I'm talking about this person btw.

And i would kindly ask to request whether we could maybe remove them? It's a bit visually distracting while scrolling through the community feed as it's a bit visually catchy. (Or at least put the image behind a spoiler.

(The sidebar is always visible on the default Lemmy browser UI.)

I'd rather the image not be removed. Bill Nye is basically the only reason I was able to understand science because most of my teachers didn't really give a fuck, so they slapped in a Bill Nye tape and called it a day. Seeing his blessed face always fills me with cheer and gratitude.

Well, you can block the image with u-block origin or ad-nauseam.

Isn't it recommended not to install ublock when using adnauseam? Since it is just a fork of ublock, potentially causing conflicts or lag. Unless both buttons show up with just 1 addon then ignore it.

I've never seen his show but he's famous enough I've still heard of him

That is a deep cut.
