but this is correct, that's where the mic is, it's more comfortable than holding it to my ear [especially the modern smartphone shape], and i like knowing i'm talking straight into the mic
Pizza eaters are rude as hell, too. I'd guarantee that there's significant overlap with the people who play music in public from their shitty phone speaker.
I'm not too sure about navigating that specific app, but on desktop you can just follow a link like this one: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] and you'll view the blahaj instance from the cozy view of your lemmy.world account. You can subscribe there and it should appear in your feeds.
Alternatively, if you're super into queer spaces you could just create an account on blahaj to make that like your "home" instance but that wont really affect your Lemmy viewing experience much. it's akin to creating a yahoo email vs google email: you can still send and receive all the same stuff but you just log in somewhere else
I wouldn't suggest using blahaj as a home instance. It's one of the instances that pussyfoots around with defederating from hexbear, and I think it disables downvotes, which just means the content isn't voted on democratically, which fucks up the aggregation and doesn't give you an accurate view of Lemmy as a whole.
Cool communities there, poor admins. Stick with lemmy.world or pick a different home.
I'm getting to the point where I just want to read ... once I get onto a site, I skip the ads and just read (most of the time I get limited ads because I have ad blocker) ... but if the ads, images, display is making it hard to read, I turn on read mode and get rid of all the clutter ... if the site was purposefully designed to not allow me to use read mode ... turn off the tab and move along to the next link.
If the site has somehow bypassed ad block and now shows ads, floating images, floating videos, banners or other elements ... if I can't get to the content I came to see, I turn off the tab and move on to the next site. I'm no wasting my time on these dumb sites.
add to that that google turned to crap nowadays and just pushes meaningless bot generated content in the top pages... it's getting almost impossible to use it to find stuff. not sure about other engines because I only started recently being search-engine-curious, so no idea how they were like before
absolutely. Since the advent of the YouTube gameplay guide, I have done my best to not touch multimedia guides and forcibly put it into text. You can even extract YouTube closed captions for accessibility reasons via hidden APIs. Give me plaintext.
And "news" sites that intentionally delay the relevant images/videos to load after their ads and related stories, so users scrolling around for the only relevant content in the entire "article" see all the ads first.
Google got in trouble recently for running ads on these videos. Advertisers would pay for a YouTube ad and it would only run on these random videos in the corner of the screen on click bait websites.
