I love the fact that both my ublock origin & pihole detect and block absolutely no trackers when I’m on kbin (I’m sure the lemmy users are just as fortunate).
Another shit Reddit moment, I’ve not missed it at all.

Surprisingly 2% blocked at lemmy.world. Cloudflare insights which isn't the worst tbh.
They've had issues with CSAM and DDOS attacks - they're probably using Cloudflare to help mitigate that.
I guess that depends on the instance and its admins, rather than Lemmy as a platform.
It does. 0% here over on lemm.ee.
To the surprise of no one here, they are continuing to make reddit worse.
@CoffeeAddict guess we'll see another kbin/lemmy + masto bump soon.
just wait until they start monetizing karma. it's gonna turn that site into a race for the bottom
Don't forget their plan to allow users kick out mods and then imagine how people with monetary interests will conspire to kick out mods that stop from from maximising their profits...
Somehow missed that and well... fuckin yikes. Reddit is incredibly easy to bot, this will get abused in short order.
I hate that you’re right.
I hate it too. As much as I enjoy Lemmy, Reddit was my go-to social platform thing for a long time. I hate to see it being mismanaged by an incompetent fool like Spez.
Same. It’s heartbreaking. But people were/are not ready/able to save it so we have to move on. As sad as it is.
At the moment my main gripe is that people still refuse to move to other platforms despite it all. I want to scream "It's not going to get better, folks!" at them all of the time. But I am too tired to do it.
I wonder would one reason be that if "the most" of the community is there, it's just better to be there with the folks and the content rather than take a leap to a much smaller place and feel small or lonely or something like that...
(I haven't used kbin/lemmy for more than an hour - seeing whether this is a new place to stay)
Yes, of course. The network effect is buoying up Reddit as it is and probably will be until a critical mess of users leave it for good. Besides the obvious truth that Lemmy/Kbin are slower and that's not what Redditors are used to who have learned to expect something new every time they update their frontpage.
They value your privacy.
That's why they'll sell it to the highest bidder. And the second-highest bidder. And anyone else that wants it.
I guess I'd just assumed they'd already done that at some point already
Awww...shit. Here we go again.
I hope there's more to this because that sounds illegal under the GDPR
