Agreed, a lot of what makes it cool for some, makes others uncomfortable, a client that abstracts a lot of the distributed nature of the service away would be more attractive to some.

You can edit your hosts file so that if you type in reddit.com it just provides lemmy.world’s IP address and connects to that instead.

Within sync settings it was “block automod and annoying bots” or something like that, it’s pretty much the reason I used sync.

Unfortunately, the reddit app doesn’t have the features I want - Sync was a perfect fit, I didn’t want to see automod pinned comments on every thread (and a while ago reddit removed the ability to block automod natively), bacon reader did have this feature within the app but after a while stopped perusing it.

I can’t use a client where I’m ass-blasted with ads and garbage that I cannot filter out, so here I am… We’ll see how it goes.

I wonder if reddit, twitter and youtube all got around a table one day and decided that no, actually, screw the users entirely.

Because they are all doing really bizzare things.

Fair enough, I’m replying via wefwef, thought I’d give it a go…

Not targeted? Can’t I randomly just tell you to go F yourself and it’d be fine?

Isn’t wefwef in alpha with some missing functionality? Eg: editing posts hasn’t been added etc.
