Ad companies can’t handle the idea that people don’t want to be hit with ads every 5 minutes. “Well, it’s just BAD ads”… no, it’s having my experience constantly interrupted.

The ones who stay probably do see themselves as powerless, which is a pretty self-fulfilling prophecy.
Comments are heavily focused on the title of the article and the opening paragraphs. I’m more interested in peoples’ takes on the second half of the article, that highlights how the goals companies are touting are at odds with the most likely consequences of this trend.

Well said, and so true!
@pixelpusher220 Hmm, I haven’t ran into anybody using readit.buzz yet, but I’m willing to try to help you out! The first thing I would do is make sure that if there is an option for federation to turn it on. Maybe ask within the readit.buzz community how to do this. This is early days for a lot of the tools and instances springing up, so there are still kinks being worked out possibly as well there.
I know I can reference and link to my sub by referencing it as @DwarfFortress
@DwarfFortress@kbin.social
Maybe clicking on that above within readit.buzz will direct you to be able to subscribe?
In a pinch if you wanted to view the magazine directly, it is at https://kbin.social/m/DwarfFortress
ETA: The magazine names are usually case sensitive
No, you had it right the first time. I’m saying if you subscribe to a magazine, there’s a good chance that magazine is autofederating content based on tags, so you are getting more from the magazine than just what is deliberately posted into that magazine.
I’m not sure how Lemmy works, but over on kbin I can set up my magazine (collection of threads similar to a subreddit) to autofederate content based on certain tags. For example, I run the DwarfFortress magazine, and I have it set up to automatically federate content in the fediverse based on the existence of a #dwarffortress tag. Now, I haven’t seen that happen yet, so I’m not 100% if it works or not, but it looks like the option is potentially there.
allow ordinary users to vote moderators out more easily if their decisions aren’t popular. He said the new system would be more democratic and allow a wider set of people to hold moderators accountable.

/r/ModCoord is polling subs, a lot of support still for indefinite blackout
I use snownews in Linux, and had just figured out how to subscribed to RSS feeds of Reddit subs a week and a half ago. Whoops.
@DarkFox That’s good to hear, it wasn’t shitty enough as it was.
