You don’t tell them.

My ISP doesn’t give a fuck so I don’t use ISP-friendly tools. Not even a VPN. Only for geoblocking.

Just pirate it off https://1337x.to when it comes out. People rip things pretty fast if they’re popular.

OK then my showers are political and my water drinking and air breathing habits are political. I am, for obvious reasons, not using those measures when I talk about apolitical news.

ah yes “Dogs found to carry a gene that lets them bark in ultrasonic waves that mice cannot hear” (fake news title), omg so political. That’s the kind of shit I want sometimes. I don’t know how you came up to the idea that all news is about what political parties and the ruling class are doing in their day to day lives :) I do love some news about how putin is screwing up something, but I also want news about new cool apps, new developments in technology or AI, new cool stuff found around the world, new opportunities and things in this cool world. Sometimes, just sometimes, I don’t wanna hear about what insults Trump is hurling at Biden and viceversa.

It seems like the best way is view “all” not just local

if you’re not subbed to a lot of stuff yeah but i already got to the point you mention where i have a shitton of subs and i get good curated content in my feed.

having said that i do browse All often and did in this case to find this post.

to be fair you can subscribe/unsubscribe from communities. I often do this. If /c/news is too political, i unsub from /c/news, i can then go and find some other news community that posts interesting things that aren’t as political

similarly, /c/[email protected] is not the only technology community out there, as is obvious, so we can go and find other things :) your feed is yours! own it! don’t wait for others to fix it cuz you’ll very often be dissatisfied.

Fun thoughts and all but that isn’t the reason why they’re blocking it. It’s because Facebook is bad. Corporation, big, embrace, expand, extinguish, evil. Plenty of explanations around about why these blocks happened. However you’re also right. If it were very small like a 15k people instance and it didn’t carry corporations inside maybe they’d consider not blocking.
