probably, it works in Signal (the messenger app) as well

librewolf is love, librewolf is life

I wonder if the fact that human civilization has lasted and flourished for so long is just a stroke of luck then…

But the self-interest argument falls apart when you look at it from a cost/benefit standpoint.

I agree, and this is a much better way to define “self interest” too.

Woah

I agree, I won’t argue against their usefulness. I just meant disabling them for myself personally. I used to tend to judge posts and comments from their upvote/downvote scores rather than their actual content, now I can see them for what they are, in my eyes. I found that pretty cool and refreshing.

Hmm ok, I crossposted it to there

It’s more that I wanted to remind others. I was thinking of posting this in the “YouShouldKnow” community at first, but I figured that it wouldn’t fit there.

I’ll have to figure out where to do that

If you are using something like a third-party client (may be an Android/IOS app that you use to access lemmy), it depends on the app.

If you use lemmy from a website, i.e the official https://lemm.ee/ site, you can navigate to your settings and disable it, just click on the settings button:

then scroll down and find these:

Edit: I see you’ve found it, Welcome to lemmy!

PipePipe works perfectly for me with a VPN. FreeTube also works, but I have to change the VPN server once in a while.

If all else fails, yt-dlp.

Yeah, I agree with your statement. Not in a degrading way though. I know people whose lives have been so difficult, agonizing and full of abuse. Religion is what got them through those times and gave them hope. I am an atheist too, a very radical one at that, but I can imagine these people would have similar reactions if their only source of spiritual comfort was aggressively denied.

So they do need serious psychological help, but not because they are stupid to react that way, if that was what you meant.
