I know people use YouTube differently, but for me it always was a platform for “video sharing”. I don’t really watch YouTubers, but use it for funny videos, stuff from our publicly funded broadcast channels, music videos. So I guess I am not really using it for channels that require ads. Also I do not watch ads at all at any time due to ad block, and never would.

unfortunately have to have an alternative source of income

How the fuck do I get started with cryptocurrency?

Who is going to tell them

Well, I am not really familiar with other fediverse services, so maybe Lemmy is a special case. But I can’t comment on peertube or follow someone on Mastodon. In theory it is connected, but in reality it’s not fully implemented yet.

Great video! “It’s all connected” might be a bit exaggerated though.

I know it’s super sad lemm.ee closes down… but somehow all these changes seem like an exciting thing? I mean the community discusses and decides where to go, how to rename etc. It feels like a real opportunity to participate

Honour killing is such a rare thing, I find what you are saying blatantly islamophobe tbh. Do you know how many Muslims there are in the world?

I found this repo with a Rust tool to auto remove comments. I have not tested it though: https://github.com/skullgiver/lemmy-comment-auto-delete

Totally depends where you are. If you apply at my work place you will need to send your graduation certificate with your application, which you would need to fake. And I would not recommend to do that, as it can get you intro a lot of trouble.

Usually the community mods should pin a post with the new link. In small communities it might be worth to contact the moderator directly to bring the shutdown to their attention.

Isn’t the whole reason why we use the fediverse in order to prevent information being filtered through Big Brother/Big Corps, etc.?

Yeah that’s why reasonable instances defederate from lemmygrad & co.

I think educating the average person that news sites like RT and Sputnik are owned by a foreign state is a better approach.

That’s not how it works. The average person is dumb as fuck and they need to be protected against disinfo. Also RT is not just “owned by a foreign state”, it is 100% state controlled propaganda, that is deliberately spread in the west to influence the public opinion.

Also, as an educated person myself I do not want to skip through 10 websites run by the Kremlin until I find a good result.

Why don’t we start delisting Fox News and other conservative media while we are at it?

I am all in for that! As far as I know Fox is not run by the white house though, but I am not from the US so I am not sure.

As long as there is not a good alternative for corporate search engine as in similar to the fediverse, we have to work with what we have.

I mean this post is up for more than a day, you could have read some of the other explanations, as yours is pretty poor

To be honest, I absolutely agree with them. I read the whole article and I do not see what is wrong with these statements? Russia is flooding the web with disinformation, we need to do something against that. Fuck the conservatives, Fuck Russia in particular, Slava Ukraini!

Weinberg’s tweet announcing the change generated thousands of comments, many of them from conservative-leaning users who were furious that the company they turned to in order to get away from perceived Big Tech censorship was now the one doing the censoring. It didn’t help that the content DuckDuckGo was demoting and calling disinformation was Russian state media, whose side some in the right-wing contingent of DuckDuckGo’s users were firmly on.

DuckDuckGo spokesperson Kamyl Bazbaz told Recode that the decision was simply about doing what a search engine is supposed to do: ensure that users were getting the best results for their searches. “Sites like RT and Sputnik that deliberately put out false information to intentionally mislead people directly cut against that purpose,” Bazbaz said

What happened in 2022?

Absolutely! Especially because the map is always broken on my phone, I want to move the area and end up somewhere hundreds of kilometers away. I guess it’s time for a new search engine…

It seems to depend on the country, if I set US or Germany I get the MSN results, if I set Spain I set none…

All of them are. See that colored butterfly next to the name of the news agency?

Look at the small logo left to the name of the news agency. All links refer to msn.com.

I am happy to say it’s not warm or wet enough here that I ever had to ask this question. I will now proceed scrolling and act like this question has never been asked.

Probably you will find offers in the darknet.
