    Yet another reason to avoid the US as a tourist. Looks like hotels and airlines did not bribe Trump sufficiently.

      Seriously, this is so stupid. I’m never setting foot in US soil ever again.

          Lemmy is just a malagasi fish-basket hand-weaving forum for enthusiasts though.

            Not yet rotten by algorithmic rot, I think as well. I see quite lovely comment sections and doesn’t feel infested with bots.

            Could be wrong though, if anyone has any insight please provide!

              Tbh the fundamentally fragmented, federated model the fediverse uses as a core design element does seem like it’d be far harder to centralize and comprehensively corrupt.

                Definitely agreed with that, which is why I like it so far but am just worried or hold back. Hope there is going to be more activity on the whole system.

                  I see it as a win-win. I only have to open the app for a bit while on the loo. I don’t give a damn about hemorrhoids, this is my shitposting time!

                  Pre-sleep bedtime screentime is now reserved for Balatro (likely equally terrible to social media feed) or light reading (probably miles above those, but pales in comparison to paperback).

                    Kinda true! I usually switch Active/6h (default) to be somewhat up to date

                    Unrelated, my bedtime screentime is just some simple type YouTube video noises that aren’t too interesting for me to view so I can fall asleep.

                Wish there was far more clarity for any platform to see that. The dead internet theory isn’t a wild concept anymore.
