Where do you get your video content nowadays? (self.asklemmy)

On the old site, there were a number of funny video communities with regular posts, for example /r/Unexpected, /r/PublicFreakout, or /r/WhatCouldGoWrong. While there are plenty of memes on Lemmy, we have relatively little video content. Those of you who used to frequent video subs, what have you replaced them with since coming to Lemmy?

I got to tell you, I don’t really miss those subs. I don’t think they are good for people.

Agreed. I had to unsubscribe from a lot of them when I realized it was becoming my "daily two minutes of hate"

"daily two minutes of hate"

Dang, you're right.

What made Reddit bearable for me was that more than half my subs were cat/cute animal subs. It helped drown out the stuff that made me angry or feel despair.

Wow I never realized that's where we are. Except Orwell underestimated the length.

[–] mrbubblesort@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I agree a lot with what Orwell said in he's book, but actually I think Huxley hit a little closer to home on this point. I'm sure you've seen this before, yeah?

OP just made me realise that I haven't seen such videos in a little while and honestly I agree with you. I'm better without.

For real, it reads like satire. This is the shit you are missing?

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. It's the diversity that make social platforms interesting, even if some of it isn't interesting for me.

That's why we can choose which communities we join on the Fediverse.
