There’s a lot of unvoiced dialogue, which I could see as being a barrier to enjoyment

No, it’s more like the protagonists’ personalities being totally interchangeable. That made me stop playing after I realized it doesn’t improve.

Maybe they are in bed with ISPs.

Since it’s already a Pandora’s box as it is, at least open-source is the least-worst way to go. All closed-source models are evil(er).

Add the add-on/extension NoScript to her browser and at least have it block fbsbx.com, which seems to be totally unnecessary to allow, as the rest of the website seems to still function perfectly fine.

There are attendees who are both younger and older than me (mid-30s). To be fair, the group already gets <10 people per event on average, so I don’t think I could risk the slice right now. If we grew to over double that, then maybe I could revisit the topic.

why are people still using facebook?

I run a free board game group on there called West Allis Board Games. Believe me, I would like to leave Meta and I offer everyone https://gamenight.host/@wa_bgn as a nonprofit alternative, but no one is on the latter and everyone is on the former. If you have any ideas on what I can do, I’m all ears eyes.

I asked the attendees about how they’d feel if we moved to a different platform and they immediately said they don’t want to handle dozens of accounts scattered across different platforms. I also advertise the group on related subreddits and, most recently, the locally relevant /c/ equivalents here.

I rather have them using AI to create it than having to go searching for real content.

A rebuttal to this that I’ve read is that the easy access may encourage people to dig into it and eventually want “the real thing”… but regardless, with it being FOSS, there’s no easy way to stop it anyway… It’s just a Pandora’s box that we can never close.

… until they keep having to dismiss people and go, “… huh.” This is a marathon we’re playing. You certainly don’t have to use it, but I think the philosophy makes sense, especially given how AdNauseam doesn’t click on acceptable ads that don’t track you.

Careful: that then enters the world of ad fraud, which randos like us doing the clicking isn’t considered as.

Doing so would break nearly all Internet access. Do you really run a whitelist rather than a blacklist? Is it not tedious to add hundreds of domains to one rather than a few to the other?
