Hackernews isn’t really catering to average end users.

Different tools for different purposes
Deleted my 10 year account a few months ago. Haven’t looked back. Once in a while my google searches will point me to some reddit thread, and I’ll check it out, but I have logged in for the last time.
I think there’s a lot of good old moralization going on out there. «Young people are getting lazy» etc. Especially from old rich people who got everything handed to them.
Tech is probably the 1%
Like you have a choice in 98% of workplaces.
Because not every movie and episode that I want to watch is already released. Radarr/sonarr lets me subscribe and downlod the correct movie/episode when available in the quality profile that I want.
Also automatically sorting everything in a useful structure when I share my plex libraries with friends and family.
You guys are not using radarr/sonarr?
Ignore /c/all and be selective about the communities you subscribe to. In addition to other unfortunate browsing behaviours I also started lifting weights and climbing, so something good came out of it 😄
Awesome work :)
Correct. But a VPN provider can also build a profile on that metadata, and transparency is often lacking in the VPN business. I live in a country with fairly good privacy laws for now and much prefer my ISP to have my metadata than someone else.
A boycott is rarely comfortable.
Deleted my 10 year account with hundreds of posts and thousands of comments. I have to admit, leaving reddit has created a sort of vacuum in my life, and I have been spending more time scrolling on facebook, news sites and other shitty services. I’m happy to finally have landed on lemmy, but it has been a bit bumpy with the instability on lemmy.world.
I trust my ISP more than a random VPN provider. I use HTTPS for everything anyways.
It is indeed a hacker news mirror on lemmy afaik. And that being said lemmy isn’t really an average user crowd either.
