Too much rage bait, also after a time in here it's quite apparent how much the algorithm tries to push you to addiction.
I miss the niche communities tho.

I always thought it was the proportions that weren't healty. You get 50% bread, 50% meat, with a tiny slice of lettuce in the middle.
Bro thinks he is Nickelodeon 😭
And remember kids, if it is a command, you can automate it and never do it again.
Not one per se, but I love when a piece of open source software absolutely destroys it's competition. I'm not talking Firefox vs. Chrome or Unity vs. Godot debate (both are better, don't @ me), I'm talking when it's not even close, the open alternative is just industry standard.
VLC, Calibre, OBS and maybe Blender come to mind.

As far as I'm concerned, everyone owns themselves watching Bojack Horseman.

Edit: Well, thanks for the gold kind stranger!
I found this handy reference a while ago. But yeah, we are kinda screwed.
To me, it was the astounding amount of interactivity between the community.
At first I thought this was temporarily caused by the whole migration from the R site. But, just out of curiosity, I signed up to Mastodon and have enjoyed myself just as much as here.
Most of the Lemmy post's / Mastodon toots have almost as much or more comments / boosts than upvotes or favorites. It feels so organic and makes me realize how much these huge companies employ technics to pretty much force to interact the way they see fit.
It reminds me of that good old saying "you are not immune to propaganda", well I guess neither I nor anyone is immune to psychological tricks either.
P.S. I also love the fact that since there isn't pretty much any money involved, most opinions and interactions are genuine. Like, who is gonna pay this dude to advertise a book through BookWyrm? That increases immensely the odds that said person is being honest with their opinion of that book. It's amazing.
WE HAD A GOOD THING YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH!
We had 3PA's, we had all the free labor in the world, just from passionate people who wanted to share the things they love, we had bots to fight spam, and extremely talented developers who made your stupid website work on mobile. It all ran like clockwork, if you could have just shut your mouth we'd all be fine right now.
But no, you just had to blow it up. YOU, AND YOUR GREED AND YOUR EGO.
Edit: grammar
People arguing a lot of legal stuff while I just think this was a dick move.
