  1. What could’ve fit in a screen of text should not be a video at all
  2. I save videos for later all the time, I just watch them never
  3. If some information is not visual-first, and not entertainment, if it may be important to people and should be spread, it also better not be a video. Maybe accompanied by a video to make use of audience reach, if you already have a channel with an audience, that is.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate that that happens⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe better use second most popular: Spanish, it at least uses same letters (differently though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

  The IP owner can print more, but if the owner is gone or legally unclear, then yes. Although I don’t think this was the real intention, because greed looks like a simpler reason and fits

  You’re right that there is a lot of good content, too. The problem is that a platform doesn’t care as long as you stay and watch, also you’ll need quite a lot of effort to find your own good content. So when I come to YouTube for something and end up watching more, I always know that I failed to YouTube trying to rip me off

  If only I could get addicted to something socially acceptable in under 35 minutes, like doing chores, or at least maths

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe you’re right and it could work. I’m afraid there’s always a share of sociopaths this will not affect, but this may be seen as impossible to fix anyway. What I am also afraid of is that the speed of changes is glacial in this model, and sometimes people are bullied into suicide in the course of mere weeks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, trusting someone to make right decisions is hard because this trust usually ends up being betrayed sooner or later.

  Regarding the first part, I meant that we as a community can’t put enough pressure on a bully to make em leave, if that bully is part of the community that supports em.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And what would happen when the community itself is built on hatred and welcomes hate wholeheartedly?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except for the countries that have anti-hate laws that are deliberately vague and specifically used to jail anyone who is disliked by the government. China and Russia come to mind as examples, but I’m sure they aren’t the only ones.

  Besides hate-speech, I’m not sure how much should be censored really. China does a lot of censoring to ‘protect’ their citizens from everything, I’m not sure this would be a good thing even if that really was a goal.

  And protecting children from traumatising content looks like another good thing to do, but under that banner I usually see governments doing whatever they want without caring about children past using their image.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With that I agree

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the joke about? Does Ireland block everything that comes from the Netherlands?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  However you define it, a central nervous system or other type of similar central unit would have to be a requirement, because that is what would actually be sentient

  Without CNS there would be something else sophisticated enough to show sentience that would have been sentient. So to me it looks like this is not really a requirement, albeit it’s simpler to say that it is.

  As a side note, I think that given how human-centric humans are (which is to be expected, really) even if we were living with another sentient species on the same planet we would argue they are not sentient for whatever reason we could come up with, and change sentience definition accordingly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lectured on semantics rather than responding to the meaning

  this is ironic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  not even all vegans who don’t use honey agree on whether or not a vegan can use honey

  Exactly this, veganism is ethical choice, and ethics is not science. You can’t ‘prove’ that something is acceptable, nor vice versa. There are guidelines and discussions but that’s pretty much it.

  So this is really not about whether bees are animals or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But you can ignore the response if you decide to not deal with it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you make sure you understood the idea if the word choice is incorrect? You may assume from context what the idea was, but you may as well assume wrong. And the more such assumptions exist in one dialogue, the further it is from information exchange, and the closer it is to not listening at all because you already knew the context before the dialogue

  But it’s a phrase you typed, the very one that contains the question, unless you ask by voice or in a picture

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I investigated millions of tweets from the Kremlin’s ‘troll factory’ and discovered classic propaganda techniques reimagined for the social media age.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, only the farm that convinces people to listen to other farm(s). And those already exist, anyway :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Work from home⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially when the “hybrid” model involves more days in office than at home.

  Wdym “especially”, of course it does /s but not really

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Work from home⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s okay with me, but is there at least one meeting that requires me? Only having managers in the office could allow one to have an office ten times smaller, and no other people are needed there anyway (or live in a thousand miles radius from the office, since all the managers live in the costly city in the costly state, and the most of others are not even in the States)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Work from home⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes me think that with the hybrid they expect to have the best of both worlds, while in fact it will likely be the opposite.

  Besides, with a mandatory fixed amount of days per quarter it gets soooo bullshit, it’s not hybrid it’s just barely glorified office work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Work from home⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure they don’t even understand that it was a discrimination, judging by the fact that they went on and left a lot of evidence of their stupidity

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is the best social media⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think, they are only paid indirectly in that the money are spent on propaganda to make them act like this

  Ey used the wrong word, but this in fact is correct. Once lemmy gets popular, bot farms will definitely will siege it, and the amount of “bots and shills” will rise

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is the best social media⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, actually, “well actually” comments under shitposts usually add ironic value and aren’t too serious, at least most of what I’ve seen
