TL;DR: Reddit is removing the option to opt out of ad personalization, targeting ads based on user activity. Some specific ad categories can still be limited, but there’s no more opt-out option.

    if this is your version of the end of times, I suggest you take a look out your window at the burning hellscape of western north america and other locations around the globe. I also hope you’re not too attached to birds or polar bears.

        How am I devaluing what they are saying by pointing out there are much, much, more serious signals of a looming apocalypse?

        It’s like worrying about the mosquito biting you in a room full of blood thirsty canibals.

        I realize I shifted off topic, but they were getting a bit dramatic with the end of times bit

            I’m not trying to start anything, I just don’t follow your logic, and your comments seem like an over reaction.

            I’m happy to agree to disagree though, and won’t presue a conversation neither of us really wants to have.

            Hopefully you find other people on here that are more suited to your perspectives (I’m legitimately sorry we’re clashing). Lemmy is a great platform and I want you to enjoy it as much as I do
