    another reason to pay with cash

    Agreed on stopping subscriptions. Don't use Spotify.

    not memes for me but anime. there's no way to block whole instances i don't wanna see. if i don't wanna see ani.social on my feed at all i have to block every community on the instance, which is just not possible.

    memes though is gonna be hard for you because a lot of people use meme formats to communicate in any topic. the science side of lemmy memes about science stuff. the programmers meme about computer stuff. but that's not all they do, there's more than just memes, there's actual discussion too. to completely get rid of memes and never see them on a lemmy feed again is gonna be an impossible task.

    How to save culture from the algorithms, with Filterworld author Kyle Chayka (www.theverge.com)

    Seven years later, Kyle’s argument is that AirSpace has turned into what he now calls Filterworld, a phrase he uses to describe how algorithmic recommendations have become one of the most dominating forces in culture, and as a result, have pushed society to converge on a kind of soulless sameness in its tastes.

    While I appreciate this article and those like it, too many of these types of articles don't focus enough on the solution. I expected an article titled "how to save" to offer more solutions to what can be done, but that's mostly left to a single paragraph about being more intentional and thoughtful and "sitting with your own feelings."

    If something isn't done to actually change the consumerist culture and insidious marketing models and data collection practices, we'll have another article like this in another few years, like we have had every few years. We were talking about filter bubbles when I was in high school over ten years ago. It's only gotten worse.

    sodalite ,

    Yeah that's very true about RSS readers and FOSS options and the masses not being able to find them very well despite wanting it. Agreed it's a good quotable conversation to have published. I am just frustrated that we so seldom see talk about what we can do about it, what comes next?

    social engineering

    sodalite OP ,

    It looks like Tumblr at least has a way to opt-out of sharing with third-party services that use AI, but since this has been there it's unclear if it'll change with this new announcement.

    sodalite OP ,

    What are some beginner-friendly, free Wordpress alternatives?

    sodalite OP ,

    If it doesn't apply to the .org side, that would be great. But even I'm not sure I'd want to stick with them as a company.

    sodalite OP ,

    Plume looks perfect, thanks so much.

    sodalite ,

    Damn, it's just like that show, The 100
