    Come get out of your addiction on Lemmy!

    No algorithms, and just enough content for half an hour per day :-)

      Its actually a reason I like lemmy. I have total control of the length of my feed and still feel pretty well informed.

    Before MySpace there was Neopets and customised profile pages and shop fronts and before that there was Notepad HTML sites with gifs and god knows how anyone ever created those, you only found them, hoarded them and shared them with everyone

    Old videos were great too when they weren’t stuffed with ads, asking you to like and subscribe, or have similar wacky faced thumbnails. Anytime money gets involved, the incentives get all out of wack.

      Some RSS have tracking links which tracks the traffic is from a RSS feed. Also those links can be dynamically generated if RSS gets popular enough. Google alerts feed and news feed alreadu does this, I think.

      So yeah, it “mostly” doesn’t track you because there’s negligible number of people who use RSS.

    Email is throttling people? Like how many emails are you sending?
