Nobody said it was going to be easy, fighting the corporate web.
But seriously: That’s only their image server. You can safely unblock it. Of course you’re still giving them your IP. If that bothers you I refer you back to the top of this comment.
My logic that I don’t want to connect to Reddit at all when I’m using Lemmy but that’s happening for who knows why? I understand how computers and networks work so I get it that Reddit shores up the hosting cost but that doesn’t really address the issue.
Yes blocking corporate social media domains to prevent being tracked and fingerprinted is extreme. Let’s write petty comments with sarcastic-ass hearts to continue virtual signaling and literally do the opposite of what we suggest.
Can’t see it because I have
i.redd.itblocked. I’m really confused why images from that domain are constantly embedded on Lemmy.Nobody said it was going to be easy, fighting the corporate web.

it’s since people are manually crossposting from reddit; not sure why you’d block an image domain tbh
I have all corporate social media blocked. Why would I want to load content from Reddit, especially when I’m on Lemmy actively avoiding Reddit?
What software uploads assets to Reddit then recycles the URL for embedding them on other platforms?
Your logic is flawed. This has reddit pay for Lemmy traffic. Its a reddit subsidy for Lemmy operating costs.
reddit = lemmy’s inofficial image uploader

The reason sadly is extremism, probably fueld by idealism. Realism will help you discover the path to change instead of polarization and deadlock. <3

how would loading content from i.redd.it hurt your mission/why wouldn’t you?
i edited to add “manually”
Because it gives Reddit the power to harm Lemmy at a time of their choosing.
It’s going to take more than a few dead links to kill off the fediverse at this point.
