they have an alternate algorithm. when news like this come up, they perceive it as negative and it impacts whatever engagement they have. Similar to how we start to tune out of stuff that make us upset.

They went all in on and are double downing on “fake news” because they identify with their leader all too well.

edit: the jubilee videos are a good example of how they’ll rush to debate a “lib”, but they all can’t agree with each other’s facts its insane.

i’m pretty conflicted. it’s like watching two good people told to fight another for the sake of entertainment.

The everyday person has political views that can be categorized as extremist. Freedom is more costly.

Yeah I reacted way too quickly. Then I realized half of X bot traffic spoofs everywhere. They’re intentionally doing a shakeup of everything and this one got under my skin cause I’m a daily user.

But before this was that outside US router ban that was pretty real. The DJI ban. So these types of news cascade and its worrisome.

Thanks for the extra digging, no true privacy but at least there’s some transparency with the vpns.

Makes sense I should probably reframe it as is nord not going to sell their users out without a fight.

Only true privacy is like the tails stuff and some complicated routing stuff all the self hosting guys here probably know about.

Is it safe enough to use vpns based out of the US? I’m using nord which is non us.

yeah meant no negativity. i upvoted and agreed with you cause i feel the exact way after seeing enough of these posts.

rubberducking for those with social anxiety. Also small friction to get surface level answers that normally took digging from multiple sources.

it’s a study monster that initially wiped chegg, duolingo, sparknotes etc. The double edge is that people forgot how to take notes, learn fundamentals to handle complex problems.

we should call this out as engagement bait. the media gets ad revenue and these posts are rage comedy identification depending on your politics. No actual journalism here.

First saw this in Kohl’s , but it kinda felt more predatory so I wonder how psychologically it’ll work.

Don’t give up but definitely don’t work it to perfection. Also comic book with multiple races is gonna stress your drawing ability to the max.

It’s low key and has a slightly higher barrier to entry. This weeds out a lot of people that can’t bother to try. People here seem level headed

Standardized connector for everything with backwards compatibility

So the US is now stuck with ICE agents everywhere until they get DOGEd out? No real freedom of movement anymore and I imagine these guys are worse than cops. I anticipate they’ll make gangs out of themselves cause they’re so large and unchecked

Real time ai fact checking is the selling point. Don’t have high hopes but it can do better than grok

Kinda but reddit is a mature voting system mixed with capitalism. There’s a gamification with getting upvotes with trophies achievements, minimums to join certain communities. Reddit is a publicly traded stock which influences a lot of behaviors.

Here in lemmy there aren’t rewards for high upvotes besides the sorting.

Knowing there’s a lower reason to get data mined.

When we aren’t competing for top comments then there’s no pressure to post witty stuff.

The more people draw from reddit is like playing an MMO with a bunch of bots with tons of empty servers. Here it feels like a private server that’s more relaxed.

To be fair there’s a lack of niche that sometimes I go to reddit for. but when it gets too loud (politics, controversy). It’s best to look somewhere quiet. It’s kinda like option calls, on reddit your comment can spike overnight and you’ll get that reddit karma dopamine. But the lows can be harsh when people start getting combative.

Tldr lemmy is more slower paced and less addicting.

Not really new, but it’s the normalization from his handlers. He has the right but the lack of condemnation from his handlers is what should be shamed post trump

Not associating with as many bots.
