I can’t get rid of it, it’s obnoxious. I’ve tried filtering the element with my adblocker but it keeps reappearing. As much as I find Reddit useful (unfortunately), especially for information and discussion relating to my country, I will never install their proprietary garbage app on my phone just to use their website.
Oh well. I’ve used the Internet before Reddit existed, I’m sure I can get used to doing so again.
Like the other person said, your Lemmy experience will be a lot better once you block the tankie instances, but I hear you regarding the lack of niche communities. I want to talk about cars too, but unfortunately the “fuck cars” crowd far outnumbers us and they are everywhere on Lemmy. I can’t help that I enjoy driving; chill out, people!
Good info on the blocking. I do like hearing different opinions but I honestly thought it was satire at first.
On the “fuck cars” crowd they are seriously barking up the wrong tree. I’m all about trains and public transportation. I take Amtrak when I can. I’d love to see more metro systems. I wish we had more walkable areas. No idea how they plan on bringing this about by picking fights with people who were never against it to begin with. Get car owners on your side, they would love less traffic, bad drivers, and more parking spots.
all you need to block is tankies, and politics. world. i just leave the memes sub alone.
