Very nice cake, I’m sure yours will look as great!

It is going well, thank you!

Well said

Enjoy!

Had to double check the post body, this community seems fun, at first I was afraid it was actually trying to discredit him

This community is regularly posted on [email protected] posts about discussion communities.

After a while I just concluded that people on Lemmy are not that interested in casual conversation

Cold showers can help with that

Interesting concept!

Yes, it’s called casual conversation for a reason, you just discuss casual things: your hobbies, your pets, what you’ve been watching, music etc.

I avoided the top casual conversation topic which is the weather.

Ideally, people would posts their own life stories, but in the meantime those daily posts keep the community active.

OP, if you want more “diverse” discussions, there is [email protected], [email protected] , [email protected]

Après sinon sur Europresse ça a l’air disponible aussi:

Le paywall de La Libre saute avec une extension qui retire les paywalls

Nice one ha ha

you still custimise your feed to large extent by following stuff.

I’m not that familiar with the latest versions of the three I listed, but I’ve seen quite a few complaints on Reddit recently who seems to be pushing irrelevant content just for rage bait.

Also the things you mentioned about tracking are there on Twitter too:

Twitter’s privacy policy states they use the information collected to: “improve and personalise our products and services so that you have a better experience on Twitter, including by showing you more relevant content and ads, suggesting people and topics to follow, enabling and helping you discover affiliates, third-party apps, and services.”

It’s important to note that opting out of Twitter’s interest-based ads doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t see targeted advertising. For example, you may still see ads which are based on information such as what you Tweet, who you follow and the links you click on Twitter.

Often while browsing, if Twitter recognises that you’re interacting with something repeatedly, they will offer for you to follow that particular topic – which can be anything from celebrities to sports teams.

except the short form video type one, as you rely entirely on an algorithm.

Facebook, Twitter, even Reddit nowadays promote a certain type of content (reaction inducing), so unfortunately it’s not only shorts

To be fair, alt-right content is present in all types of medias: short videos, but also tweets, articles, long videos, essays, etc.

The fake Facebook groups created by Russia to antagonize two local groups did not need shorts videos to succeed: https://www.npr.org/2017/11/01/561427876/how-russia-used-facebook-to-organize-two-sets-of-protesters

If you look at Twitter nowadays, the “For you” is going to be more or less what you listed above

Take over the world !

TIL!

I’ll start with a classic: in French "the Hangover"has been changed to “Very bad trip”

Mbin is the new kbin. http://fedia.io/ if you want to have a look
