A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

you should easily be able to give a few sources

I have plenty, like close to 100 pages where I personally implemented the useless dialoge. But I'm sure not going to taddle on them.

But if you want to go hunting for it yourself: try small wordpress sites or other small self-hosted blogs.

This obviously won't be true for websites of major corporations.

Can you not at least rat out the major sites? Surely you don't have any moral qualms with that

I really don't want to, I think it's a rather stupid law that is both annoying and ineffective.

Most "bigger" offenders I found in the wild were medium sized local news sites and I really don't want to cause them any legal trouble.

But as someone else said, it's rather trivial to find. You really just need a browser with dev-tools.

You know you could just report them yourself right

Yes indeed. I just don't want to. It's a silly law.

So you don't want to report a company for breaking the law? What have they ever done for you?
