Hot take but you’re right and you should say it. Being ‘anti-war’ is what has led to people to say that Ukraine should just give up and the US shouldn’t be aiding them in protecting themselves. Sometimes war is justified, though it should be minimized as much as possible

You’ve gone back too far! I meant mid to late aughts (2005-2010)

It’s because a lot of people here are people who miss the earlier days of the internet and are trying to recreate that feeling. I’m not that old but it’s got me feeling nostalgic so I enjoy it

You’re 100% right. The people who are already on these platforms are the ones that don’t like any algorithm at all, so they tend to be combative about its implementation. I don’t think there will be mainstream appeal until it is easy and fun to use for the average person

That’s not really how most recommendation algorithms work. A good basic algorithm would be showing you content that the people you follow are following or showing popular posts from a certain category that you tend to like

That’s not true. There are a few other free TLDs. I think five total?

It’s not jumping to conclusions; it’s actually pretty well-known. The devs and their instance are very open about being Marxist-Leninists.

I don’t see how machine learning is related to Lemmy in any way

Thats not a rebuttal. The .ml instance is run by Marxist-Leninists

Thanks, I know what it stands for but I am trying to explain why that particular top-level domain was picked for those lemmy instances

I think it’s because ML is a popular shorthand for ‘Marxist-Leninist’ since they mostly seem to be communist servers
