Thanks mate
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
On the other hand, I can be smug about getting a lot of downvotes from who I can assume are mindless fools.
Honestly at this point I’m just glad I’m not getting autobanned because some moderator decided there was a way to interpret my words as advocating for genocide… God we need to get more of the Reddit Communities here so we can make that shitfest obsolete
Honestly I’m advocating for genocide…
gasp
What kind of genocide we doin, fam?
I’mma about to genocide this tub of ice cream
Best kind
Oh mein chocolate friend, you thought you could escape ze long spoon of the regime on the rocky road to freedom. Oh ve have such plans for you… and zey will wait until ze gummy bears have had zer way with you!
I still felt a little dirty doing that even as a bit…
I liked it! 5 out of 5 for funny. Wish I could come up with something original like that.
It’s nothing special really
Oh yeah. Echo chamber my favorite.
Metal Gear Solid 2 (released in 2001) predicted our current/future catch 22 scenario. If echo chambers are left in place everyone isolates themselves and surrounds themselves in their own half truths afraid of a larger forum.
But the proposed solution is for AI to run everything behind the scenes censoring the internet to manipulate information and by extension the world.
idk why this reminded me of that
Or seeking self validation to cope with insecurity.
I just did a presentation in my university about lemmy and the fediverse, people loved it!
What did you talk about? Like give me an overview I’m curious.
The presentation went along like this:
- context about social media and the problems with centralized models
- some news articles about the reddit debacle and Elon being musk
- overview of the dapps framework
- the fediverse and the different apps in it
- the concept of federation and how instances work
at the end I mentioned what I considered to be the most important challenges and steps ahead for the fediverse, thinks like escalation, funding, onboarding and moderation it was fun, the class liked it, i think some were going to try mastdon, it’s a start!
Nice! You should’ve pointed everyone to lemmy.world and had them make an account right there lol. (Or lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, sh.itjust.works, lemme.ee, or any of the popular instances).
Beehaw may be leaving lemmy
Okay maybe not that one. That would be sad, though. Hope they don’t.
Forgot about that. Well, I’m sure there’s some instance they could’ve picked lol.
maybe, but lemmy is not for everyone, most people didn’t use reddit either. i still showed a couple screencaps from the lemmy.world frontpage
Isn’t .world overloaded, and didn’t .ml close sign-ups?
That’s really interesting!
I like turning off vote counts to keep me more honest. It makes me vote honestly because I myself like something, not just because others happen to like it a lot.
They don’t call me an Emperor for nothing
The debates are kind of lit, too, though.
I disagree >:)
Wrong again.
I understand that im wrong, but I’ll double down
People care more about avoiding humiliation and emotional hurt than the truth, and it’s the root cause of all of our problems.
I don’t even care if they agree with me as long as they can form a constructive argument against me and not go into hysterics just because my opinion differs from theirs.
I’m always happy to find a hopeless optimist on Lemmy…
A rarity
Especially when it’s a controversial opinion
Ah, but a short glance at my comment history will reveal that that is not how i like to enjoy Lemmy…
Ah yes the anti echo chamber user: providing the viewpoint you disagree with whether you want to hear it or not.
I agree with you
Funny, I always seem to get downvoted, which I didn’t on Reddit
