Was just thinking how nice it is to be on social media and not be bombarded with ads!

Its amazing how this is the first site in years that I dont need to install blockers or scroll through bs or be so cynical with what I read.

Fellow Australians, rejoice in this little space we have from corporate bombardment

      Huh even with adblockers from the early 2010s, some still manage to sneak through for me and I even use pi.hole on my network

        DNS adblocking doesn’t help with ads served on the same host as the content, so you typically need ublock origin or similar as well. But yeah, OP is being a bit hyperbolic but you can certainly set things up such that is exceedingly rare.

        Live sport is the only place I’m still assaulted by advertisements, and I’m not willing to pay Murdoch to avoid (some) of it.
