active is about what posts have a lot of comments recently.

hot is completely useless because its filled with content that’s less than an hour old with virtually no comments. its very poor quality content.
its not about the instances, those are actually hindering growth by dividing communities across instances and defederating them. lemmy is basically several copies of reddit in a trench coat pretending to be a social network.
we don’t need more memes, we need people to start going to the games, movies, shows, and hobbies they like and making posts.
until personal interest groups are populated people will not use this site. its basically 1 big meme sub right now with some tech and politics sprinkled on top.
outside of the keyboard, you could defiantly make this into a viable terminal interface. just make sure all of the “widgets” are relevant information and its not a bad idea.
so your argument is that sometimes its funny to mis-tag posts? guess we should untag porn posts as a joke then.
I have never seen a non nsfw post that wasn’t porn on Lemmy.
Most of the time those professors make next to nothing from you buying the book. Unless it’s their direct commercial product, they’re getting screwed just like you are.
You’re attributing combative interaction to an algorithm on a site that has no algorithm. Congratulations you just proved the algorithm isnt needed to cause interaction. People do this with no computer forcing them to, but tons of people here are convinced that every other site is filled with bots manipulating content for people when the people are asking for the content, sometimes very directly.
And you’re the one doing it all, not a computer. the computer is not that smart, you need to tell it what you want to see.
The fact that the user is the one imputing the data to determine the received content in some way. You’re selecting the content you interact with, not a black box trying to take over the population. They just want you to stay on the site, look at the ads, and never leave. They don’t care about your political allegiance or what movies you like, they will feed you whatever you want.
No one forces you to engage in arguments on Reddit or Twitter. You have autonomy over who you interact with on both sites. You’re not being forced or manipulated to do anything. If you engage in this these things people perceive as negative, it’s because you choce to do it of your own free will.
There is no truth to it. The vast majority of negative interactions and aberations on a social media site is brought about by the users, not by the operators of the site. These tools they have are not as powerful as you think they are. The only reason they have any power at all is because the users give them that power because that is what they want. You don’t have a successful site by manipulating the user base to do what you want them to do, they will just leave. You simply give them what they want and they never leave. “The algorithm” is there to give the user what they want, and they’re actually really bad at doing that.
Can someone explain to me why everyone on this site thinks that everything bad about other social media sites is somehow being forced upon the users to enslave them to “the algorithm”? It’s like socialist Qanon.

oka. explain how you centralize governmental control of the economy without enabling the government to profit from it.
The reality is that it’s probably much easier than you might think.
