I've heard that New World is in a good place now. I'm actually planning to take it up again to see if it's true.

Sure, but it also only counts book time. If you listen 2x it's only 7.5 hours.

Nah, what's worse is that it's only 15(!) hours per month!

Not that I know of... Most of the time I forget to change, but since the second post I see is an ad 90% of the time I usually realize my mistake very quickly.

Have you tried just looking at "Following"? That shows everything in chronological order, without ads. Lets me quickly see what's new, and then close the app. I don't discover many new recipes anymore, but that's a price I'm willing to pay.

At least it gave credit to a reddit user when it suggested to a suicidal person that they could jump from the Golden Gate Bridge!

Yep. But I guess it was already banned on government phones right? (not from the US, so I'm not all that up to date....)

The section Methods on the Cambridge Analytica wiki page explains it pretty well. While it's not proven to be able to directly influence voting, it's effective at swaying people's opinions and emotions about subjects.

The thing with tik tok isn't only with the data China can gather from US residents. It's also how they can use that information to influence the populace and send them propaganda, for example influencing the election results.

Nope. I have filtered both grad and hexbear out of my feed though, I don't need their shit there. And don't forget that many instances already are defederated with them, so there's also fewer of them through that!

I was planning to, but ultimately didn't. I have handed out personal blocks to obvious trolls and a brunch of hexbear users that spammed gifs in every single thread though.

For those wondering, ReVanced launcher short after that and is even better than Vanced.
