What about this audition from the voice. Does it not give you shivers?: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC64ZPJXMGU

I disagree with this. Sure, some things are personal, but some things are very likely to give you shivers. For example, this version of creep from The voice: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC64ZPJXMGU
All 4 judges got shivers. Everyone to whom I showed this video got shivers. There is no “memory or emotion linked with the trigger”. It is just harmonies that for some reason, are shiver inducing.

- Comment on Is lemmy.ml turn into authoritarian? 1 year ago:
I have replied to someone else further down with my opinion on this topic. I think it also fits in a reply to you, so I will just copy paste it here:
Yes, it might sound worrisome, but I dont think you are pushing authoritarian ideology by using Lemmy. The code itself is fine. The code is not authoritarian. The server which hosts your account is also not authoritarian.
Lemmy is, right now, the best alternative for a reddit-like platform. It is something created for the users, by the users. By using lemmy, you are not enriching the wallets of the shareholders. By using something like reddit, you provide content and a select few get to buy a new yacht.
Also, plenty of people are contributing code to lemmy. It is no longer just these 2. The code is also Open-Source. Anyone can fork it and create a new version of lemmy, with compatibility with the current version of lemmy. By using lemmy, you are allowing the possibility that, at any time in the future, someone else comes and says “I have some ideas to improve lemmy, let’s do this on my own terms”, forks it and continues the work without massively spliting the community.

I think this is bad for Lemmy as a whole, as a community. People are doing to equate the “censorship” on lemmy.ml as censorship on Lemmy as a platform. That is just NOT THE CASE. Please, whenever someone mentions lemmy.ml and its censorship or the likes, be fast to mention that that is a specific lemmy server and the beauty of lemmy is its decentralization. There are plenty of other servers.
I fear that this kind of thing drives people away from Lemmy, when it should not.

I think education is still the missing link. We need to educate people into fallacies, biases and some statistics.
