  • This is Lemmy bruh. We still be burning discs on the reg.

    Seriously though, I still like to listen to CDs in my car. Something about making that perfect 20 song banger mixtape just hits different. And then slotting old CDs and having no idea what songs are on there but usually being pleasantly surprised. Spotify/Bluetooth is too easy and casual, I tend to pay more attention and enjoy the music more when listening to CDs.


  • I don’t think OP is totally against reaction memes or GIFs.

    But I think in this particular screenshot the quality of the memes is very low and the quantity is too high. Like they’re all just very common reaction memes of peoples faces, and they’re really not clever or funny at all in the context of the thread. So it’s just a bunch of jackwagons all trying to make the same lame, tired joke and upvoting each other.

    Reaction GIFs can be good content but they have to be clever and fit the situation. Reddit threads are extremely watered down at this stage and there just aren’t enough unique, interesting comments to make it worth wading through all the slop.

    I don’t think entitlement has anything to do with this though. Anyone who used the internet and Reddit for a long time (and/or uses Lemmy now) knows that the current version of Reddit is flooded with low-effort basic content compared to how it used to be. Just commenting doesn’t do anything, because the onslaught of low-effort drivel and badly executed memes totally drowns out everyone else from having any kind of substantive discussion.

    I think it’s just lemmy.world, and they actually aren’t defederated from dbzer0, they just blocked the piracy community specifically. I think dbzer0 is pretty much fully federated with all the major servers except for lemmygrad. With .world blocking the piracy community, it only affects their users, dbzer0 users can still participate in any lemmy.world content.

    There’s also this site, which gives you more options for filtering, but also seems to throw up errors pretty consistently in my experience.

    https://defed.xyz/

    In terms of figuring out which instances are cool with one another, this site is also quite useful. It’s a web of trust model that a majority of major instances participate in.

    It shows which instances endorse one another, with those instances obviously being federated. It also shows how instances choose to describe/tag themselves, which can give you a better understanding of their general vibe. And it also shows which instances are viewed with suspicion, as they are hesitated or censured by other instances.

  • Anything that doesn’t put the ENTIRE content discovery engine fully in the hands of the users and that doesn’t make content moderation a crowdsourced-only transparent, auditable endeavor is going to reproduce l’ancien régime.

    Aren’t you just describing Lemmy?

    Content discovery is fully in the hands of the users, and content moderation is both crowd-sourced and transparent.

    Upvotes, downvotes, and reports are all forms of crowd sourced moderation. The modlog is transparent and auditable. What are you on about?
