It's about time we stopped buying into the propaganda phrase "ad blockers", and started calling user-protection tools like #uBlockOrigin and #NoScript what they are; spy blockers. If I display ads on my website using HTML and CSS, spy blockers won't block those. As far as they know, the text, images, audio, or video that make up the ads could be anything. So what's really being blocked is not ads, but tracking. Thanks to the authors of this site, for pointing this out:

@micahflee stuck on 99.9% ???
@micahflee 🙏 DHT not working? And out of curiosity what does ‘behaving badly’ mean and why - interference from law enforcement/ someone else?
@micahflee why not torrent the ‘torrent’ then??! And I only need the 🧲 hash!!
@micahflee torrent anyone? Magnet 🧲?
@nextcloud country blocking is a PITA
@dcid Linux phone sometime soon??

Back in 2016 @OpenTechFund@twitter.com paid for the public security audit of Matrix's E2E encryption by @NCCCrypto@twitter.com: an absolutely critical step for Matrix. Today, OTF is under attack. Please help save them for the sake of the Internet. #SaveInternetFreedom #SaveOTF https://saveinternetfreedom.tech
@kravietz I’m not sure most of the Sahara desert is going to be missed tbh. Global problems need global solutions. Also fewer golf courses sounds good to me...

@grainloom surely it’s better than no app?
Happy Malcolm X day everyone! Remember: Zionism is racism !
@kravietz I can tell you somewhere that has an even higher percentage! And the results are even less pretty. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/how-israel-privatized-its-occupation-of-palestine/
@jonah I’d agree though!

Spotify is buying up all the popular podcasts and removing them from the commons in order to drive you to their platform.
Podcasts have somehow stayed open access, built on standards, and just (mostly) work. Moving them to a proprietary platform just so a few people (ie: not you) can make money is bad for everyone who isn't making money. (ie: you.)
@kravietz intellectually though that would be cowardice as you’d have avoided responding to the accusation that defenders of apartheid Israel are racists, which is precisely the accusation I’m making of you here. So cowardice it is then?
@kravietz again, you’re right: it’s not ‘up to me’, this is well documented and published by the UN. Mine is international consensus, yours is Zionist Hasbara.
And Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza is the issue. Israel also targets civilian infrastructure as well as civilians themselves. Why?
