2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

Who doesn't use an adblocker and why? (lemmy.world)

Wondering how much of the Lemmy user base wouldn't use an adblocker. If you do use one what other blocking do you use to circumvent data collection, YouTube and reddit front ends and things alike?

For mobile, you might need to block ads at a DNS level instead.

Firefox supports ublock.

[–] themurphy@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Ads in apps don't care about that. DNS blocking will take them too.

Not on iOS.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

Well, can't account for all niche operating systems, especially when they're that restrictive.

AdGuard, Vinegar, Banish

Those are what I use on iOS.

[–] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 0 points 11 months ago

AdGuard on iOS has a DNS that blocks ads as well as gambling and porn I believe, it basically piggy-backs off of the VPN feature.

Por que no los dos?

Shout out to the PiHole and the PiHole team.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago
