I don’t know how some people stay on [big social media] while constantly hating being on [big social media].
Yard Sale. People stay in big places, because it gives them access to a wider pool of people. Veritasium also replicated this theory.
Most people I talk to pretend like it’s too complex. They’re upset about a single company controlling their social media, but scared about not having that.
reddit/all lets you filter out 100 subreddits but it’s impossible to filter out commercial ads. you can filter out nfl, but then there are 100 others like nflv2, nflmemes, afcwestcoast, or some other different iteration. same for baseball. mlb, baseballmemes, newyorkyankees, etc. and this is what is perceivable. there’s just so much junk on that site now. it’s just like watching tv: boring and uninspired.
I gave up trying once I realized the large majority of humans today dont know what a filepath is.
I’ll retreat to my cave now.
dont know what a filepath is.
I have a friend who teaches a highschool computer elective and lesson 01 is Folders, creating them, what they are, etc.
it is significantly harder to find the “right” instance if you want to actually see varied content and not just leftyslop and tech.
i’m new here and lemmy.world is just fine. the photography community here is WAY better than reddit’s. you cant even post photographs there. it’s so absurd.
Weird thing to post on Lemmy, a place dominated by engagement metrics.
Also, why is the guy who quit all social media “doom scrolling”? Doomscrolling what? An RSS feed?
Good for him, tbh.

Can you explain? Do you mean up/downvotes?
Fedi does suck in your not into tech or leftist politics. Those are where the bulk of the content comes from. The memes can be funny sometimes but the lack of video clips really holds it back. People love short video clips but they’re expensive to host. Catbox.moe is a good solution but you’re still pretty restricted in the size of clips you can upload.
If you’re not into leftist politics, I don’t really want you on fedi to begin with.
Right so do you see how people that don’t have The Correct Opinion would view this as toxic.
I get it. We all hate the right here. You don’t need to lecture me on that. My point is that toxicity mostly emerges from people hating people that don’t have identical opinions as them. Slightly to the right = nazi. Slightly to the left = tankie.
Just chill my guy
lemmy is literally the same, in fact id say of all the social medias i’ve been on this place is the worst and most toxic and most political
you cannot escape american politics it’s everywhere, community doesn’t matter, this place is like 90% politics 10% linux which is also somehow political
anyone whose opinion isn’t strictly left wing is constantly dogpiled and banned, this place is not the alternative to social media
That’s a weird sentiment coming from a moderator of worldnews.
I disagree with the person you respond to on many things, but if you’re around here for a while, it is obvious. Lemmy is dying, and more importantly, it is extremifying and openly advocating for violence, which is pretty bad.
A large portion of Lemmy is very comfortable cencoring any pro-democracy notion. There is a radical group calling themselves left, communist, socialist and anti imperialist, but they actually want trump to keep running things, because that might bring down the US the fastest.
They don’t like the Palestinian genocide, but don’t mind the other one, and are also totally okay with 330m americans suffering just for their political gain. That ideology is carried by the creators of Lemmy, and spreading outside the OG instance.
Lemmy will not survive unless serious and decisive action is taken by intance admins to curb the radicalisation.
Lemmy is not dying. You are going around pushing your DNC agenda everywhere because it is election season. I hope you are getting paid for this.
Do not project, comrade
Pokemon go to the polls.
See that wasn’t that hard. You can vote and you can prepare for your armed rebellion from behind your keyboard. They’re not mutually exclusive.
