I’ve been on lemmy for over a year now, and I just realized I used to read all those HackerNews articles + their comments, I haven’t done that in probably 6 months because the discussion here has gotten much better. What’s changed for you with Lemmy over the last year?

    Lemmy is teaching me things by accident.

    Most recently; I’ve started learning media literacy and now I can see all the same manufactured consent and narrative shaping that exists in legacy media and social media like Facebook and reddit; but in .world and lemmee too

        My goodness, that was a roller coaster. Although I found it lacking in cohesiveness (I’m not sure that the evidence supports the conclusions), it’s certainly a thought-provoking article. Thanks for the link.

        I wish the .worlders & lemmee’s would open up a book to learn this for themselves.

          The hard truth is .world and .ee deserve to make their space exactly like reddit and/or facebook if that’s what they want.

          They have their space, we have ours. The weekly feud posts at .world are hilarious. Desperate attempts to keep the barn doors closed so no one escapes to the better instances.

          These sorts of people eventually show their hand and people will leave on their own. Most recently the Luigi related debacles.

            i wonder if this is why .ee rose to prominence in user counts.
