We're RIGHT HERE

The TikTok algorithm shows you what you want to see. My TikTok algorithm was history, math, and language learning content.

Also our developers are too poor to ge oligarchs.

Maybe y'all should stop screeching bootlicker schill Nazi with every moderate take and replace the mods with reasonable people trying to mod instead of censoring opposition vote points.

It's never really been about data collection. It's about what service feeds users. The algorithm can be tweaked to provide slant towards particular ideals. It can sway elections. Some would rightly say that's already done hard by western social apps. Yeah, and that's wrong too. So they blame other countries for a smoke screen.

it seems daunting to join Lemmy, and without the catalyst forcing you to you never would have joined, right? and that's probably going to be the default exp for most normies?

lol I absolutely agree that TikTok style content is a major contributing factor in mental unwellness (and there's scientific data supporting that) but you have to understand that is what the majority of people are looking for. and it's not going away, at least not any time soon, and probably not from any top-down actions of coordinated governance. we gotta accept the reality that like AI it's part of our world now.

with that said, hey, the parent comment makes a pretty good case for why normies dont federate

[email protected]

can you browse loops from your lemmy account though? is it really federated if there's no cross-over? I don't get it

also ive been using this since reddit api died and apparently I still don't get it sooo good luck to any of the normies that we want to recruit lol

Sounds like you have chicken and egg reversed

"well hey you can trust a rich guy who becomes a politician, but not a politician who becomes rich!" said some poor old white lady who probably shouldn't trust either

Its OK, I dont mind lower numbers on fedi. Feels more like The Good Old Days of forums. More people, more shit.

It shows you what keeps your eyes on a video for longer, on a frame by frame basis. "Want" is a slightly separate concept.

"I don't want AOLers on the web. The open internet should just be for us enlightened few"

JFC, * don't want you pricks on the fedi. Can't you go back to BBSes or something and wank each other there?

[email protected]

while I laud your sentiment, it's those who needlessly pick on BBSers who need to be ejaculated from the internet.

There’s no federation at all yet but they’re planning on adding it at some point. I’m not sure to what extent it will work with Lemmy though. They go into more detail on the FAQ page: https://loops.video/help-center/federation

And yeah federation is kind of a double edged sword, I like the benefits it brings but it can make signing up a bit confusing, I doubt that’s the main thing stopping people from joining though

[email protected]

I had a point in here somewhere but I’m so tired i lost it so feel free use your imagination

Fuck I feel this, I have to delete comments halfway through writing them sometimes because I meandered too far from the original point and forgot was I was trying to say

[email protected]

At least we don't have to worry too much about bots or "karma addicted".

Now, If you have said something like "...an hypocrite, corrupted, convicted criminal" i would have agreed with that statement.

...Just saying.

People were sarcastically making the comment about sharing their data with the Chinese government. AFAIK there has been zero evidence that this had been happening in the first place.
