Correct, if you only use Lemmy, you would not need to worry. But most people still use google products.

That's very unfortunate. For most of us, misleading clickbait is a mild inconvenience. For you, its real disappointment.
You should really implement a strict policy of not clicking clickbait titles. While this would remove your ability to read 75% of news, it would probably help a lot in the sanity dept.
I generally don't click it myself, and it does help. The algorithm will slowly pick up that you are uninterested in them.
I would argue that for potentially public subs, it's the lead mods responsibility to provide that initial value to help grow the community.
If the lead mod has not done that, then the space should not be judged for not growing. It is not spaces that grow themselves, it is their users that grow them by contributing content. Starting with the founder, ideally.
The only exception I can see are subs where public participation is not the desired result.
It'd still irritate them due to the connotations, regardless of how legally actionable their irritation would be.
We'd just get a new one made out of water vapor. I'm sure everything would be fine.
You know, everyone should start calling the service twiX, just to irritate the candy bar company, which is actually a multi-billion dollar conglomerate that does care how its brands are perceived.
I mean, it's not a fever. It's just sitting under a big pile of invisible blankets. Get rid of the blankets and things would be fine.
Call up your local news station and newspaper, offer them the story. If they turn you down, call up another one.
Yet despite the clear creation of echo chambers, which I think is inevitable given how freedom of association works so smoothly and easily online, the Fediverse forces them all to "live next to each other".
It's not an entirely separate service I need to go on if I want to see what all the Nazi kids are up to these days.
This forced adjacency and inability to create any blocks stronger than defederation (which is pretty weak, really, compared to what other services can do) is going to have overall beneficial effects in the long-run, I think. Though it'll certainly cause its fair share of headaches too.
This is underrated. I actually close Lemmy a lot easier and more quickly than I did reddit, it's not hooking me with dopamine hits nearly as strongly.
As a result, since I know I'll probably just scroll for a few minutes at a time, I'm more willing to check in more often and toss a few upvotes and maybe a comment or two around.
Why does the purpose the data was collected for matter? Either the data is suitable or not. The motive of the pollsters who gathered it is irrelevant, isn't it?
