All that is left of my Reddit account is inactivity and the fact that I removed myself from all the groups that where not Canadian centric in January. Maybe someday I will go back to it, maybe it will be sold to some agency outside of US. I doubt it though, I will hopefully forget about it. If I get emails about it I will change that address to not forward to one of the email addresses I check.

If we could crash the US ad market in Canada we would be hurting them a lot. Remove yourself as much as you can from the US economy.
I do not think you know how democracy works, putting a cap on anything during an election (other than one vote for one person) is not letting the voice of the people to be heard. Putting a cap on how many forms someone can sign is wrong as well. I personally have never signed any longest ballot paper but I have signed multiple papers for people, I am guessing my place got put down as a willing signature giver as I signed a bunch of PPC papers for Saskatoon people until either the friends trying to get enough signatures ran out or I put up a pride flag. Not that I would ever vote for the PPC but because I believe in democracy, if people want to try their hand go for it.
It is almost like they know the deal maker is not going to be able to pull the art of the deal out of anyone’s rear end and the tax is going to be coming back. Rather then spending the money to have accountants actually remove it from Quicken they just kept it in.
I had heard that amazon was planning on moving to an ad supported thing but I never ever saw an ad, either my pihole system blocked the ads or the ads came after January.
You can rent imaginary hard drives from other Canadian companies and presto chango if you need cloud space you can use that.
If there was a premium option that people could pay for then they are the customer; if you are using it for free you are the “premium option,” in most cases, the open source world is different though. When Reddit was first a thing there where many different clients you could use some had ads some did not, when Reddit became more of a thing they turned off “the fire hose” to all the other apps you could use. Why did they do that? Well your eyeballs are worth more than whatever fee the apps were paying to use the fire hose.
It does not mater if you believe the ads do not affect you or not, they do. Don’t for a second think that oh they can try and make money off of me but I am not paying attention. The ad marketing companies have files on everyone who uses credit or debit cards then all the services they are signed up to along with every other thing attached to those services. Then you are being tracked so the ad market can build up things about who you are and how you fit in the world. We live in a capitalist world everything is about money, if you use Reddit you are paying a US company.
It has been about a year since I was last in a Walmart, I have only started boycotting Walmart in January though, I hear that many of them are just husks of what they used to be though.
Do you not just love those bans? The first time I was banned I should have realized that it was just a ploy to make me jones to use it. I should have started looking for something better then and there and welcomed people onto Lemmy when the migration started.
My last ban was something to do with talking about Trans healthcare in Canada, something I know a thing or two about, and some Cis person getting mad that I was discussing it.
I am done trying to push people over here, I would get told to suck an egg because the people are still on Reddit.
Been here for a while but thank you.
You are not saying or doing that you are saying keep your eyeballs on Reddit, to tell others about Lemmy. Giving Reddit your eyeballs is paying Reddit.
