redditors will now have the ability to ‘Hide’ an ad from their feed – and when you do, we’ll automatically hide future ads from that advertiser account for at least a year (you can re-hide the ad after that period of time).
Reddit is a bloated mess.
AdGuard says I haven’t seen ads on any websites for years.
Huh, I’ve got all advertisers hidden forever on Lemmy
Why are people still accepting this?
I mean almost all major apps are magnitudes worse by allowing advertisements of blatant scams and don‘t even let you report it let alone hide it. Enshittification runs rampant.
Reddit has a lot of content and users, I had to switch to Lemmy after being IP banned from reddit (called too many nazis “nazis” I guess) but I really miss the news feed I had cultivated there.
I use the old.reddit.com/r/subreddit+subreddit1 bookmark approach to get a reddit feed without relying on reddit account for a subscription on desktop browser.
And on Android I use Stealth from F-Droid which is an app that lets you subscribe locally, save locally, and lets you have different profiles with different subscriptions. And it is account free with no way to log in.
Moving to primarily lurking is the route I’ve taken.
This Reddit place is never gonna take off if they keep treating users this way
The majority of their users are bots, which don’t care how they are treated.
