Woah woah hold up there. Why don’t you just mute the keyword “reddit”?

I’ve also only been seeing the words “sponsored content.” By the way, don’t know if this is a bug or not, but ads don’t show at all (not even the blank squares) when Compact or List mode is enabled.

Please note that the long list of things collected is what Google is known to collect, not necessarily that these are the things being collected. If you click on any other app that is also with Google trackers (practically every app listed on this page), you will find that the stuff listed are the same.

It is their browser. The tracking protection is in their browser and tells Android that it’s a VPN.

Discord doesn’t have the same issues people left reddit for.

Yes, yes it does. Both Reddit and Discord don’t allow 3rd party clients. It’s just that Discord never allowed any in the beginning. The arguments of a centralized content silo applies to Discord too.

It’s not like people just moved from reddit for fun.

Neither are people moving away from Discord for fun.

By the way, read the edit on my parent comment.

Read my edit on my parent comment. Basically, Reddit works “great” too, yet people still want to move away from it. The same with Discord.

How about we bridge the channels across to rooms on Matrix? That could work.

Yeah I know. kinda disappointed about that.

I agree that not everything has to be decentralized, but why not replace Discord with Matrix given hew mature and nice Matrix is? IMO, this is one of those things that should be decentralized.

Edit: for everyone asking why, read https://cadence.moe/blog/2020-06-06-why-you-shouldnt-trust-discord. The main point I care about is that as a free-to-use app with no ads, Discord is not profitable despite the Nitro subscribers. The operating cost to keep up with millions of messages a day is not cheap. They will, at some point, sell our data.

Agreed. If we want to move away from Reddit, why not move away from Discord too?

I just got access to Sync for Lemmy! Very nice. I hope the developer of rif would also make a lemmy client.

I have the 5 year trophy. Not nearly as many years as 10, but still something. I also left Reddit.
