Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

that s higly dismissive i feel. On wich app do u have the pope your country leader and most of your influencer/video creator ?
Only based on your algorithm's recommendation and usage i feel. On lemmy in 3~5 min a day i have seen eveything interesting to me so what i do if i have that scrolling need ? go on tiktok ?
Yeah it s better to take a bicycle rather than a car but that s not a good solution for 99% of the ppl
I mean social network arent bad by default but they all have the default of having the capabilmity of being bad even if u have an unlimited type of control of them. Quite a challenge, but the solution saying just dont use it doesnt really answerr thes question.
If the place is generating money for a nazi, it's a nazi app. I can't help it if the pope (who is only very recently by sad coincidence a voice of reason) thinks it's a good place to make their presence. Most of my people have all left except one and she's kind of a problem anyway so we just take what we can.
Fediverse can last you way longer than 5 minutes of scrolling if you're spacing your activity out and actually interacting. My terminally online ass is way too present and I've got plenty to do. Have you looked at any instances besides lemmy? there's like an actually good piracy comm here. and so many people who will just teach you stuff for nothing. it's great! bunch of them helped me resurrect a dead ROM collection torrent just for the crack of it.
Look, I'm probably the worst person to be taking this from but social media is 100% killing us, no joke. I'm just advocating for the one that doesn't reward you for fighting people or giving MAGA free adcents
wow.
yeah and if u help a nazi own buisness then u are a nazi like the most prominent nazi figures of our century like berny sander aoc clinton etc. That's a quick fallacy that doesn any true weight irl. The same way 95% of irl ppl wont call elon musk a nazi. A dumb billionaire, technofacist even yeah. But nazi really ?
Just by curisity what s the pope have said in the past that wasnt reasonable ? and why just recently he became a voice of reason ? Can u explain it without mentioning American external politics ? If not i feel it s likely you are really opinionated on that subject and not really objective.
I mean i dont necessarly need a place to have my ppl or worse only them, the opposite i prefer. Hate the echochamber effect. Also the interraction except if based on personal relation are often meaningless
Well i have check some of them. Too little trafic and the subject are too much similar and quite often the same as the day before. Diversity of opinions really matter for a social network. Twitter could be even more dogshit bluesky will never surpass it bc of it. It s ideologcailly capture. U have this effect here too, just less prononced and with the federation u can escape it so less an issue.
I really wanted this conv to not derail on a my political opinion are the only morale right to hold all the other are bad. But here we are. At least it renforce my opinion that ppl having issue with twitter is only based on elon musk. Have a good day
Looks like you've been here for nine months. That should have been long enough to get a temperature read on people's sentiments towards establishment groups who work with fascists. I'm really not the guy to raise an eyebrow if that flabbergasted you, this is a very tame take compared to the woke-olympics that actually happen on platform we're talking about.
I mean, if you really want to immerse yourself in diverse and edgy opinions to avoid scary echochambers, 4chan is right over there. Not like anyone here is telling you what to think, we were just talking about sane-alternatives to twitter. As in things that don't incentivise you to fight.
Plz don't quote me on that "my ppl" thing, you know I cringed as soon as I sent that. Everyone knows nobody is "my people"
well, nobody here hold the value i hold so it s great to come here, simply titme to time cause it s quickly tiresome. Also pretty sure 4chan is quite a big echochamber just with more eddgy take.
I guess we talk about evrything regarding that matter. have a good one
