It’s just more of the same but without the ability to easily create and rotate alts so even more of a privacy nightmare than HN
Calling HN a privacy nightmare is pretty wild. But sure, let’s dilute the term even further until it loses all meaning. Websites that are truly privacy nightmares will be delighted.
Seriously. HN doesn’t even actually need JS to read it. And it’s certainly not filled with trackers by any means. Might as well call Lemmy a privacy nightmare.
Lobsters has blocked the Brave browser since a scam in 2019. We still block it because they lie about following standards so they scrape and sell copies of websites. I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but they have previously targeted Lobsters by name and have a years-long pattern of bad behavior.
Well, that’s a new one. What you see if you visit it via Brave Browser.
What is HN?
I’m this context it’s Hackernews
If you want to keep your sanity avoid the orange site at al costs. At least don’t read the comments. Keep living without knowing and you’ll be happier.
Why do you say this? I find it civil and interesting
Same. It’s part of my daily routine.
Right! It’s very enjoyable even for not techies. I even shared it with my mom because it’s like reddit but only interesting articles
Personally, I think it’s great. It’s a smaller community than HN and the registration requirements, whilst not a perfect solution, do create a litmus test and ultimately creates an envrionment of mostly high quality posting.
To get in, you need to be invited in by an existing user. If you don’t know anybody, you can hang around on their IRC channel and once you’re familiar, somebody may be willing to invite you.
