Not sure if this will work, reddit isn’t shittier just from corporate interest instead is all these things too: community , ai automated bots, and advertising. Now if Lemmy court the eye of bad actors I would fear our moderation may struggle with keeping bad actor bots from our platform, same goes for instance administrators and community moderators, what systems do we really have to keep them in check?

most likely although less so as we dont have teams of expert psychologists working around the clock. i find Lemmy in particular is as scrollable as Reddit and thus addictive, where thing change are on the Instagram clones based around decentralization, they aren’t very popular to begin with and mostly find photography that is very much detached from the fake photos on Instagram that set beauty standards high and cause many people all sorts of adverse effects.

Do you live in the country far from a city. In the UK where I live there’s been a rise in homelessness, roads are packed full of cars, the water treatment companies are poisoning our rivers and beaches, I saw the environmental agency destroying a habitat that was home to several birds, old victory buildings getting knocked down in anticipation of student accommodation, high street in my city has betting shops and casinos, local shops can’t compete with the corporations.

You could make a film community or look for an alternative film community hosted in Lemmy.

Ask Lemmy is for questions.

No ones truly anything, nationalism is a horrid thing and sorry people have treated you as they have, its more they’re own insecurity then anything to do with you.

You need to cross post this or something, and keep researching as your an asset to humanity!

Would love to hear more of what you’ve found.

My right wing uncle just yesterday posed this question in reverse oddly enough, it was a jarring conversation, soon ended when I pointed out the plentiful admittions of hateful rhetoric the right have spouted.

His information comes from YouTube personality’s and I take great pleasure in researching the shit he regurgitate and showing him my finding with carefully selected source as unbiased as possible. in a way I feel sorry for the working class right winger, misguided, fueled purely by escapism and negative emotions then peddlers with skin in the game wrap them up with crazy notions of patriotism and conspiracy

Society has collapsed.

I bring back slightly big stone and chalk.

Spotube and libretube, they both down load ive only ever used the downloaded content within app and am unsure of they’re respective formats
