Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !askouija@lemmy.world
Both and question everything you read/hear and try to double check everything that seems important.
Is this true? Where's your source?
I'm so sorry! Of course, here you go: https://www.edps.europa.eu/press-publications/publications/techsonar/fake-news-detection_en
I'm honestly disappointed that wasn't a rick roll.
But thanks anyways lol
Different things for different needs.
I get all my news from RSS feeds and get JUST my social media from Mastodon. Lemmy is more for the quick Reddit fix.
Break your stick into 2, so you get one for each.
Bias here but I say Fediverse.
Mainstream media will do anything to suck up your personal data and fool you into thinking an advert is real content.
Meanwhile here there are no ads and if someone posts an ad well it generally gets down voted. Also having actual numbers to votes and being able to down vote is nice unlike other platforms where they obscure negative votes or disable them in general.
What's your goal?
Making use of any of them.
Sure. Then just try both, see where you get the most use out of, and focus on that?
They are not equivalences of each other.
same content, different platform
But offered rather than fed.
threadiverse-aggregated links to a mainstream outlet still take you to the same page you’d find if you just went to the outlet site directly
same potential for ads, sponsored links, reccomeded articles, etc. just separated by one step
But my 'homepage' isn't cluttered with ads for shoes and luggage , people/things it thinks i should follow, and fake reviews.
fair
Mainstream seems filled with bots, and non-mainstream seems filled with the types that those in the mainstream would rather not put up with.
Both.
Here because communities need nurturing to thrive. Some have really started to do well, others will get there eventually if people engage (post, comment).
There because there are a lot of established communities, especially niche ones, across tons of platforms that are still worth engaging with.
I posted in a nintendo sublemmy a few days ago. No one had posted there in months. It instantly got 25 upvotes, and commenters are winding down now, but with such a slow sublemmy, it's going to stay on their front page for years.
Then one guy gave me shit for putting my opinion in the title, and not in the message body with some long form essay on the topic. And people upvoted him. Still don't get that one, but if I were easily offended I'd have deleted the post so people wouldn't see him mocking me for years. It would discourage some others from posting in dead communities that have a following. Whereas I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures for my next post.
We should post in one quiet sub each day.
Lemmy has the issue that it's user base is small and click-y. Still better then Reddit though.
Should you like apples or bananas? You should like the color red. Let others choose everything for you and soon you will wake up imprisoned.
Heads or tails
