  • You’re complaining about ads that are being pushed on you by an algorithm from ad companies. I’m telling you there are no ad companies. Seems relevant.

    I never typed the word “ad”. I specifically said post of top brands. How can this be achieved in ActivityPub? Easy. When you are using lets say Threads, their proprietary system treats differently ads and normal posts. However, anything their system is pushing on the federated network (ActivityPub) is disguised as a normal post. A post that is having millions of engagement will be visible in “All”.

    Nothing prevents them from doing that right now.

    You act like you’re new to internet. What prevents them is that their audience is not here and companies are not paying them for that. However companies will pay them to promote their products in Threads. With the current numbers, Threads has the potential to dominate the “All” page.






  • btw, do you happen to remember whenabout the first crash happened? Did it start out sporadic and grow more frequent?

    it started happening before one month. It could have such pattern, yes. In the beginning it started happening some of the times I was watching any video. In the end it ended up happening almost every time. Today I’m still trying to make it happen though but not yet.










  • sorry but what exactly do you mean by checking resource utilization? CPU? yes load increases but it is not indicative. It is not starting being laggy and eventually freeze. It goes from responsive instantly to non responsive. RAM? it is 8GB, it always shows as full including the cached items (which is normal), but it doesn’t start to swap. Swap is ~1GB used. SSD? not full.

    What else (and how) should I check?
