Fediverse

In my opinion.

It's fine, but it's too common in online communities (including Lemmy) and it discourages people from posting their original thoughts or events that they find important and relevant, since something needs to come from a 'real news source' or an 'online article'.

I can make a website right now and call it "The Daily Pragmatist" or some shit and people won't bat an eye.

Reality also is that many reach conclusions based on titles alone anyhow. I can't see how it would be worse, since the body of the post is always going to be a tad more accessible than opening a new website. And we see how little people want to work to gather their knowledge, on the whole.

I get removing crappy content, but what about when thoughts are backed up with sources and opinions are relevant to overall discussion?

And separately, what's up with aversion to 'non-standard' forms of expression? I would argue that something like the show 'The Rehearsal' by Nathan Fielder, is an equally valid way to deliver real and important news to people. I wouldn't be alone in this sentiment.

Imo this shit is busted and dumb.
