  • Is there any actual evidence that open source social media is less damaging to user mental health than commercial social media?

  • I've never used twitter or instagram. I would say reddit's big turn-off is in the creep factor of Spez etc. Its communities are way more interesting than Lemmy's, mostly because the userbase is much bigger.

    I don't completely understand the addictive social media thing or how it's supposed to be different from television, adventure or science fiction novels, or whatever. But I've always managed to stay away from the worst parts of it, so I haven't really seen what it's like.

  • I don't see a plus. It says "FreeOTP version 2.0.6 (48) © 2013-2023 - Red Hat Inc, et al". But I think I've gotten updates more recently than 2023.

  • What kind of car do you drive, and what kind do you wish you did?

    Jump

  • I had thought in terms of keeping the differential and drive shaft for an RWD van. But IDK. I know there are conversion kits you can buy, and even shops that will install them for you. Old van = $5K, conversion kit without battery = $5K to $10K (dunno), battery depends on size I guess, but maybe $6K (50 KWH) for 100 mile range. I haven't seriously pursued it, just had the idea bubbling around.

  • I'm using FreeOTP from F-droid and imho it suffices if you're going to use a phone app at all. The ability to back up OTP keys in principle defeats the concept of 2FA but it's hard to live without, once you have enough keys. The thing about retain last N backups is hard to enforce without special arrangements in your backup scheme.

  • What kind of car do you drive, and what kind do you wish you did?

    Jump

  • I'd like to have a small cargo van with a DIY electric conversion, as opposed to a ready-made EV loaded with spyware. I'm not a car person so I don't yet understand why an EV is inherently more complicated than a washing machine on wheels, plus a battery system. They made them in the 1920s right? It should be doable with very little software, anyway.

    Is it possible to accidentally enter into a romantic relationship with a stranger?

    Jump

  • Someone told me a while back that Rev. Sun Myung Moon was going to give a speech in a stadium near me. My first reaction was to be terrified at the idea of going, because he was likely to speak in Korean. The event might turn into a mass wedding without my even realizing it. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I've always thought you were supposed to at least talk to the person before going off on something like that.

  • Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse

    Jump

  • There are some Lemmy instances without downvoting, but none without upvoting. That affects what gets posted. Also it doesn't matter much what an individual instance does, since a lively community has users from lots of instances contributing. That's the point of federation, I thought.

    Jump

  • For algorithms, anything that isn’t a straightforward scrutable way of presenting user content is bad, IMO. Algorithms that promote engagement, monetization, and sycophants are bad.

    I would say scrutability in itself doesn't automatically make an algorithm good. "Demote everything that doesn't support Trump" is perfectly scrutable but leads to a skewed discussion.

    In fact I would say any content boosting algorithm at all leads to skew and what you call sycophancy. That includes upvotes/downvotes that affect what posts users see first. So I would get rid of all that stuff and just show purely chronologically.

    I haven't noticed much difference between instances either, though I haven't been on many. I moved from lemmy.world to lemmy.ml because .ml has a bit less censorship (e.g. .ml lets me subscribe to !covid@hexbear.net). They are otherwise about the same, as far as I can tell.
