of websites suddenly stopped working for me just because of this bs. instead of just using a normal variable they use private fields and kill a ton of older browsers by doing so. and most website owners don’t care so asking them just leads to them saying “just upgrade bro”.

most websites just check the browser useragent, and if you spoof the useragent, it works. most websites are blocking it artifically even if the website works fine with your browser. so i think it’s worth a shot if there are chrome plugins who can spoof the browser useragent.
- Comment on An update to how many boring, repetitive communities I need to block to make Lemmy enjoyable 6 months ago:
why? because you don’t want to see certain things in your feed. people come hwre for various things. some people come here to mentally relax, so they don’t want to hear about negative topics like wars or people Fighting all the time. other people just are not interested in certain topics or posts but have them flood their feed.
example: i come here for relaxing mentally and to see posts about topics I’m interested in. so I don’t want to see negative stuff like causalities in wars, hearing people complain what bad things they experienced this day, what stuff has gone wrong in their life and other negative stuff. another example is lemmynsfw where I don’t want to see males showing their genitals to me since I’m interested in women, not guys. so i block communitys who are about such things.
short: because people don’t want ro see certain stuff. that’s why there is a block function. lemmy without a block function wouldn’t be useable since you get flooded with tons of posts you aren’t interested in by default without any blocks.
