Lemmy has infinite scrolling too so if lemmy get big it will have the same legal issue
I don't think Lemmy (or any text based platform) really fits the bill
Lemmy has a ton of media tho, its not entirely text based.
But the algorithm isn't extremely personalized or optimized towards "engagement". In fact the only fediverse platform that comes close is Loops, and even that is light-years away from the psychological manipulation that goes into Tiktok algorithms.
100% agreed, my only quibble was calling Lemmy a text based site.
It can be text based and still contain images and video, no?
When its spread between all of them pretty evenly, is it still text based?
The usenet is text based as well 🌚
(You can still get 4k movie files iut of it)
Insightful. 🙄
😁✌🏻
