Uninstall apps then use YouTube via mobile browser.
The experience is just not as seamless, which makes it easier to disconnect.
I did something similar with Reddit, I also have Adblock setup on mobile with a custom rule to block Reddit.com. So if I do want to go on reddit, I specifically need to open the Adblock app and go through menus to enable it again.
And a more abstract answer, find something else to spend your time on.
It’s kinda correct in that it’s full of right wingers and also lefties, although the scales have been quickly shifting.
Genuine question though, what social media platform is better at being central?
If you say Lemmy I’m gonna laugh myself into a coma 😆
Trump isn't over the line yet, but Starmer seems confident enough that Trump has won.
We all know it’s over at this point though.
God help the world. This is all just a big game to some people.
Why is it close 😭
wyd over there??
Truly his greatest crime.
Based.
It kinda bothers me that they didn’t at least go all in with switching up the story.
At this point the whole “assassin’s creed” part kinda holds the narrative and story back, I think they should just drop it entirely and have each game be its own thing.
I loved the assassin thing when I was 12, but it’s kinda cringe now.
Assassins creed has been consistently disappointing me since Black Flag.
AC2 used to be my favourite game and the modern titles are unrecognisable. They’re all just a bunch of generic, drawn out, mass appeal, play it safe bollocks.
lol, this is kinda spot on for me.
My depression and anxiety peaks when my mum has “an episode”.
edgy.
How does the initial advice work for guys?
I don’t have accessories, am I supposed to take one shoe off or something??
You’re right, she’s probably not interested anymore
I’m like 80% sure at this point, she keeps trying to hold my arm or hand, she said she wanted me to touch her ass the other day, and she also invited me to watch a show in her bedroom at one point.
idk for sure tho :/
Well it fits my posture perfectly 🤷♂️
How’s he wrong?
Did you actually listen to what he said or are you just reading the headline and making it fit another narrative to respond to?
Because he also said he thinks it’s going to change the world, he just hates the marketing BS that’s overhyping it.
Probably because, as anyone who’s actually used AI knows, it has some core weaknesses. But the marketers are happy to gloss over that lie and just say that it will be able to do nearly anything.
He said it’s interesting, but to give it five years to see how it’s actually useful, which is probably the most sane take you can have about AI imo.
Stephen King has written a lot of books, and a lot of shops promote those books far more than others.
This is just a nice way to give other authors a bit of promotion, I think even Stephen King himself wouldn’t be opposed to this.

Can’t see this doing well, who’s gonna want to host it and pay the bandwidth and storage costs?
I know people would be willing to do that for a YT alternative, but I don’t think there’s many people who want to shell out so some kid can post their cringe dance video.
Also, who tf gonna use it? I’d imagine Tik Tok users are the social media group that cares the least about the fediverse, open source, and privacy…

How is Lemmy supposed to replace Reddit?
I just don't get how Lemmy is going to act as a proper replacement for Reddit.
I understand the basic concept of Lemmy and the Fediverse, and people are touting the concept of it being federated and not centrally controlled, but it is an absolute mess and nobody seems to have an idea about what to do with it.
How are communities going to grow if there isn't at least some form of central management. Other than there being an underlying framework that connects the servers, they're all just doing what they want.
Outside of the underlying framework, there's no 'guidelines' or consistency. The servers have random names, and the main Lemmy.ml is telling people to register elsewhere.
How is this going to bring in a wider audience if people are being directed to lemmy.fmhy.ml, sopuli.xyz, or sh.itjust.works?
What is the purpose of the Fediverse when forums for niche interests already exist on the internet?
Does it make sense to have something like a 'sports' server that has communities f
