Thanks for the great work! Especially since I've been looking for a way to filter out keywords on desktop, without resorting to a mobile-first front-end.

I still haven't decided on whether top, hot or scaled is the best sort. I feel like all of them feels "wrong" somehow. Any ideas?

.. but still end up going. Anyone agree?

I don't get this. AI bros talk about how "in the near future" no one will "need" to be a writer, a filmmaker or a musician anymore, as you'll be able to generate your own media with your own parameters and preferences on the fly. This, to me, feels like such an insane opinion. How can someone not value the ingenuity and creativity behind a work of art? Do these people not see or feel the human behind it all? And are these really opinions that you've encountered outside of the internet?

I love having some chill LoFi in the background, but I detest all the AI slop that's now dominating YouTube. Literally thousands of AI generated channels and no way to filter them. Some of my favorite channels that still seem to post real music are SteezyAF, bootleg boy and Jazz Hop Café. Does anyone else have any nice recs of channels posting nice LoFi compilations?

Of course it's not an explicit expectation, but the news cycle is dominated by a mix of 24/7 news and daily summaries. It's rare that I see weekly, bi-weekly, monthly summaries. I'm thinking, is there really that much that can happen in a day and that warrants our attention? Most news are clickbait focused on the negative, making us feel depressed and feeds our negative emotions. I wouldn't be surprised if the news actively contributes to the mental health crisis.

At the same time I think it can be of importance to have some understanding on what's going on in one's local area, one's country and in the world. For me I think a weekly summary would be good balance, but those are weirdly hard to find. What are your thoughts?

Or am I the only one remembering this opinion? I felt like it was common for people to say that the internet couldn't be taken down, or censored or whatever. This has obviously been proven false with the Great Firewall of China, and of Russia's latest attempts of completely disconnecting from the global internet. Where did this idea come from?

I was just reading this post https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1gmv76n/is_reddit_going_to_remain_the_primary_space_for/ and many barely see the fediverse as an alternative and they seem to have a negative bias towards it. Super ironic when it comes to the self-hosting community. Yes, some instances are problematic, yes, some devs might have had problematic views. But it doesn't really matter when it's federated and FOSS. I think it's clear-cut that the selfhosting community on Lemmy is a perfect alternative to reddit. Why is there such a negative bias?
