   Not only 90% are ads (and encouragement to join their dating app!), but a large part of them are scams. And tbh, one almost got me, as my 'alert' sense seems to be duller by not having to constantly double-check every post.
   Which, I mean, from one POV, it's great: between being mostly in the fedi and all ad-blockers and browser full privacy on, my current web experience is almost smooth (still need to deal with search ads and some that apparently escape)

     I found today that there are some downside in being mostly in this amazing ad-free space that the #fediverse is. I check my Facebook account everyday for notification-only, as many people still use it sometimes to get in touch with me. Today, casually, I decided to scroll. And OMG.
