Perfect meme to describe what’s happening. Yes, fedi has some UX issues and is not very beginner friendly.
But also, people have gotten so used to being spoonfed content from an algorithm that tells them what they want to see that they can’t handle the prospect of “build your own algorithm”
Corpo-curated-content is a hard drug and most people don’t realize that they have an addiction.
Tiktok exposes me to all kinds of viewpoints I’d never have even thought to search for.
Lemmy is a circle jerk by comparison.
When you say “build your own algorithm” what you really mean is “decide who is allowed in my echo chamber, and what is the sort order of the content from those people”. You can do that on Tiktok too, it’s called the “following” feed, smh.
But elitist Lemmy neckbeards are never willing to hear that they’re not actually special
I’d love to see the list of communities followed by each of the people who downvoted me. I have some pretty strong suspicions about what they’d look like.
You should be like me. I’ve just disabled the “vote” counter, and it feels amazing! Screw those people, they’re probably neckbeards or something, anyway.

You deserve an award for telling the truth
