It’s not just about learning the new interfaces…I’ve used the new site design and have heard the official app is just as bad about shoving ads down our throats. Baconreader made ads at least fairly unobtrusive, but with all the drama I’ve decided: fuck it. I appreciate Lemmy and other decentralized options for being user-funded rather than reliant on corporations

I’ve been growing weary of these centralized platforms selling off my info. It’s dangerous to have that much power as we’ve seen with election interferences. I’m working to switch over to here from reddit and mastodon from Twitter (I didn’t really use Twitter anyway, but mastodon does have npr and other news media). Might as well tbh
