Not just comments. Even lurkers.

With the fediverse it IS the tech. Lack of recommendation engines, and overall more sluggish experience compared to established social media does deter a lot of people away. Some things might change, but lot of stuff that makes social media better for most people is against what fediverse wants

Europeans don’t get enough shit for writing numbers like that(jk).

What?

Ipo

It is lol. Reddit is a forum disguised as social media, something which does not require complicated recommendation systems to feel complete. Hence lemmy/piefed feel more usable in my opinion.

That only sounds good until you realise this political exposure is also the reason children are going the andrew tate route. It’s easier to influence children than it is to adults, and my point still stands, neither of these things must be shown to children without adult supervision atleast.

That’s actually also the reason I am here, lol. Reddit feed. has gone down the drain, although I don’t get Ice ads. I ain’t American.

Is there any particular reason for this?

Yeah but what do you want the kids to interact with? There’s a lot of sfw stuff like politics and hate speech I don’t want kids to be near of.

Kids having unsupervised access to internet is just a bad idea in my opinion, no matter safe you try to make it.

Also the moderation issue someone pointed here.

I like the parental control idea of yours, because of this reason. Atleast it helps to certain degree.

I mean, I too prefer being on lemmy over reddit. I was just wondering about the EUs current push for open source alternatives, if they can ever succeed in their pursuit.

Yeah, without a recommendation engine, or a for profit model, fediverse is destined to stay an enthusiast space.

Truth is, fediverse’s more fragile than people wanna Admit, that’s my opinion from using it for a week. Firstly, everything works on grants and donations, there’s no for profit model that’s running these servers. That’s bad because running social media is expensive.

Second fediverse’s still utility first, user experience second priority. there’s no recommendation algorithm on mastodon or most other fediverse servers.

Third, this is coming from a security stand point, fediverse is vulnerable to both centralised architecture, and decentralised architecture attacks.

Also it’s just, for 90% of people, if they want to have a website like tiktok, they will just go to tiktok. Especially in case of tiktok. Very few people want to try stuff that’s not as fully baked as corporate owned social media

Exactly, fediverse tikrok gives a lot of “eco-friendly cigarette” vibes.

Oh my god. Silksanity is now spreading to lemmy. /S

Also lemmy doesn’t have the ‘karma’ system. There’s literally no point to karma farm here. Like, it doesn’t matter if my comments get downvoted to oblivion, it’s not hurting my imaginary score that I have to maintain to interact in certain big subreddits.

Fediverse is still federated. I was talking about storing data decentralised, like using ipfs

Servers like centralised data storage
