    Fuck the front page. The value of a book is the substance inside. Reddit should be renamed flyleaf because the first page is blank with only a minor function as part of the binding.

    I removed reddit from my DNS whitelist on June 9th. It is dead to me.

    Edit: 130 posts, 1030 comments on Lemmy since June 9th; 0 posts, 0 comments, 0 views on reddit.

          Got hit by a shitty driver riding a bicycle to work, so nonvoluntary social isolation mixed with an emotionally targeted internet focused on manipulation and user retention is toxic. I stop all telemetry and data collection possible. Plus my code creations can’t escape, and sketchy downloads can’t dial out either. The modern internet and software is complete stalkerware trash once you see the drop logs on a whitelist.

          You are crazy man. Find a psychologist. Quick.
