I believe most don’t officially

I don’t think Lemmy tracks your views. So it can’t exclude them from your feed.

If you sort by hot or hop few hours, you should get more new posts. And stop refreshing the feed.

They might start a big grassroots movement. Artificially. You might call it a turfgrass movement. Maybe use a genericized brand name. That seems fitting

The city should

Can I choose the neighbor?

Obviously DEI training isn’t to blame.

But the point about a new tree-trimming policy seems logical at first glance. Does anyone know if it is valid?

How is chromium “not well known”? It’s a pretty well known fact that most popular browsers (except for safari and Firefox) use chromium

Russia does a lot of terrible things. Invading countries. Killing POWs and civilians.

Domestically they have assassinated opposition leaders, tortured prisoners to death and persecuted members of the LGBT+ community.

But criminalizing being an asshole? I don’t really care that much.

Even though Russia pretends it isn’t, it is a country at war. Censorship is pretty normal during wartime.

And making fun of disabled people isn’t okay. Whether the country is at war or not. Maybe not quite not-okay enough for prison. But I can’t say that I’m terribly upset

The instance is the part after the @. They host users and communities. Admins manage the instance.

The community is the thing you subscribe to. Moderators manage the community.

I’m pretty new.

Lemmy is great. It doesn’t have as many active hyper specific communities as reddit. But there are still plenty of active communities.
There is no attention based algorithm. But the more basic sortings work well enough. I already spend too much time here.

I tried mastodon and Twitter a few years back. I still have absolutely no idea how that whole microblogging thing is supposed to work. Am I just supposed to scream into the void? Same thing with pixelfed.

If people link peertube videos from Lemmy, peertube works well. But the feed needs work. I don’t really care about the topic of the video. So the filter by topic isn’t that useful. I’d like to filter by language. And then find well researched videos by someone who is enthusiastic about a topic. Any topic. I don’t know if there simply aren’t that many or if I just can’t find them.

I think attention based algorithms could help retain new users. I think there are many who try fediverse platforms and just don’t stay long. And if we get more users that stay longer, we get more content, and then niches can form.

To not lose current users, and just because of mental health, it would probably be better if the attention based feeds could be turned off in the settings.

And perhaps one of our states leaves the country.

I don’t think reddit even has an option for alttexts. Lemmy really encourages it.

Social media networks without attention based algorithms also aren’t quite as addictive.

It’d be the Gategate. It would only be called Billgate if Bill was a woman.

Usually we teach them from the time they are 3 years old. So basically when they are teens
