  • Use it to do further research into how our always fleeting state of mind influences or preferences?

    I sometimes see people treat preferences like they are a static part of a personality. This has never been my experience. There are clear environmental features that influence my desires in real time. I am pretty sure advertising companies have been aware of this for a while also.

    Whu, are you really criticizing op for spending time to make content???

    Cirklejerking is nothing new. Dissing on the big heavily moderated instances is just a part of lemmy culture as I understand it. And its not like people on those big instances arent cirkejerking against the haters also.

    Here is a mirror. Why are you making a fuss about it? You yourself are free to block any of us if that is your preferred solution.

    I am not gonna block them, I am even subscribed to some spaces on .ml .Majority of the users are no different then elsewhere. But i do take the underlying warning seriously and try to pay extra attention to subtle propaganda (which exists on every instance). Encourage people to sign up to smaller less restrictive instances.

    I have read your explanation comment btw, and i am gonna be honest it makes no sense in the context of myself. The reason I personally cant relate with tankies is not because they are too left for my comfort but the exact opposite. Compared to my own anarchist ideals tankies lack qualities i deem important and exhibit propertied i recognize as fascist in nature.

    If you are now thinking my opinion on what counts as fascist isnt worth any salt to you then you are close to understanding my point. We are still both a part of this community regardless of both our valuable opinions and while yours frustrates me a bit, i hold no ill will against you.

    Some people be like that.

    But also there is so much toxic stuff with our world its impossible to avoid all of it. You cant do good on all the fronts at once.

    To illustrate (this is not a critique of any person)

    Lets say your deciding to not have that phone and only get clothes you know are made fairly.

    Good job. But are you still driving that dirty car? Even if its electric your still a part of the to overpaving of natural ground.

    How about turning vegetarian because we aint blind for the animal cruelty. And don’t forget to donate to save the sea projects because on a water based planet the health of the ocean is always the most important conversation of the day.

    Btw we still looking for people to join the anti war protest. If you truly care about the routine murder of civilians you will be there,

    While were at it we should probably quit our jobs. Being a programmer at a tech company isn’t exactly doing mych ney positive. Also the modern economy is screwing everyone and killing any chance of a future so its more ethical to volunteer instead of work.

    Also you are late to bring the kids to school. And your youngest is trowing a tantrum because you tried to feed them a more ethical alternative for nestle products.

    I am just illustrating. People have needs, lives and others to take care off. With out limited energy we can try and put some towards doing something good. We have to respect the choices people make to do that good. Even if its not our personal branch of activism.



  • I would like to see lemmy experiment with alternative ratios.

    Sometimes i would like to see is ranked by “scrolled by/liked” ratio but it might be tricky to get a reliable counter.

    More feasible may be a votes/subscribers ratio which would be higher if majority of a smaller space liked it but also could give exponential score if non subscribers start upvoting.
