They ban people for all kinds of crap. Some of it is for violating their TOS. I’m guessing some is just arbitrary corporate BS, too. I mean it is Hooli, er, Google.

Trying to circumvent their anti-ad-blocking detection on YouTube could get you banned on YouTube or maybe more.

Please be careful, as YouTube is owned by Google, and getting banned by Google is potentially devastating for some people. Google’s products and services dominant the web and mobile, unfortunately.

I’m not saying you will get banned, just pointing out the potential risk.

The whole thing is a cluster. Ad blockers are a necessity IMO.

They think “the gubment” or “libtards” are trying to control them, make them look foolish, and/or force obedience/compliance down on them. In my opinion, it’s mostly projection. Their weird power fantasies make them imagine others are trying to dominate them, when in truth it’s just common sense medical advice.

In a few topics / threads I have noticed more nastiness (some of it thinly veiled as condescension). Even a little bit of it on beehaw. But, it’s still not as bad as I remember on reddit. I have blocked some people and communities on lemmy, and that has helped clean up my feed.

There’s a theory that societies experience 40 years of progress followed by 40 years of regression in an endless cycle. I hope the theory is wrong. I can’t take decades of these idiots running things.

Few things are as fun as coding on a personal passion project.

Cringe is far too overused IMHO. Especially online.

If something is “lame” it’s probably unoriginal, derivative, boring, or annoying.

Mask fit and machine settings can be tricky to get dialed in, and they make a big difference. There’s a pretty good YouTuber with a channel called CPAP Reviews that may be useful for you. Your doctor and DME provider should be a good resource, and in many cases they are…buy sadly this can be hit or miss.
