I'm still on the fence. I've been having a lot of issues with lemmy after creating an account

It's very difficult to find content that I'm actually interested in, Any time I try to browse anything on the main feed outside of "Local" and "Active", the site freaks out and loads a bunch of posts that have no relevancy to what I selected. I selected "All" and "Active" and it loaded a bunch of furry porn from 2 days ago. The feed just kind of defaults to a glorified "new" feed and loads posts as soon as they're made regardless of my sorting options, and there is no variety when I'm looking through the main feed. It's the same 4 communities with like six posts each. The UI is pretty user unfriendly and there aren't really any ways to allow me to customize what I see, and it's difficult trying to navigate around, especially when new posts keep automatically popping up, throwing what I'm trying to click on down suddenly with no warning.

Take them apart. It's fun to play with the little disks inside

I mean they're not wrong

The Placebo Effect is a tangible thing.

Spotify really isn't a "Soft monopoly" though. There are a lot of competitors in the music streaming business. Youtube music, Apple music, and Pandora, just to name a few. Sure, Spotify is perhaps the most commonly used, but it's also unfair to punish a company because they're successful.

Contribute by actually building a community, not just requesting a bunch of subreddits to sit ontop of and do nothing with.

This dude is just requesting a ton of them to aggregate power for himself. Don't let them.

This is childish.
