Rethink does not require you to use their own DNS. You can choose from several or just use the system DNS.
In addition, it has on-device blocklist where you import rules from various public lists. Just like a desktop ad blocker.
And, of course, I have a VPN configured by downloading a wire guard config file from Mullvad and importing it into Rethink.
Is it possible the heavy traffic is causing Lemmy to temporarily block this person and not actually crashing the instance?
You’re missing the “actually intuitively usable” part.

Oop! Spaghett!
Welcome to my block list. I guess I’m power tripping.
You can doom scroll without the current video looping, though.
Why do short videos have to loop automatically with no way to turn it off? Who the hell decided that was a good idea and why has every other app followed suit?
I especially hate the ones designed to loop because they think it’s “so clever”.

Ah, I did not know that. Must be a lot of mods that don’t know that either because I see foreign language communities all the time.
Isn’t that what the scaled sorting in v0.19 is supposed to fix?
The language settings do not work. Some hugely high percentage of comments and posts have an “undetermined” language because Lemmy doesn’t force you to choose a language when submitting something. And then there is federated content from programs that don’t even have a language setting.
If you block “undetermined”, you block almost all content, and then there’s no point in even being here.
What we might need is code to identify the language of a comment and assigning it automatically while allowing it to be changed if it makes a mistake. I imagine it would annoy multilingual people having to switch their configured language every time they make a comment, so just make it automatic by using a language model. That’s the kind of thing a language model would be really good at.
Until we have something like that, the language settings are useless.
I’m sorry, but I will continue to downvote exactly one post in every stupid anime community right before I block it. We don’t need a separate community for every single anime ever made clogging everyone’s feed with boring pictures of characters.
My single downvote in each community is helping to shape Lemmy as a whole, and I’m certain it’s very effective at doing so. It’s definitely not just a childish tantrum. No, sir!
Yeah, I think so. I downloaded the recommended app, connected to the recommended server, added a channel, tried to ask my question, and BAM! That was it.
If you had put spaces after your dashes, you would have made a proper bulleted list instead of a paragraph. Just FYI.

Here’s a critical feature: Matrix bans people using a VPN. removed that. I joined a channel for the first time, said “Hello”, and was instantly banned for “Spam”.
I have to use a VPN because I get my Internet from tethering my phone using EasyTether to make it look like phone data, and connecting to stuff like Windows Update would make it really obvious I’m doing so.
Man, I’m old. I was wondering how in the heck you 3D printed a glass and metal vacuum tube.
You can preface a ChatGPT session with instructions on what length and verbosity you want as replies. Tell it to roleplay or speak in short text message like replies. Or hell, speak in haikus. It’s pretty clever for an LLM.
And if someone’s writing code to make a bot, they can privately coach the LLM before they start forwarding any replies between the real person.
It’s a still photo. You got me. I stared at it for 3 seconds waiting for it to load. 10/10 troll.
Thanks! It looks really good.
