Firefox with Bypass Paywall Clean D extension

Which distro did you use? I have a win 10 laptop and I might switch over to a Linux distro

This is the GitHub page of the extension. It details supported websites and other things

Sure they are unethical. But the millions of users who have joined them are not and they are not that tech savvy to have even heard of Fediverse. Federating with them opens 2 avenues: Possibly decrease the influence of X/Twitter as it gets more toxic and introduce general people to the concept of Fediverse and give them an option to easily migrate to one of the better Mastodon instances in future from Threads.

I believe defederating should be a user choice rather than an instance unless done for spammy/toxic instances. If instances starts to be too liberal with defederation, you create silos and introduce more hurdles for the growth of fediverse. This creates a broken up network that may not be social for everyone.

Obviously, you can be on an instance that defederates Threads.net if that’s your preference.

Is there a custom filter for removing paywalls? I use it and it doesn’t do that for me

Why have a social network if an instance is not social and not a network? He makes pretty good points on why he wants to federate with Threads. I’d personally also like to follow people who are on Threads but not on Mastodon (without joining Threads)

Umm, I’m not sure as I didn’t use Sync for Reddit, if it was an app specific feature.

In the current Lemmy app if we hide read posts, they are kinda lost. I’d like to visit a community and even see the read posts that were hidden from the frontpage. It could be an option for the user to decide if they want the current method or let the hidden “read” posts be hidden only from the All/Subscribed/Local frontpage (and not from the community page itself)

@ljdawson@lemmy.world my request is a bit different. I actually use Sync. When we hide posts from the frontpage using “Hide Read Posts” toggle, it hides the post from both the frontpage and the community where the post was posted. I’d like to have a setting where it only hides read posts from the frontpage.

Sometimes I like to go back to a community (like Starfield for e.g.) to read posts that I hid previously from frontpage to see newer discussions or just look back at things after a couple of days.

Hide read posts only from the frontage. There should be an option to have them visible in their community itself to refer back later.

Everyone says subscribe to hashtags to get content. I have no idea how to do that on the official Mastodon Android app. If it’s that obtuse, it’s not going to catch on easily.

Microblogging was never my preference and as it wasn’t easy enough to figure out in the app itself, being a casual user, I never looked it up in a guide/video.

They are still getting the data even if we defederate them, right? It’s only us who don’t get their data. This was my understanding on how federation works

We use CentOS for work.

That’s not true. RAM usage in open world games depends on how much assets are being loaded. We’ll need an in-depth analysis to determine if it is bad optimization or not

No, the extension is supposed to give you advanced controls in managing your container workflow.

Or alternatively, all the comments across them should be visible in-line in all communities.

Either of these approaches gives the agency to users to only reply to one of the cross post and read all the opinions/thoughts on that post. At the same time, it maintains the federation philosophy by not taking a community about a topic down, if the instance fails.

Thank you for this, worked like a charm!

Can you share what tracking data Firefox connects by default on Android?
