India is wild :(

It's very simple actually. Russia invaded a souvereign country. The end.

On sh.itjust.works, shit just works.

As for apps, I'm using Liftoff, which works well, but hasn't seen an update for a while, and I don't know how active the dev is. I'd rather not use Jerboa, which has been created by tankies, or any of the ad-infested ones, like Boost, because I think it's despicable to try and profit off of user-generated content on a platform that's meant to be free (could have stayed on Reddit if I wanted that).

I don't think Lemmy will reach or overtake Reddit. That's a good thing in my opinion, because massive platforms come with massive moderation problems that aren't so easy to tackle for decentralised networks. We've seen that when someone posted kiddie porn and several servers went down to scrub the filth from their systems.

If anything, Lemmy already has a pretty high amount of troll communities, thankfully mostly contained within their own servers, which enables separation through defederation (speaking of defederation, I'd love to have an option to block servers on the user level).

"Are you not entertained?"

If Trump makes it again, the chance of worldwide chaos is scary high. Russia escalating the European conflict, China reaching for Taiwan, and we're not even halfway through the list.

People could see their reflection in the water long before they climbed down from the branches.

Still on Liftoff, but I wonder if it's still being updated.

Only a few years older than me. Absolutely not yet old enough to be a boomer.

Instead of reposting it here, you link to a corpo website.

What kind of pirate are you? LOL

Users need more control over the kind of content they want to see. The problem Lemmy has is very similar to the main problem with the internet as a whole: the current model is that of a "regulator" who controls the flow of information for us.

What I'd like to see is giving users the tools to filter for themselves, which means the internet as a whole. Not interested in sports, let me filter it all out by myself, instead of blocking individual parts piecemeal.

The problem is that no company has an incentive to work on something like that, and I wouldn't even know where to start designing such interface tools on my own, but there is, for example, a keyword blocker for YouTube that prevents video that contain said terms from appearing on my timeline. I've used it to block everything "Trump", for example. I'd like to see more of that.

Mainstream media is probably smart enough stay clear of obvious conspiracy theories. Bad for business.
