Just one, I’m glad I’m able to interact with all instances from this account, I think if I felt I had to make so many accounts I’d get overwhelmed and quit lemmy

It’s honestly heartbreaking considering how much work it must be to write a book and how scary it is especially with so many influencers and celebrities in the market now already making it harder for real authors to get noticed

Ive used AdBlock for about 15+ years, at first because YouTube was getting a little overboard with their ads. Now I’ve kinda became a privacy nut and still use stuff like UBlock Origin but more for stopping weird trackers and cookies that invade my privacy and sell my data

EDIT: I’ve since learned to allow just ads for certain cites to support others as long as it’s for content creators or small business. I also enjoy donating to FOSS creators when I can afford it, which is something we should all consider doing to help support FOSS that doesn’t really on our data to pay the bills.

I was a straight up lurker on reddit, I feel like this environment makes me wanna be more active, reminds me of the old days before websites were a cash grab and there was true communities

Meta is that annoying little sibling that wants to be a part of everything when nobody wants them around. Except instead of a sibling, it’s more of a disease.

Thank you!
