The scientific paper linked from the article, stating there's no evidence for porn addiction, in case anyone would like to read more and missed it.

Classic Conservative tactic.

"Evil, stupid, greedy-" stuffs pockets "-jobless, welfare scroungers!" stuffs pockets "Pensioners, vote for me to bring down our welfare spending!"

I never see Liftoff recommended in these kinds of threads. It's my favourite app so far out of Thunder, Connect, and Jerboa.

But that's the great thing about Lemmy - you can just go to another instance and continue using Lemmy if you disagree with some admins decisions.

What's your complaint?

I mean, Lemmy has the exact same potential for issues with admins and mods - the key difference being that if those issues happen you can just up and off to another instance without having to abandon Lemmy altogether.

3 dollars a month for a lesser experience, mind. What with reddit stopping access to NSFW/explicit stuff via non-official apps.

But honestly, even if my app of choice - Sync - could do it, I'm not about to pay a corporation for content generated for free by us. The whole thing stinks of the slow slide of social media into the gutter. Happened with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit is no different.

Federated social media might take a little while to take off, but it will be so much less toxic and much more enjoyable without the ever expanding need of a corporation to deliver more and more profit at the expense of the user.

That's why rather than trying to change people's mind on the internet, I've resorted to just ridiculing them instead.

I dunno, it delegitimised the usefulness of Twitter somewhat. Now you can't be certain that the NASA account that announces an apocalyptic asteroid is real or not.

I don't think you're right here. Having more good 3rd party apps makes lemmy more accessible, not less.

Stuff that's popular with any demographic - but especially mid teens and younger - gets hated on disproportionately when adults that are disinterested see it 'invading' their spaces.

At least that's my take.

the UK do this as well

They do?

Well shit, they do! Shame they don't actually tell you about it actively - as you said, they probably don't want most people to realise.

This is happening because our wages haven't kept up with rising costs. Otherwise paying £20 for a fish and chips wouldn't be an issue.

If reddit is anything to go by, which I expect it is, people don't click through to the article. But they see the headline and the news platform and take that as evidence enough.

I wonder whether news not being on social media is almost better? It prevents that behaviour, meaning less impact from inflammatory and sensationalised headlines, and forces consumers that actually want news to go and find it directly - in the process being more likely to actually read an article and be more informed.

No, the title is correct as far as I can tell from quickly skimming the actual Nature article.

Unrelated rant - I hate the fact independent.co.uk hyperlinks the word 'study' which just searches it's own site for the fucking word 'study' rather than linking to the actual source data. Fucking shitstain practices.

I found the original article by plugging the independent article into ground.news. Fucking love that website.

Edit: what's more is that it's eating more than 100g of meat per day is 4 times more GHG than eating vegan. Eating <50g per day is about 2 times more than veganism.

Anecdotal experience is great.

I've never once come across a website that doesn't work in Firefox and find Chrome and Edge significantly slower.

Try Liftoff until Sync is ready - it's much smoother than Jerboa.

Just be mindful of the default 'All' view is literally all of the lemmyverse - via that view you can't interact with instances that you aren't logged on in.

Instead change it to be '[email protected]' to use it as normal.

Lemmy.world has not defederated lemmy.ml

You should edit your post; you're spreading disinformation.

I-is Portal the gateway drug to speedrunning?

Are you a speedrunning dealer trying to get me hooked on the light stuff?

Ground.news is actually pretty cool. It aggregates all articles it finds on a certain topic/headline, attempts to summarise them, highlights the publications political and general biases.

It's a good way to consume news, in my opinion. Besides - it's one extra click to get to any of the associated articles.
