  • A Reddit post promoting the Fediverse that actually gained traction (and Reddit deleted the top comment for promoting Lemmy)

    Jump

  • how did you find Lemmy? did you find out through reddit?

    ive been here over a year now and I sure did. haven't used reddit since.

    if you didn't come here from reddit, I'd be curious to hear where you did come from before making a Lemmy account.

  • TikTok creators mourn app where 'overnight' success is possible

    Jump

  • this is a social media app that creators can make videos on. i think you're overreacting just a bit, man.

    its not the end of the world. people making content that people enjoy on a video app isn't going to ruin the youth.

    relax.

  • what's with this curmudgeon type shit? their livelihood is at risk. just because you're not part of the ecosystem doesn't mean you need to dismiss a way to make money thats worked for quite a few people.

  • Meta is getting rid of factchecking. If you want to leave Instagram, what are your alternatives?

    Jump

  • when it's your main place to see friends photos, and where all your friends already are its difficult to just not use it.

    you don't use it and never have, so naturally you won't feel left out. but those that use it frequently absolutely will.

    the old curmudgeon "These dern kids and thur instagrams!" isn't really all that helpful, I feel.

  • there are a lot of kneejerk, tinfoil hat individuals on lemmy that seem to get rather dramatic over bluesky.

    bluesky adds new fonts in webapp

    "THIS IS WHAT THE CORPORATE OVERLORDS WANT. THESE FONTS ARE JUST LIKE TWITTER. WAKE UP SHEEPLE! IF YOU DON'T USE MASTODON, YOURE GOING TO GET MEASLES AND YOUR CHILDREN WILL PERISH!"

  • Brick phones will ring in an unlikely revival

    Jump

  • you can get a fairly decent simple android device for like 70 bucks. so the gimmick seems to prey on those that wish to have an "experience" and not a functional device.

    I'm so sick of online publications being the sketchiest places imaginable. it makes me skip articles that might otherwise interest me.

  • i think we are talking about two entirely different things. you're talking about generalized stuff and I'm talking about a specific person's feed.

    I'm not talking politics or other stuff. literally just talking a personalized feed. just for entertainment.

    golly. not every single thing has to lead to the end of the world, man.

    chill with the "propaganda and disinformation". I'm talking cats and anime and video games.

  • there are tweaks that can be made. also I'm talking about an individual's personal feed

    if I open tiktok right now, my feed will differ from yours. because it's personalized. reddit is a bad example because its not personalized.

    if you're seeing far right videos on your feed its because you're engaging with that content. you're feeding the algorithm.

    don't engage with that garbage and you won't see it.

  • manipulated by whom? if it can be manipulated so that you get to see the content you like, I say thats fine.

    if you mean manipulated by 3rd parties to sell ads, then that's bad.

    this isn't a black and white thing. it can exist without being data to sell for ads. what matters is if the one hosting the videos is willing to sell that data.

    if its kept to just your own personal usage data to make your experience a better one, that's not a terrible thing.

    tags are one way for sure. but then its difficult to find new stuff that might fit your interests that you don't have tags for.

  • what does control over what they want to watch look like without an algorithm?

    an algorithm doesn't have to be a negative thing.

  • Loops Unwrapped 2024

    Jump

  • agreed. there is a way to keep that algorithm private. on a person to person case.

    that information would just have to not be sold. thats the difference.

    an algorithm wouldn't be inherently evil. the data collected is what's potentially dangerous. but if its kept to just your personal account, it could be quite safe

    and make the app less of a chore to use.
