    My concerns the product advertisers attempting to sneak in, bragging or something. It felt rampant on Reddit, so it’s probably left me wary. 😣

      And if that happens, you can bet your ass there will one day be instance-wide ad-block that auto-blocks users/instances known for posting ads.

      If that becomes a thing, there will be instances that explicitly filter it out.

      Double edge sword. “This guy is shilling” reports go rampant .

      Hopefully, the Reddit bot trackers peeps will move to lemmy, and lend us their wisdom.
      I learnt so many ways realise a poster or commenter was a bit from those peeps. Amazing MVPs!
      And folks like kitboga taught me that spammers/scammers generally stick to a script.

      It’s gonna be an arms race! Hopefully we win!

      Yo I also worry about advertisers attempting to target me with localised advertisements, which is why I use Borg VPN! Nice try, advertisers, but those “hot milfs” are nowhere near me, ha!
