Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #fuckspez, aggregated by home.social.

  1. First they lock me out of my 11 year old account, where I had posted a ton of my political cartoons. Support didn't help at all. That's how I got here.

    Now I can't even see content at all unless I log on, which I can't, and frankly won't. They're sure as hell not getting my phone number.

    I knew the #censorship and #surveillance was just going to keep getting worse, but it still pisses me off. Anything I bookmarked is now useless. Lame.

  3. My new favourite app on my phone: CleanLinks

    You can paste in a link, scan a QR code, or "share" a link from an app and it'll remove all the the tracking parameters.

    It'll also resolve redirects to show you the final URL, also cleaned. The latter is especially useful for apps like Reddit that generate tracking URLs without query params. #fuckspez

  5. @davidho @skinnylatte Yes, “NW Natural” is a relatively recent GREENWASHING re-brand of the greenhouse gas company.

    I spent an interesting few weeks calling out NW Natural’s paid astroturfers on the r/Eugene subreddit. They were quite insistent about misinforming our community.

  7. Reddit: way to Myspace/Tumblr/Twitter yourself. I was a loyal user for eleven years. That doesn't mean I want your shitty surveillance, or my work sold of to feed the AI monstrosity. You were okay while you lasted, but you weren't so good I'll turn off my extensions and give you my phone number. Fuck that.

    But thanks for making it easy not to give you anything else, I guess.

  9. @dtgeek Apparently I'm a "Power User" despite having left the platform almost a year ago. :-) I got my invitation this morning. Alas, I'm not an American and thus not eligible.

  10. Ive just created a new community on Lemmy called #BoomersBeingFools .

    I was inspired by the subreddit of the same name, however I am not at all affiliated with them.

    If you use Lemmy and have good stories of foolish boomers, or want to read good stories of foolish boomers, check out

    lemmy.world/c/boomersbeingfool

    It's very fledgling at the moment-- an hour or less old... so there isn't much there right this second... join us and make your mark!

  12. @TheConversationUS Oh, the irony. The wonderful BRILLIANT irony.

    reddit has become a toxic shithole, like almost all social media before it. To do an AMA on reddit, now that Spez has melted down and destroyed the site, well it *almost* makes me want to log in to watch.

    Almost.

  13. Bittere Wahrheit: Ich bin erst im Zuge des Reddit-Boykotts über ein interessantes Subreddit gestolpert, und während ich Reddit vorher höchstselten verwendet hab, häng ich dort jetzt jeden Tag rum 🥲 #fuckspez

  14. Although I deleted my #reddit account (because #fuckspez) I do visit daily on a habitual basis and I’ve noticed the quality of front page posts is a lot worse. Lots of content from weird subs like doordash and a lot more attention bait subs like twohottakes, ani ugly and truerateme.

    They don’t know it yet but Reddit lost. The good content is gone and many of the knowledgable people are no longer posting.

  16. a telltale sign that #reddit is gearing up for its #ipo is that if you're signed out and click "log in" now, it defaults to a registration form instead of a log in form. they're hoping people forget what's going on and just create a new account rather than taking the time to find the small "log in" text hidden at the bottom. gotta boost those user numbers for the #investors!

  18. I have the worst sleep schedule in the world.

    I also run a small business on #etsy.

    I spent my night making #fuckspez stickers, and #joinlemmy stickers.

    I also started a #rose oil steeping, to be used in making a rose #salve in a few weeks.

    Oh, and I started testing my #pumpkinspice sugar scrub.

    Later today, after I eventually crash out and sleep will be creating more #candles, and crocheting some dish cloths.

    Who knows, maybe I'll end up making some #bracelets later, too.

    The #ADD mind in action.

    Anyway, check out my store if you want to.

  21. I was a mod of a fairly popular reddit for over a year, but once they started all their bullshit about killing 3rd party apps, and disrespecting the unpaid work of their mods, I stopped modding. I was still ostensibly a mod, even though I haven't done anything other than lurk in modmail for the last month. But just now, I clicked the "leave" button, and am now officially no longer a mod. Fuck u/spez.
