Any change should be done gradually i think. If the elder person notices that what shes watching is suddenly not the shows she subscribed to. Then she will clam up and refuse to watch the new shows unt OP bring back her “account”.

Ive seen a post in programming dev instance that those posts we were seeign, shilling for reddit was proven to be astroturfed using LLM to generate the pro reddit reply

I use cloudhiker and webtoll. It’s fairly decent. Though occasionally I get time capsule sites, like personal blogs from the 2000s in geocities. Yes, try it and see with your own eyes.

Sorry for the late reply. I was jumping from instance to instance.

Thi is now my app ranking

1. Connect for Lemmy
2. Jerboa
3. Liftoff for Lemmy
4. Firefox browser (mobile eeb display for lemmy is underrated)
5. Wefwef (it has no block instance and user option, yet)

When you’re reading the post title, then suddenly new posts come in and bump the current post. And now you’re lost.

Also if you click a post and after you go back to the feed. The browser doesn’t remember your position. And now you’re lost again.

That’s what started me too. Then it snowballed as i tried every other app available to install. And now i cannot go back.

Besides the unsettling idea that we are like a message board in public display. It’s good to know that our data are somewhat immune to being monetized. .

What are the chances that the instance owners join together and buid a cartel or corporation. Then sells our data.
