Fandom is pure evil. We should all get rid of it.

Ohh, look at that, another website disappears from the net. Need to start taking any site that does that shit and spread it out on nomadnet

The root cause is going to Fandom in first instance.

Please allow my dick and balls in your face, Fandom 🖕

I just browse Fandom pages using Internet Archive (or sometimes other archival sites except for Archive.Today and I won’t be explaining why here)
Also Fandom has not been good in years there where controversies such as: that incident Mcdonalds paid turning the Grimace page into a ad,intrusive ads,not much protection against vandalism and so on…

“our site is supported by ads”

hmmmm

“!w fandom (website)”

there should be a libredirect extension that gives you a bit slower but open platform instead of crap like this.

also as every comment said before, dont use brave. try fennec or ironfox.

How to allow ads on school & corporate networks

Seems pretty fucking sketchy. “Please use these tricks to bypass your admin”

“Please allow ads on this site”

LOL, lmao even.

Use a decent browser and install uBlock Origin, it’s the best ad blocker :)

You should use the plugin Indie Wiki Buddy. It’s better than the people saying “just use Breeze Wiki.” It actively transfers you to the indie wiki option even when you select a Fandom link (if you have the option set). It also does a lot more than just Breeze Wiki. You can toggle certain wikis on or off and set their priorities. For example, some games won’t have a Breeze Wiki page, but they will have some other Wiki, and this handles that without you having to think about it.

I block and and all sites that demand I turn off adblockers. Like, they don’t even show up in searches.

UBlacklist FTMFW.

Firefox with Ublock Origin doesn’t have this issue. (Or whatever Firefox derivative you prefer.) Please stop using Chromium-based browsers. Google is actively trying to kill adblocking. Stick with Gecko.

As someone who has used AdBlocker for as long as I can remember, I can’t come up with a single reason why sites should allow it. Exact same thing with the YouTube controversy. Of course I don’t like that they’re trying to prevent me from blocking the ads but I sure don’t blame them for it. Using an adblocker doesn’t necessitate for me to come up with justifications for convincing myself that what I’m doing is actually moral because it’s not. I’m perfectly capable of holding both of these two thoughts in my mind at the same time.

My test for whether behaviour is good or not is to consider what the world would be like if everyone did what I do and whether we’d all be better off for it. There one thing is for absolute certain: YouTube would not exist as a free platform. It would either not exist at all or it would be a subscription-based only.

You can have an ad-free service or you can have a free one but you can’t have both and demanding that is ridiculous. Even now, the sole reason you’re able to use Lemmy for free is because someone else is willing to take the financial hit by paying for the instance upkeep. We all just take it for granted.

Antifandom.com works great to avoid them
