As a European (but who lived for 10 years in Montreal, that’s why I have an account here) I applaud any initiative to move digital infrastructure away from the US. Good luck.

If you use uBlock Origin, add the following rule:

* privacy-center.org * block

This kills 99 % of the “accept or pay” modals, an you can still access the page normally.

It would have been better to use this link. It contains their username and looks way less fishy: https://www.youtube.com/@americanmedicalassociation/videos

It’s also linked from their main page (see YouTube link at the bottom): https://www.ama-assn.org/

In other news, this is expected. Fire enough people with skills and knowledge being brutal about it and you create some disaffection. If Russia and China weren’t trying to fish something in there they’d be negligent.

First of all, thanks for all the work you do. I lived almost 10 years in Canada and having an account here makes me feel warm inside (not on the outside :-) ).

Any idea why the recent influx of new users? May it have anything to do with Reddit planning to put some subreddits behind a paywal?

Thanks again!
