Honestly that's kind of what lemmy is, in a roundabout way. I think you are right, but actually getting people to engage with that would be difficult. Today, word of mouth with younger people mostly revolves around individual things inside centralized platforms like a TikTok meme or something. I think in addition to independent sources of content, there needs to be a cultural change in how everyone accesses content. That's the hard part.
Indeed! But let's be the change we want!
Do you have any good mastodon, pixelfed or peertube or other fediverse recommendations to follow ? I'm still new here so my feeds are pretty monocultural (to borrow an agricultural term).
On lemmy, I just browse "all" then filter out anything I don't want instead of the opposite. I don't use Mastodon much, or any twitter-style platform. As for videos I still use YouTube, just through the FreeTube application on desktop.
Edit: one thing I do follow is the gaming news posts by this person, who puts a whole lot of effort into them: @PerfectDark@lemmy.world
Oh, that's me!
Thanks, Alk. I'm glad my little posts mean something to the general public here, I appreciate it!
They really do! It's nice to read something that's clearly hand crafted and high quality, especially the big news roundups that you do, as opposed to the usual SEO slop most news sites have. It's a treat every time a new one comes out.
