I like this idea and it sounds easy to implement without changing underlying infrastructure.

It would be nice being able to publish communities I follow and check out other people feeds, not only similar communities’

I was working in fast food for a long time, it was more than enough for me, thank you.

But looks like good job to automate, let people do something better.

I am buying vegetables and healthy stuff with card. Alcohol and sweets only cache.

1. their jobs will evaporate if people don’t use them

I was thinking the same until couple of them screamed at me for not using self checkout. And most of them are not happy with their job. Or life, I am not sure.

Sometimes the cashiers themselves are slow and scan items like they’re regretting every life decision they ever made.

Such a good description of my local cashiers’

There are teachers that are trying to find what you know, and those that are trying to prove that you don’t know.

Second kind is not my favourite.

While technically true, article is missing the point and is not showing good sides.

But it might be good, if someone comes here expecting complicated technical experience, it might keep them around. At least they are acknowledging lemmy exist.

Yes, most people give up as soon as something does not work first time.

Maybe there are enough of us to be enough abd to fix those annoying little things that make lemmy complicated to use.

A lot if issues got resolved, apps are here,it is getting better fast.

questionable naming schemes

Yes, because no one wants to have problems with someone’s trademark, since that would foce them to change app name.

Easiest way to avoid this is using strange name.

Yes, that’s why it is so good.

I guess we are the ones remembering how it was 15+ years ago

I would add as most important: psychologically unhealthy behaviour their algorithms are promoting.

It starts normally, but algorithm is rewording unhealthy posts and soon whole network is full of it, it happens since they are just hunting “engagement”, click, time in the app and basically addiction.

I don’t understand why are people so fixated on facebook and twitter, if you want it just go there and have account there.

If we think that lemmygrad is bad, but facebook/instagram is not (even thou there are a lot of research papers showing that those are socian networks worst for psychological health) we are in big problem.

Let them do their thing and let’s have some space put of it.
