Humans are social creatures. Many animals get depressed too when they don’t have another of its kind to live around.

Which is not really a horrible realization, we know earth has a shelf life, the question is will we be able to solve space colonization to ensure the survival of our species?

I’m sorry but not going to trust an author who has a very real financial incentive to sell a hypothesis. There are indeed numerous studies that do summarize the negative impacts of social media and smartphones on mental health, and it’s also extremely true that the increase in mental health diagnosis can also, at least partially, be attributed to an increase in mental health awareness. My ADHD existed well before I got my hands on tech.

EDIT: to summarize, I don’t really take issue with your comment, but I believe that you can find an even better source of information to link to when discussing this topic. Wishing you well!

How much time do you spend gaming a day?

On the flipside, the American exceptionalism on the Lemmys is par for the course…

Yikes what a shithole

Would you say you are, or are not familiar with the concept of public property?

I have so many of these blocked lol.

I blocked so many meme communities which helped my ALL feed look better, but then it was filled with political shit. The problem is, any time something controversial happens regarding someone the broader community doesn’t like (elon musk, trump, republicans in general), you have thread after thread after thread of this shit popping up. I don’t care to hear why republican bad, because I already know republican bad. I’m an intellectually curious being with better things to do with my time than hear about the latest political thing.

And then finally as you said, the technology communites can be a bit tiresome, like when there’s a post about every single time a frickin’ library updates.

So you’re saying it would rely on each person to stay objective and use good critical thinking, instead of accepting the first thing they read and fall down an echo-chamber rabbit hole?

This is such a rich statement to make from a social media site of all places. My guy have you even looked at what some of the instances on Lemmy believe in? How is a federated wiki site any different?

but it does try to use a form of institutionalized objectivity.

By all means use wikipedia if you wish. As I’ve already pointed out in another comment, Wikipedia is often edited by bad or nationalist actors that do go undetected for a while.

We’re talking about the fediverse here. It’s such a niche place and there are already wildly opposing views and information existing on Lemmy itself.

And that’s not even mentioning the situation on bigger social media platforms and the broader web!

Superhero stuff is awesome if you’re younger than 17. At some point you’ve got to grow up though.

Wikipedia also releases all content for free download under a permissive license, so I don’t think it’s fair to say that the US government is a meaningful threat to its quality of information

What? How are these two points related at all?

Each instance would ideally have their own standards for neutrality or bias that they see fit. It’s no different from self-hosted wikis except with the federation concept appllied on top of it. I’m sure someone will create an instance that is a straight up clone of wikipedia, another person will create an instance for everything pro-communism / pro-china, someone will create a strictly anti-theism wikipedia, etc.

I don’t see anything wrong or weird about this, the skepticism this project is receiving is stupid. It’s nothing new under the sun.

Either my instance updated recently, or I didn’t notice it at the bottom of the block page. So useful thank you!!! No more lemmynsfw spam!
