  • Corporate Social Media is Junk Food

    Jump

  • i mean... a lot of the content on the fediverse is literally just lifted straight from the other "junk food" social media websites that were just named.

    its just a federated experience. not a "healthy" one. I'm all for moving more people over to the fediverse but let's maybe take it down a couple notches with the weird propaganda-esque ads?

  • Loops Unwrapped 2024

    Jump

  • it quite annoys me as well. "No annoying algorithms!"

    ...great. so it will never learn what content I actually like to see and will feed me random crap I don't want to see.

    i get like the same 5 videos of someone walking around outside and a couple of ads for stuff I'm not even remotely interested in.

  • healthy? what do you mean by healthy. healthy for whom? the life of the app itself? because it won't survive without dedicated users.

    if there is no algorithm to keep track of what users want to see vs don't want to see, they'll stop using the app in favor of apps that cater to their interests.

    watching a random video of something I'm not interested in isn't particularly all that fun.

    if an app learns I like anime and video games or specific types of content, then I'm more likely to use the app.

  • the issue with loops is there's no algorithm. so I get 10 random videos that don't interest me and just one that does, almost.

    that's not going to work long term for engagement. i already get bored on loops after like a minute.

  • Golly I loved these things when I was a kid. I still do.

  • Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'

  • the same level of toxicity that I left reddit for seems to be permeating Lemmy, now.

  • Why I regret using 23andMe: I gave up my DNA just to find out I’m British | Technology | The Guardian

    Jump

  • America is a lot of people from different places settling in one continent. lots of people care about what their family history is. I'm not sure what's weird about that.

    there's a lot of people with bloodlines from different parts of the world in every country. it means something to some people. not everyone, but quite a few.

    that particular phenomenon is everywhere.

  • I've seen Voyager. i still have not seen DS9 =(

  • How decentralized is Bluesky really?

    Jump

  • if there is, I haven't seen any. ive been using it quite a bit. its probably like most social media where if you don't engage with that kind of content, it doesn't show it to you.

  • Decentralised social media ‘increases citizen empowerment’, says Oxford study

    Jump

  • there's too much stuff to keep track of, man. all I know is that when I see that term, it sets off a red flag in my brain.

  • i have only heard the term "wrongthink" used by those who participate in pretty not cool places.

    edit: did I get downvoted for wrongthink? lol

  • Twitter is dead. Long live BlueSky.

    Jump

  • its because of all the new accounts that have been made there. that's likely why you're seeing so many posts about it.

    a mass exodus from one twitter to another is a big deal for a lot of people.

  • there's quite a few people in this thread with the same weird vitriol as reddit had.

    if someone uses bluesky and you don't, then why make yourself upset over it? i have both mastodon and bluesky. i use both.

    I'm not sure why everything has to be a weird competition. some weird us vs. them shitfight.

    its literally just a social media platform. jeez.
