https://feddit.de/instances says we are blocked. I think it's still possible to view and interact with feddit communities from our instance, but those interactions do not propagate to the feddit server.

"Are you always this quiet?"

"It usually takes me some time to be comfortable around new people."

I've found that people are usually quite understanding and make an effort to include you in conversations if you just be honest with them instead of being snarky.

There is a GitHub issue about it. Looks like the endpoint could be added if someone is willing to work on it.

This is a great YSK and a great website. Ever since learning about the granny knot, I've noticed that many people around me do it unknowingly.

First it's the number of sign ups, then it's the posts and likes, then it's the number of eyeballs grabbed and the ad revenue. This kind of metric chasing that these platforms encourage is one of the reasons why they become so toxic.

From what I understand, those shadow profiles are based on information that Meta gets about you from other users, or through things like cookies and tracking pixels.

Suppose that Meta builds a shadow profile for each fedi user, then how would they link it back to you? They cannot get your IP address from just being federated with your home server, and they cannot inject a tracking pixel to your server's website. Is there another way that they could use your fedi activity to serve you targeted ads?

I'm interested in seeing how the enshittification of Threads will unfold. It's all super neat and cozy right now with a clean UI, no ads, not many sign up nags, and such. When they build up their userbase, we'll see how the platform devolves.

I don't fully understand—would Meta be able to serve you targeted ads based on your non-Threads fediverse activities? Where would these ads appear? How do they know it's you just from your fediverse accounts?

Strange, I'm not sure why. Maybe it's just a bug? If you open the reviews section on the Play Store page for the game, and check the "Show reviews for: This device model" checkbox, do you see any reviews from other Pixel 5 users there?

I don't know, all the file icons on my computer look like that...

Shadowmatic is a great little puzzle game. It's paid but the graphics and attention to detail are incredible.
