Strange, I don’t get anything risque, just tech videos and some improv comedy. I still don’t like shorts though. I’m highly tempted to use revanced to take out the shorts section.

I think its a little rough around the edges, but thats to be expected given that its less than a year old. The big hit for me is the mobile app which just isn’t that good. This will come with time. I’d rather have an half-baked implementation thats showing promise over what Reddit is doing. I like decentralized social media because you can pick and choose what communities you interact with. If lemmy.world decides to go full enshitification (although I can’t figure out how they would monetize), you can just pack up and going to another community.
This honestly reminds me of when I was growing up in the early 00s, I was part of several different community forums that I loved dearly. There were other groups I looked into, but some were just toxic and unappealing, so I left after a while. I feel like Lemmy gives us the same freedom. I really hope to meet some awesome people here. Right now it’s just big enough to still allow meaningful dialogue and create cool relations. I felt like Reddit was too big for its own good even with niche subreddits; it didn’t feel like posting was worth it as it would get buried or just get a low effort response.
I can’t wait for other social media platforms to do the same thing. Social media companies are so stagnant they just copy what other companies do without thinking if it’s a good idea or not.
That’s because the only thing American society are the treats. We don’t have healthcare, we don’t have a third space ( a place besides home and work where we can just enjoy life without spending money), we don’t have a house we could ever afford, but damnit, we can buy $5 jalapeño poppers at Chili’s and buy streaming services! American society has placed importance around net worth and what material things you have.
Prices will never ever go down because it’s honestly the only thing we have.
