Hey companies, please fck off 😽

@stux Please type the word "adblocker" into your favourite search engine. There are many to choose from. I go days or weeks without seeing online ads.

And there's always a way.

@EI3JDB @stux why do you talk to people like this? Does it ever make you positive connections or does it just make you feel superior?

@raphaelmorgan @stux Neither. A lot of people don't know about adblockers, unfortunately - I'm trying to help.

Sorry if that wasn't clear to you.

@EI3JDB @stux a lot of people, sure, but not a lot of fedi admins. The reply came off (to me anyway) as condescending, mostly because of the way you phrased it. The suggestion of using an ad-blocker would have still been not particularly useful in this case, but something like "I use an ad-blocker and rarely see that" would've at least seemed like you just misunderstood and were actually trying to help. Talking like OP doesn't know how search engines work doesn't
