It’s been clarified. The dev confirmed in this comment that ad trackers & data collection are removed when you pay ($3.49) to remove ads: https://lemmy.world/comment/3811201

Boost does have a paid option. It’s a $3.49 one time fee to remove ads, which also removes all trackers and data collection.

Yeah I’ve seen people recommend ChatGPT for meal planning and recipes, and it’s mostly fine for common, simple recipes but it does super weird things when you ask it for something nonstandard, that has a lot of variations, or with dietary restrictions. Like it repeatedly gave me recipes with my allergens with a note to check package for said allergen and other weird things like claiming frozen vegetables take 10 minutes to roast in the oven. It’s useful for certain things but it’s not really intelligent.

I’m pretty sure that they get disabled when you purchase ad-free. I use DuckDuckGo to block ad tracking attempts, and it’s not picking up any from Boost.

Ad-free is much cheaper, and there’s no features locked behind an ultra tier.

Yup. Also outside of winter as well if you don’t spend much time outside or if you’re someone who doesn’t produce enough from sun exposure. When I’m depressed, it’s usually because I haven’t taken D recently. D3 with vitamin K works best for me.

Same. Also the suction hurts my ears

No. If you tap on mute, there’s options for user, community, or instance but not post.

Thank you for making ad-free affordable ♥️

Connect has user tagging and is free

Most of us here are diagnosed and on medication.

Yes. Supposedly it was Danny Masterson that recruited them. Some of them claim to no longer be involved with the church, but celebrities have been known to lie about that before, likely a church PR move to convince people they’re totally not a cult and that people can leave any time.

Probably pressured by the church of scientology

Sexting minors (under 18) is illegal in most places, including California, even if they’re above the age of consent.

I tried that on Connect, and I’m unable to sign back in. I’ve been unable to use any apps with this instance for at least 2 days. The website seems to work ok weirdly but that’s not ideal for me for accessibility reasons.

You can block instances on Connect but it doesn’t prevent comments from appearing, only posts. Also currently this instance is having server issues, and I can’t log into any apps right now, only via browser.

I’m having the same issue

I had a cat growing up who loved lettuce. We’d toss him a leaf, and he’d go nuts, growling the whole time while eating it. The other cats would just look at him like ‘wtf bro we don’t even want that’

Weird. All the kids in my family love it. They always ask for “pop water” when they come over. Also Target still sells caffeinated seltzer.
