https://feddit.de/instances says we are blocked. I think it's still possible to view and interact with feddit communities from our instance, but those interactions do not propagate to the feddit server.

I use Kiwi out of necessity. The modern web is unusable without some way to block ads, cookie popups, and sticky elements. It's especially worse on mobile because every other website wants you to use their app.
Creating history here.
This is a great YSK and a great website. Ever since learning about the granny knot, I've noticed that many people around me do it unknowingly.
First it's the number of sign ups, then it's the posts and likes, then it's the number of eyeballs grabbed and the ad revenue. This kind of metric chasing that these platforms encourage is one of the reasons why they become so toxic.
The actual community name hasn't changed from [email protected], right? I guess changing that would mean moving to a new community.
From what I understand, those shadow profiles are based on information that Meta gets about you from other users, or through things like cookies and tracking pixels.
Suppose that Meta builds a shadow profile for each fedi user, then how would they link it back to you? They cannot get your IP address from just being federated with your home server, and they cannot inject a tracking pixel to your server's website. Is there another way that they could use your fedi activity to serve you targeted ads?
I'm interested in seeing how the enshittification of Threads will unfold. It's all super neat and cozy right now with a clean UI, no ads, not many sign up nags, and such. When they build up their userbase, we'll see how the platform devolves.
I don't fully understand—would Meta be able to serve you targeted ads based on your non-Threads fediverse activities? Where would these ads appear? How do they know it's you just from your fediverse accounts?
Strange, I'm not sure why. Maybe it's just a bug? If you open the reviews section on the Play Store page for the game, and check the "Show reviews for: This device model" checkbox, do you see any reviews from other Pixel 5 users there?
I don't know, all the file icons on my computer look like that...
It's a good UX improvement imo. Previously it just didn't show unavailable apps, leading people to install fake clones.
