If it's an understandable amount of ads, I'll disable ad block. If the site bombards me with an unjustifiable amount of ads (like adblock-tester level of ads) then I'll re enable adblock in seconds. Same goes for if they serve scam ads like those 'virus detected' or 'hot singles in your area' malvertisements

Yea, same. Ads have gotten so obnoxious to the point where the freaking FBI considers adblock an essential part of proper internet hygiene.

yea, going to the big instances is bad because those instances are overloaded and struggling to keep up with demand. you should change instance, go to lemm.ee or sh.itjust.works, both have some pretty nice rules, aren't banned by any big instance (except beehaw), and sh.itjust.works runs purely on renewable energy, which is nice.

my first account has a join date of june 12th. right when the blackout hit. i've been through the exact same stuff. and i think i've been on lemmy long enough to say: welcome, july 1st refugees!

I feel the same way

Vlemmy's also pretty nice. Only difficulty with it is that I somehow managed to glitch jerboa into being in a limbo state of being logged into both vlemmy and lemmy.world. But, I managed to get that fixed.
