You're missing political extremism

replace world news with US news and its pretty close

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

I woeld argue that "news" should be replaced with "US News without mention it is specific to the US" ;P

And furry art... Or was that just my feed?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I was not prepared for the nsfw furry art.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

few months ago I was worrying about the lack of furry stuff here, but fortunately it is slowly catching up

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I haven't seen any with nsfw turned off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I keep hearing about this but I never get to see any. I mean I'm not into it but I feel FOMO from people discussing it lmao.

Here on Lemmy.ml (cuz it's the least defederated), you get political whiplash from the pro-Russian and pro-ukraine posts.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

OK I gotta check that out more

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is pro Russia hexbear? Or are there others? I've blocked all their subs so I'm not seeing it.

Someone make a word cloud out of all the comments. The biggest ones will be Capitalism, Linux, and Beans.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Gotta respect the Linux lovers, they go hard lol

Lemmy looks like that with some of the filters, to avoid that you can.

  • Use a different filter: All - Top 6hrs
  • Block bots
  • Use own subscriptions.

Plus you can block bots on the account level, rather than just with a search.

When i was using reddit, my feed looked like:

Cat, cat, cat, meme, cat, cat, cat, cat, cursed Minecraft, cat, cat

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Oh I forgot the cats lol

Yeah. It is a great description of your posting history.

Nothing wrong with your posting history, just puzzled as to what your intention was in posting this.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's not posting history btw

You forgot that rare horrible news that make you feel soo sick you instantly just close the the app and spend the next 10 minutes forcing yourself to not think about it but it only makes it worse so you look for any random video to watch to try and forget.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Damn, I think I'm too jaded by the internet. I've read/seen some horrible shit but it never made me react this way. I just keep scrolling.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I guarantee you you'd feel something like that after reading the title of an article that contain the gruesome description of how a 6 years old child was found after being SA'd by her uncle.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I literally watched a video of a man being beheaded last night. I'm afraid I've been completely desensitized to horror.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I never saw the appeal of such videos. I saw fucked up videos as a teen because my friends would share them and push each other to watch them as some kind of twisted adulthood passage rite ( just dumb kids being dumb ) but nowadays, i can barely watch any gore.

Nonetheless, when people tell me about how desensitized to gore they are i always think they'd be great medical staff on emergency services.

Why is the last 'memes' not aligned? Why is news the only one with a capital letter? Why is nothing centered?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Why did you write "Wjy" the last time and not Why? And "alligned" instead of aligned? The subliminal messaging is never endning

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Haha ok you got me on this one

The autocorrect on my keyboard is set to French and somehow it thinks that 'wjy' is more correct than 'why'

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

That's how you start seeing it when you scroll

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Well edited lol

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Thanks captain obvious

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

lemmyo kinda needs a better algorithm.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Joke's on you. I'm in dark mode all the time.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I'm okay with this

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Needs more memes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not really... just lost, hahahaha.

Please explain!

What would you like to see?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Actually couldn't see your comment till I switched accounts. Not saying I'd like to see anything. Just my feed basically, top day lol. Subscribed to over 50 but this is my feed, I'm not complaining or anything it's just funny or cute to me. This is all just for entertainment purposes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah, not sure what is happening with that also. Ghost bans or instance blocks, could be many things.

Awesome, thanks for the clarification!
