Yeah, ok, now that you say it it’s obvious : this problem isn’t (talked about )on these sites and newspapers, so we don’t see it

Thanks for explaining 👍

As an admin, it’s a choice you can make about your instance

I’m afraid that i’ll annoy you by trying to understand, but if you’re willing to answer :
The problem is the ownership by one wealthy guy(, with the class/selfish interests we know), instead of, e.g., the users or kinda nobody like f.o.o.s. software.
So the problem is on these platforms ?

Please correct me if i’m missing something, or not, sry for insisting.

Ah, the joke in the verb “see” :) ?

You’re not on them, but most people are 🤷
So you end up being impacted, if only because we’re in a constitutional republic with a system of representative “democracy”

+1 for Nothingsup though

Yeah, that total ownership is one more good thing with Lemmy. Just have to check that the updates won’t bring breaking changes :)

I.d.k., most of this kind of stuff should be left in the settings i.m.o.(, i.e. whether to display downvotes, to allow downvotes on your publications, …), but congrats on hexbear for any kind of innovation, i like your extensive use of emojis :D !

An old idea is that it’d be nice to be able to vote from -10 to +10, or at least from -3 to +3

I’ve also learned a few months ago that Reddit makes more than a billion dollars in annual revenues. Their app hasn’t evolved and they’re relying on the work of thousands of unpaid volunteers, without any sign that they’ll do something useful with that money.
Oh well… (edit : ok, my bad, i didn’t see reddit answers and the ~new community wikis, they’re daring to improve, and their app is more complex than the others anyway, i just have a different idea as to who should take the decisions for the website and choose the budget, every app suck but i felt good when i saw reddit ads on youtube, they can expand, the most annoying is that each post is lost 24h later, among other things, oh well… Re-edit : Yeah, they’re also just greedy parasites/assholes who don’t deserve a single dollar(, contrary to the programmers and users, without which reddit wouldn’t exist))

Please downvote this comment but don’t ban me : it certainly feels to me that 𝕏 is much more resistant to the numerous demands of censorship that the states asked of Twitter, especially in its last years(, pre- and post-covid). It’s not something i’ve heard but that i’ve witnessed, and it feels unique enough to be mentioned : prior to that states simply had to ask, and now they have to enact laws.
Apart from this welcomed exception, every single social media increased its censorship, and most people accuse these social medias instead of realizing that the demand came from our states.

Writing that doesn’t make me a pro-capitalist, it’s just that the world isn’t in black and white, and it doesn’t mean that E.Musk won’t censor anti-capitalist accounts one day(, if they’re not already deboosted, which i haven’t yet seen a clear proof of).
And if you claim that E.Musk is saying stupid shit everyday don’t waste your energy i already agree with you(, e.g. the fact that he considers FAFO hilarious without realizing the double standard, i’d like to write FAFO for Sept.11th but it only works one way, if i’m sticking to Oct.7th then Hamas clearly acted as a consequence of Israel’s actions, and it’s just an example), my point is that his ownership of twitter is worth mentioning since it changed things, ‘from my point of view’/‘if i’m not mistaken’.
In his defense he’s not anti-China, repeatedly retweeted people like Glenn Greenwald, or that kind of anti-imperialist stuff, but yeah, ok, i also kinda know his other declarations aligned with D.Trump.

Back to the subject, i’d obviously prefer if 𝕏 or Reddit were like Lemmy, and if users had a control over the algorithm, but ultimately the real problem here are the laws of our capitalist-owned states, and also that we’ll still have decades before the population switches more fully from newspapers and t.v. to internet.

The downvote button should be around here
