Dude. The Russian propaganda flows freely around here.

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 1 points 12 minutes ago

Dont worry, if you put propoganda of opposite polarity together they cancel eachother out. /s

You don't have to interact with .ml instances, you know?

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

If you think it's contained within one instance then you are the exact type of mark they are after.

does Fediverse have a short form video content platform? cuz that's what people really care about these days

(also side note, we all really should avoid or limit short form video content consumption...)

[–] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 hours ago

I believe Pixelfed Loops is the only one currently, it's actually not half bad, apart from how barebones and stuttery the app is, which isn't a big deal since the issues are only occasional.

[–] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 hours ago

I haven't checked it out yet but "loops" is supposed to be that

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

I don't understand it at all. I find it infuriating. I need long videos to play in the background while I work. I can't get anything done with this short crap. Maybe that's the point..

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 8 points 2 hours ago

Short-form videos, like many things in modern society (e.g. many video games) are essentially just a Skinner Box. You scroll, watch the video, get a hit of pleasure, and then the video automatically replays. That cues you to scroll. Repeat. It's easy to get stuck in that loop, especially if you already are struggling with executive dysfunction and can't find motivation/pleasure in ordinary activities.

I mean, that's just two different purposes of two different formats.

Short form content is not made to be played in the background while you work, nor is it made for intricate and detailed analysis or essays. It's made to have something occupy your mind during short breaks like toilet or smoke break or while waiting for the bus or something.

Long and short form content don't compete but compliment with each other. If you don't like one or the other, that's totally fine, then you're just not part of the target audience.

From my time on Lemmy. There seems to be a lot of American propaganda on here from people.

[–] Ofiuco@lemmy.cafe 2 points 51 minutes ago* (last edited 49 minutes ago)

Sometimes I don't know if it's propaganda or some inferiority complex because I've seen some propaganda from my country (MX) and if I try to go against it I get downvoted constantly (a lot less since I joined an instance that blocked ml, grad and hex) by people adamant into telling me how they lived here for a while, they have family here or how I am ignorant about that country, like... Bitch, everyone in my family has lived here for 3 generations at least, don't come here to tell me how things work when I have to deal with the consequences of a kakistocracy that keeps shitting on everything.
A lot of the fediverse users just have to be right when it comes to politics... And vaping, don't you dare have questions or doubts about vaping because they get mad.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I see a lot of Chinese propaganda as well

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

And Russian and North Korea for some reason

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 55 minutes ago

The amount of people here who will try to convince you that NK is some sort of paradise here is insane.

[–] Acinonyx@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 4 hours ago

yeah but there's tankies too, so it cancels out

We already have American censorship on the top ones, which will get worse once Project 2025 is enacted...

[–] Luffy879@lemmy.ml 12 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (6 children)

Not that lemmy isnt free, but just about every instance aside from .world is very left wing, and even here on world just about everyone hates right leaning people.

That being said, you should look up the election posters of the German „die partei”. Their posters, especially the ones regarding Nazis, really vibes with me

[–] Rookwood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

That's so sad. Anyway

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 hours ago

raises hand from a popular and politically agnostic instance

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 4 points 6 hours ago

Depends heavily even then, but Lemmy is pretty okay as a community and I think it's been the most successful fediverse experience so far
