Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

Haven been more or less inactive Facebook the last 15 years. As it made me depressed. Removed the app and my phone battery lasted 25% longer.
Since then I would spend 15 minutes scrolling maybe 3 times a year.
The changes are wild as the algorithm has too little data to work. Like two years ago every third post was a different picture of Ana de Armas and they all started with the text from "Havana to Hollywood". There would be 20 posts like that until I stopped scrolling
I have had every 3rd post be a cat fishing attempt too. Same caption "why is it so hard to find a nice guy" same model, different picture; repeated 20 times.
I started using marketplace this last year. I have been forced from Craigslist to Kijiji and now to marketplace. Have resented each move.
Reddit I will only lurk logged out. If will search Google with Reddit for product reviews or questions that I can't answer here. My mental health has improved greatly.
YouTube I still watch late shows highlights most weeks or will look up product reviews, comparisons, or DIY.
I don't watch any streaming.
I don't watch algorithm suggested videos. I don't watch vertical videos or other slop.
