  • I’d be curious to hear their explanation as to why the Tiktok “addictive” system of switching from one video to the other is more addictive than YT shorts who does the same(, or Instagram reels, switching videos on 𝕏 or Facebook, Vine back then, …).
    For now, their arguments are : infinite scroll and push notifications(, present on every social media), autoplay, recommandations, …

    This includes features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, and its highly personalised recommender system.

    Tiktok is being accused of using the same system as other social platforms, sure we believe that our arguments are more coherent, or everyone knows that they’re just lazy excuses, and nobody cares.
    Yeah, it’s probably that we gave up on democracy, and nobody with power cares about Tiktok.

    Also, our french president keeps repeating over and over the lie that using Tiktok leads you to salafist content after 3-4 videos, and no-one stops him.
    I know for a fact that it’s false since almost half of my use of Tiktok was for islamist content(, ~50-100h over ~3 years), and i never once met salafist content(, there was Shahid Bolsen that was fiercely anti-imperialist, and he was pro-Sahel countries, that’s the worst i found, but i suppose that the trick is that extremism is relative ; i believe that the Quran should be interpreted in its historical context and show(ed) a path, but most literalists will be frowned upon by ‘most atheists’/‘any islamophobes’).
    I do recognize that anti-imperialist[1], communist, and islamist content appears more often on Tiktok than YT Shorts, but i.m.o. it’s because Tiktok doesn’t censor as much as YT Shorts, and not because it promotes such content.
    They probably already interfered in Google results, and intend to interfere in l.l.m. results as well, masks off right ?

    He also said a few times that the chinese Tiktok is mostly focused on educative content while our Tiktok is focused on entertainment, but just hope that nobody will verify to see that there is everything on both platforms and it depends on the user choices.
    It’s just like when they’re claiming that social media use will modify the shape of our brain. Now, they claim that violent games may make people violent(, despite the experiment of the last 30 years, it’s violent people that choose violent games, boomers). That’s quite certainly a throwaway issue put forward in order to make a concession later though.
    I spent a lot of time as a teenager on loup.org and it helped in improving my writing&social skills, most americans had so many great experiences with Club Penguin that it still exists today, even if some pedophiles were indeed there, but let’s not throw the baby with the bathwater. Anyway, we just use this pretext as an excuse to regulate our internet.

    They can just say what they want unchallenged, i’d like to see once a debate with someone knowledgeable really disagreeing with him.
    And when they do have a contradictory debate, then they’ll just end up disagreeing after exchanging arguments for an hour(, sometimes less). Lock them together in a room for 1-2 days until they agree with each other. I’d like to see a debate ending with “can i invite you to discuss it further this evening at a table ?”, they have five years between each election and won’t spend most of their time talking with each other.
    Or, if they’re truly so busy, then force them to exchange public letters(, with the help of assistants), so that they can have the time to think more deeply about ‘their own’&‘the opposite’ arguments.
    It seems that they’ll instead decide something, advance a few valid arguments(, without any counter-arguments), and we just roll with it. At least, i don’t see a contradictory debate(, deputies aren’t really debating, and i don’t see how they could, so each one is just making a speech, and often have voting instructions by their party), which would be useless since we’re not deciding anyway, so continue like that…

    [1] : I never said that it doesn’t mean being anti-France : one could have been against royalism when France was a kingdom, or slavery when it was allowed, would it have been being anti-France ? Now, some people are against imperialism/hegemony. There are (+) and (-) to most things, and that includes France who has, e.g., an interesting past.
    By definition, you can’t evolve without diversity, both external as a species and internal as a (commune/)country(/federation).

    One last thing(, that’s linked to EVs), have you ever heard of the “three old things” ? I discovered that ‘a few months’/‘several weeks’ ago, and i’m still thinking about it from time to time : https://youtu.be/6E89qUXTX-k?t=2149

    (https://files.catbox.moe/b1kfo4.mp4 if the video player doesn’t work)

    It’s not as official as the five year plan, but it’s confirmed here or there :

    From aspirations to own watches, bicycles and sewing machines (the “older three things”) of the late 1970s, to the color televisions, refrigerators and washing machines (the “old three things”) of the late 1980s, to the stereos, air conditioners and mobile phones (the “new three things”) of the late 1990s, and to the computers, pianos and automobiles (the “newer three things”) of today

    As for the next five-year plan(, with brain-computer interfaces) :

    Without China, it’d be ingrained in all of us that socialism can never work, and has failed everytime it was tried, probably for centuries/ever. Just another one of these lies. So many conditions had to be reunited for being given one last chance after 1991(, explosive growth that no country ever went through, being “busy” in the Middle-East, a successful chinese strategy, …)

    It’s ironic that our (religious )values point out that a society should be judged by how it treats the poorest/weakest/l(e)ast of us, but we’ll be anti-socialist with an “exploit or be exploited” mindset.

    Anyway 🤷

    I think you’ll hear more of it in the future, it’s kinda like a “new” Huawei.
    I was surprised to spot a BYD dealership in the south of Nantes in France, that’s when the numbers start feeling real.
    1000016004
    1000016005
    https://www.byd.com/eu/find-store


    If you live in the US, protectionnism may prevent you from seeing a BYD car dealership. A.f.a.i.k. there’s none, perhaps because there’s a 100% tariff on chinese EVs, and/or for other reasons(, security is just another one of these lies we like to tell our citizens).

    Canada also had a 100% tariff rate until a few weeks ago, they’ll now admit 49.000 vehicles each year at a 6.1% tariff rate.

    In the EU, states put a 20-30% tariff(, a.f.a.i.k. their reasons are the existence of chinese subventions, suddenly free trade doesn’t benefit the states practicing it because it destroys the local companies, anyway…)

















  • I don’t have an access to everything from your account, which wasn’t that big, including your inbox and possible private messages, but i made a copy of your comments and posts if you’re interested : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1aA8MU4ToqNwKQb3RyW6W77FtNFOei6Rl
    It’s in .json, and i don’t know of an existing lemmy viewer that accepts a .json(, excepting the app i’m making obv.), but if you’re like me you’d perhaps like to keep an archive of what you wrote, somewhere on your ‘hard drive’/cloud.
    (Good to know if you didn’t that admins have a command to “purge” accounts, which shouldn’t be your case since it was a temporary ban, but when your account is purged no-one can ever recover its content anymore, which may suck depending on whether the user cares about h.er.is posts/comments)

    The principle behind trolling is that we can never be sure, but it’s possible that Skavau ragebaited you into getting you banned, we know that he reported you many times(, on his own admission), and he’s kinda implying that he had a goal in mind here
    Like, it’s probably not the case here, but it’s common knowledge that as soon as the 90s, e.g. on m.m.o. forums, users realized that they won’t get banned for gaslighting another user, and if the other user ends up throwing an insult, then s.he will get a temporary ban which could affect h.er.is ingame character(, moderators of that forum were usually paid). So you have players that are now recounting with nostalgia how they managed to get multiple players banned with a single “it’s a skill issue”, or something along these lines.
    Anyway, next time perhaps don’t try to have the last word with him, your anger is sometimes a bit painful to read, and getting downvoted even for good comments(, because some people followed you from another comment or post,) is never a pleasant experience, everyone seeks some amount of social validation as you already know 🤷, not that you seem weak enough to be affected

    I’ve quickly looked for instances that explicitly claim that they’ll never ban their users, even temporarily, but haven’t found it, there were more than 700 of them at one point, and now “only” more than 500.
    Typing “censor” in the search bar here brought https://lemmybefree.net/, even if it’s not perfect.

    I.m.o., instances should never be allowed to ban anyone sitewide, even temporarily(, except for spamming/bot accounts). Or why not some of them explicitly stating that they want to represent a group of users, and reserving themselves the right to ban a user hurting their reputation, but they should be in minority.
    Communities should also never be allowed to permaban, and a one-year ban should be the maximum, but only after, e.g., at least 3 one-month bans, themselves preceded with a demand to simply edit the comment/post.

    Another really awesome thing with Lemmy that i love, compared to reddit, is their modlog : moderators explain publicly the reason for banning someone, and have to display the censored comment.
    Meanwhile, not only will reddit moderators usually won’t even give you an explanation, sometimes even if you send them a d.m., but reddit won’t even warn you that your comment or post has been shadowbanned/censored, i systematically have to double-check with other accounts, and one day i may have to use VPNs if they begin to shadowban you according to your IP adress.

    Anyway, you posted hundreds of comments for something like 18h straight or more, and it doesn’t seem like it was a pleasant experience, i hope that you’ll have more success/fun next time :) !




  • Then the first part(, leaving the choice of blocking an instance to the user,) is a relatively common desire since i’ve already seen it expressed before. If enough people keep asking for it then it may happen.
    I’m making a lemmy app and among other things you’ll be able to follow (a group of )users and not only (a group of )communities, sthg reddit will end up adopting probably. And you’ll also be able to display the “All” tab with multiple accounts. So, if you have an account on lemmy.world, as well as on the instances blocked by lemmy.world, then you’ll be able to have access to all instances at once.
    You can see the instances blocked by going to sh.itjust.works/instances, or lemmy.ml/instances, and as you can see only very little instances, for spamming i think, were blocked. Which means that you’re probably already seeing ~99% of lemmy in your “All” tab ?

    It doesn’t solve the presence of moderators in communities but that may be kinda out-of-topic from your original subject.

    (i’m going to sleep r.n., so don’t be surprised if i don’t answer before tomorrow, not that there’s necessarily something to add, but you seemed to go further than being able to talk with all instances from any instance of origin)
