I love Lemmy but your question is legit. I just signed up with lemmy.world because lemmy.ml is slow/not responding.

Before making a post in lemmy.world guess what? lemmy.world isn’t responding. I know they have scheduled maintenance at 9 CET but it was 20 minutes before that.

Same here… it’s frustrating, loading a post would take like 10 minutes.

Hopefully Lemmy admins/developers would solve this issue. It’s the only social media I use now.

Sad.

Old.reddit would not show comments anymore. It will direct you to reddit.

So I believe they might stop working at any moment.

RIP Apollo 💔

Probably enshitification!

Look it up.

This is why I don’t buy Android.

The software isn’t optimized enough from smoothness and battery consumption perspective.

Also, the ROM that’s usually comes from the manufacturer is either spyware, bloated, or just crap. You need technical knowledge and risking bricking your device to install custom ROM.

The hardware, which is my least concern, depends on the company you buy from.

My SONY smart tv (with apps disabled) would phone home like ~200 times a minute.

Losing Apollo was the main reason.

However this whole saga unveiled other disturbing things such as how Reddit is leveraging its communities for advertising in this post: https://lemmy.world/post/837198

Even if they make it free, I’m not going back.

Putin benefited from:

1. Showed that the largest military group couldn’t complete a coup
2. No longer need to justify the damage Wagner group done
3. Shows Russian that he prefer to negotiate rather than bloodshed
4. Shows international theatre that Russian troops are loyal, peaceful, and follow orders
5. Identified disloyal government officials who sided with Wagner if any

And the list goes on

Wagner head got out of it and terrorisim accusations in the future

I’m still thinking that it’s not over. Moscow still on high alert.

There’s something up. Both putin and Wagners head aren’t stupid.

I feel it’s a plan to justify future actions.

I also suspect they’re all bots.

I joined when users were 10k and I didn’t see any increase in engagement including comments and upvotes.

Elon: running a successful company to the ground.

u/spez: Taking notes.

Too late bud

This.

Everytime I see a federated instance I need to find it in community search to subscribe.

Well, different post categories indicate different meanings (usefulness).

For example, in political communities, I can get a rough estimate of the majority of users’ views/ideologies regarding a specific topic.

all it does it create an echo-chamber. It’s self-reinforcing.

Totally agree. Also, I’m taking into an account that this is a view of people who have internet -> browse lemmy -> browse or subbed to the community (interested in) -> saw the post -> read comments -> default sort (i believe lemmy’s default is hot which is new?) so definitely biased

I also don’t care if other people found a post “positive” or “negative” or “neutral” in general. Truthful, well thought-out comments get downvoted into oblivion despite being true, simply because they aren’t mainstream views. Likewise, mainstream views with no basis in reality get upvoted incessantly, probably because humans psychologically like believing that their beliefs are true and seeing “confirmation” of their beliefs is seen as a good thing. This is what is meant by self-reinforcing echo-chamber: fringe or dissenting opinions get hidden, and “more of the same”/“towing the line” conformity get promoted.

I stated that it’s good to know “what people who read this post or comment think of it” regardless of post/comment truthfulness. It’s useful (for me) to assess whether many people agree with, against, or it’s controversial.

PS: This information wouldn’t change my opinion about a post/comment.

I agree that score is not indicative of the quality of posts. However, it’s useful to measure what people who read this post or comment think of it positively or negatively or neutral.

I saw a NSFW image today morning and I unchekced the “show NSFW setting” and It did work
