Was trying to read a news story and... What fresh shitfuckery is this? Why do I now have to pay money to a company just for the privilege of not being spied upon and not getting your cookies that I don't want or need? How is this even legal?

RE: "Why are you even reading that shitrag?" -- I clicked on a link someone posted in another sublemmit, didn't realise it was the Sun till after. I do not read the Sun on the regular, chill. My point stands regardless that this is extremely shitty and should probably not be allowed.

OP, The Sun is one of the trashiest rags on the face of this Earth. Your best option regardless of their ad practices was always to stay well away from them.

Oh I know, I clicked a link here on lemmy and was taken to that site. I never read it otherwise, but now Im definitely not reading it...

you can block websites if you want if you’re on voyager. It’ll filter out posts which link to whatever websites you list.

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 18 points 2 months ago

Radical approach, because I might miss the post with interesting comments, and people often provide alternative links or straight up embed summaries.

Oooh, good tip. Didn’t know about that feature.

[-] enbee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago

I use voyager and I love you for sharing this. fuck the s*n.

[-] ilikecoffee@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I'm on Sync. I might have a look later.

I wouldn’t bother switching for a fewture like that. Just wanted to share incase you were on voyager.

Ooh you can share settings like this? Whoa...

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

One of the best Sync features. Long press on any setting to copy a link to your clipboard.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

oh man that's an incredible option. i was already super happy with the "share as image" option they have, but it seems like they just keep outdoing themselves

And they're not even the worst in the UK.

I forget which one it was that decried the Brass Eye paedophile special as sick, while on the page directly opposite it was an article telling you how big 15 year old Charlotte Church's tits were getting along with a photo.

[-] purrtastic@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 months ago

Daily Mail?

Brass Eye was incredible for shining a light on media and political hysteria. Their episode on drugs was hilarious and tragic.

[-] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

They have a reputation in the UK for a reason, I don't even want to start thinking what the us version is like
