That’s not true. YouTube is a goldmine of knowledge and entertainment and humanity. You just can’t trust the algorithm to get you there.

I suppose you’re right. However, I have no doubts that the administration will use this to hasten their authoritarian processes .

This will directly lead to things getting worse. The right will be mobilized by the martyr, is my fear.

Yea this made the closet conservatives come out from under the woodwork. Instagram was awash with people posting his family photos that are otherwise outwardly apolitical.

This is particularly funny to me because I was radicalized by YouTube.

It seems goofy to me — I wish we had collectively picked a term with more oomph.
I’m struggling to come up with an alternative though.

YouTube is a VERY SHARP double edged sword. There is a wealth of knowledge, but there’s also a wealth of disinformation.
It’s also a bit of a catch-22; YouTube can teach you to think critically and look for good sources, but the algorithm will not start that cycle for you.

You’re right, it is unfair of me to write these people off. Slacktivism is no substitute for real activism.
It’s just disheartening, weird, and scary seeing everyone repost the same instagram post like little worker bees.
- Comment on Are you not entertained? 4 weeks ago:
My grievances come from the fact that there’s no counterweight. Posting this type of thing is not inherently bad, but it’s all these people ever post.
I agree, people can enjoy things I don’t enjoy! But by exclusively posting vapid content, they are diluting the content pool and drowning out what is important.
Your inaction is your admission of acceptance.
- Comment on Are you not entertained? 4 weeks ago:
No! People need to get their heads out of their ass and focus on what is important.
It is right and just to hate on people who only speak up when the topic is useless drivel. They should be ashamed of their inaction and their complacency is disgusting.

So chemically salt is NaCl; are there any additives in a salt lamp that make it deviate from that structure?
Cuz if not it would be cool to actually use your salt lamp for something useful.

DAE think this game is vastly overrated? It’s not bad by any means, but in my experience it doesn’t really do anything exceptionally well compared to the competition.
- Comment on The internet kind of sucks right now 5 weeks ago:
What I really appreciate about Lemmy is that broadly there is an unspoken rule that constructive dialogue is the only option.
You can say something stupid or misinformed, and instead of ripping you to shreds or vilifying you, the fellow strangers that choose to respond will usually do so in a polite, constructive way. They will put effort into their argument to make sure it’s understood and sound.
Once that unwritten rule is no longer abided by, the ship has already left the port and there’s no recovering. I hope it stays that way for the foreseeable future.

On the 22nd of July, 2025, a breach to Meta’s data centers uncovered an erotic video that showed Mark Zuckerberg engaging in explicit acts with Sam Altman. At just over 2 minutes long, the video displays in vivid detail the disrobing, touching, and climax of each man at the hands of the other.
When questioned, Zuckerberg had this to say:
“I mean, it’s just a kind of, we both like AI, and that’s what brought us together initially. We both want to make human lives better. After some discussion, we figured to start small; we certainly made each others’ lives better that night”!
