I’ve been noticing that they’ve been getting worse and worse myself. I was recommenced Mojeek and Qwant, but I haven’t made the switch yet. I always forget to use them instead.
I make art that’s totally mine because I did it through AI. https://imgur.com/a/Rhgi0OC

Ty, I really like SJW, they’re pretty great here.
These are seasoned ex-redditors here, do you think trying to antagonize them is going to work? Move along.
They haven’t gone that far yet, but they’re on their way. I didn’t think they were like that in the beginning either, but they certainly were advertising themselves to be the best place to go in the beginning for some unknown reason. They now try and take over every community and/or shut down smaller ones. An admin was curating things, which isn’t a great sign. Granted, it was just an admin, but I’m not welcome there anymore. They act like reddit, so I think of them like reddit. That’s just my take, you’re totally welcome to disagree, and you obviously do. I didn’t see the value in spreading out in the fediverse, now I do.
Lemmy World is doing a pretty good job of that themselves. I don’t hate them, but I don’t understand why.
Holy shit, they also cancelled it. Lmao
On Wednesday, some of the people who posted about the gift card said that when they went to redeem the offer, they got an error message saying the voucher had been canceled. When TechCrunch checked the voucher, the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”
Mine too, we all voted and they listened.
Same, I like it here a lot. Kersploosh is great and listens before he decides. I really like the non-addictive quality of Lemmy in general, but specifically this instance. I check it in the morning and sometimes check a little later in the day, it’s nice.
anything it recommends suffers from being sourced in a void, devoid of true meaning.
You just described most of reddit, anything Meta, and what most reviews are like.
I think we’re on the same page, I don’t care if they read my feed in the slightest. Reddit made a shit ton off of me and my friends and I didn’t care about that either. They were providing a free service and I used it, make money. My issue with reddit was/is, they think they’re the product and treat everyone as such.
Be the change you want to see
Yep, that’s one of the things I’m doing right here by getting the word out for everyone to spread out through the Fediverse. People were saying that when I joined, but I didn’t understand what the ramifications were. Of course, I can’t tell anyone on the largest instance, lol.
Nice, it looks like you can do it manually too.
When I unfollowed everything for the first time, I did it manually. I spent hours using a Facebook-provided feature to click unfollow on each of my friends, groups, and pages.
I’m pro-fediverse, that’s why I think it’s just as bad. There is one instance in particular, that has the vast majority of Lemmy, that is controlling the narrative for most Lemmy users and it probably will only get worse. I was banned from that one because an admin was curating what I said. Now I don’t really have a voice over there because I’m not savvy enough to do an alt that they couldn’t tell. So here I am, not being able to let people know that I’ve noticed them being curated and they’ve also banned my community in the biggest instance (that one I like).
This fact is rarely discussed but a major factor why the fediverse helps with democratization of the internet. Free information.
Absolutely, I want to keep it that way. I think corporations taking over one of the big instances would be subtle and will have terrible consequences for the fediverse. People sign up for it, not knowing, and then get curated just like on Facebook.
Why not both being an issue? Why wouldn’t they say who they really are if they’re a major corporation.
Meta (or similar) probably is already running one of our major instances. We don’t know who actually owns all of them.
It’s terrifying and super cool at the same time. I think all of the execs at these big tech companies need to rewatch the Terminator.

I knew about the cables, I didn’t know how extensive they are.
In 10 years it’ll probably be good enough to take over completely. Right now, it can take photographer and artist jobs pretty easily for news and online magazines.

They already have tbf. Which is actually fine if we had universal basic income, then AI away. We don’t though, we don’t even have universal healthcare.
I’ve been using this app and have really liked it. Please tell me that I chose well and it doesn’t have hidden problems: https://antennapod.org/
Thanks for letting me know that Qwant is Bing. It’s hard as a typical person to find any info on search engines, so I appreciate the heads up.
