    I agree with the points being made here, but for me personally, my favorite thing is that I’m not constantly being corralled into some corporate trap like other social media - especially lately. I’m being treated like a user again, instead of a statistic in some dickhead’s CPM chart.

        The thing is, I wouldn’t even be mad about ads necessarily. It’s just that the whole idea of “ads” has become so aggressively anti-consumer that it’s literally a bad security practice to not block them.

        Like, if they allowed well-vetted ads, served without tracking and all that trash, I honestly wouldn’t mind. The server hosting does need to be paid for somehow, after all, and it remains to be seen if donations alone can really sustain it long term.

        That said, as a user, I do appreciate this being one of the very few places not trying to inundate me with consumerism.
