  • I was really on-board of the idea of Lemmy in the beginning. It all made a lot of sense, and I felt like a part of the community.

    But now it feels like its just an echo chamber of people, who seems to have very extreme beliefs.

    It’s starting to be clear that the whole “ML - Leninism Marxism” was actually a big part of Lemmy.

    I’m a centrist, slightly leaning towards the left, but I don’t feel like I truly belong in the demographic of Lemmy any longer. Reddit is starting to pull me back, and Boost still works, which only makes it harder to resist…






  • Look, I’m all for reminiscing about “the good ole days” of YouTube, but let’s be honest - the 5-star-system was pretty useless, and was used in the same was as up/down thumbs.

    You would either rate the video 5 stars or 1 star. Always.

    The switch to thumbs up/down made it much more easy to judge a video. And with the green/red bar beneath, you badicslly had a more condensed star-rating.

    YouTube (or rather Google) have made a lot of bad decisions regarding the platform over the years, but I sincerely think that switching to thumbs was a good change.
