These are the uBlock rules used to block the headers from youtube channels. The ‘about’ tab is intentionally left unfiltered for the cases I actually want to see that information.

edit: had to put the code on pastebin since the code markdown doesn’t seem to work here.

Which one?

Adblockers can do more than just block ads, they also allow you to customize websites. As a simple example you can remove the annoying headers on youtube channels that take half the screen:

It’s also great for news sites. I have a filter to remove articles on topics I don’t care about. I also have rules to prevent these sites from automatically reloading after certain amount of time, something that I find very annoying.

I’m curious. How do you train such AI without being raided by the authorities?

Linux Hater’s Blog was half satire and half honest criticism.

This reminds me of the old linux hater’s blog post “At least we don’t have any viruses”.

With the shit some governments pulled during the first rounds of vaccination you can’t blame people for being skeptical.

Yes, but if you then downvoted the post it would still show a score of 10 in B and C instead of 9. This is the first of the two advantages I described. Even worse, if the post received 2 downvotes from ten different instances it would still show a score of 10 or 8 instead of -10.

And those who want to review every single one manually can still do that.

But will they? This tool promotes blindly trusting another instance block list without due diligence from the admin.

this process and improves Lemmy’s capability to protect it’s users from spam and brigading

That assumes defederation only happens in those cases. You have an account from lemmy.world, so I guess you trust that instance. You know, the same instance that preemptively defederated from hexbear.net for political reasons. You see the problem?

This is a terrible idea that steers lemmy into being an echo chamber. Let admins use their own judgement.

That sounds like a pyramid scheme.
