Censoring content isn’t the same as recommending content though. The OP was referring to recommendation algorithms specifically.

sounds like you just need an RSS reader

Been complaining about the RSS bots for years. They pollute feeds and search results too. If people want to see RSS feed content, just subscribe to it in your RSS reader.

You can just subscribe to Lemmy in your RSS reader. Then you’ll still have it in one place: your RSS reader. :)

What if I told you you were debating with a 14 year old who’s using AI to sound cool?

Some bots I like. I don’t want to turn off all bots just because some of them want to spam all the instances. Plus, I use Lemmy’s RSS feeds sometimes in an RSS reader which isn’t logged in, so that setting wouldn’t work for that use case anyway.

Yeah founder made an update here.

I love a friendly debate 😀:

The statement says How can you steal something that the customer cannot own?. You can definitely steal it if “you” aren’t the customer. And you can steal it from a “customer” even if the customer doesn’t own it and someone else does. And you can steal if even if you are the customer, because you aren’t the owner. The only time you can’t steal it is if you are the owner, because you own it.

The definition of “steal” you mention seems to be proving the point I’m making. Something can be stolen if the person stealing it isn’t the owner, which is the case in the first three examples I mentioned above.

The statement is an odd play on words and loaded with assumptions that are left up to the reader, which is why it’s super weird to use it to try to prove the point the author was trying to make.

if buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing. How can you steal something that the customer cannot own?

By stealing it? You dont have to own something to steal it. Or maybe I’m reading that wrong. Lol it’s a very interesting take but I like the spirit of it… And it made me laugh. Cool 😎

News sites are better to consume via RSS feeds. Check out openrss.org that has feeds for a lot of websites. There are even RSS feeds for Mastodon and Lemmy.
