      True, Pinterest has always been shit. At least I’ve never had pleasent experience there and therefore haven’t registered an account.

            Reminds me when I’m searching for artwork or clothing on google and I have to add various -assholestocksite.com to the google search results because the fucking thing is over filled with stock images

            Then I got an extension to use on chrome but I recently switched over to Firefox so I need to find an extension or script that can block stock images on firefox

            Edit:

            Here’s the same extension I used on Chrome for firefox if anyone needs it

    This is what Reddit is going to be like eventually. No more anonymous browsing on desktop or mobile anymore. All visitors need to be tracked

      Mobile browsing is almost there. Prompt to login nearly every other post you look at. And some gaming subs got flagged for supporting violence. So, Reddit wanted me to login to view those subs. No, clue if that ever changed because I stopped browsing Reddit on my phone.

      Yep. Login walls belong in the 3rd circle of internet Hell. Along with paywalls, and popups that pop behind a window or in another tab.

        I never got what did Elon change on the site that it’s worse now (when it comes to content). Yet I can now lurk without any additional steps like login or nitter. Most people from my country didn’t migrate and the most popular worldwide neither did. Unbanned people, like Trump, didn’t return. What did change?

          • The amount of right-wing hate speech has ballooned enormously under Musk.

          • Because of the above, misinformation has also increased. Much of that is pushed from Musk directly.

          • Changing the meaning of the blue checkmark from “this person is who they say they are so you can trust what they say” to “this person is dumb enough to pay for a check.”

          • Because the right-wing bigots complained about other users avoiding and blocking them, Musk now forces the blue-checks to be more visible. He’s also looking into ways to remove blocking altogether.

          • His insistence on showing Matt Walsh’s propaganda film forced the head of content safety and moderation to quit after she removed the video and he reinstated it.

          And that doesn’t count the things that don’t affect the public, like using the Trump method of not paying their bills such as their use of AWS or office leases.

      Not often. Usually the ones that interest me are an image or an announcement, both of which can usually be found elsewhere.

      you can replace “Instagram” with “imginn” in the URL and view the content, as long as the account isn’t set to private.

    Unrelated but the thing about Twitter that kinda irritates me is when it asked me if I wanted to view an account that may have NSFW work, because when I said yes, it still doesn’t display those NSFW work if you are underage, like why do you need to warn me about that in the first place if you know I’m underage LMAO

      Do people really set their real birth date on online services? Would only set it on Facebook tbh. Or when you need to pay, etc.

    That’s odd, i usually can open posts even without account and view them unless it’s nsfw. It usually only asks me to login if i try to do anything more.
