This seems to be a general societal problem rather than a generational problem. And yes, it's because of echo chambers.
When I was younger, people who were batshit crazy would have their craziest instincts checked by people around them. Now, they go online and find other batshit crazy people.
The next month or so will be the true test. Monthly stats up till now look good, but that's because there was an active push factor (most of the reddit exodus happened in the last month). There will probably be a slow decline over the next month as people who signed up lose interest. The steepness of the decline will determine lemmy's future.
Well, Threads is at least aiming to do that and integrate with Mastodon, but the group mind has decided that this is bad.
I'm not part of that group mind, but I'm cynical that they will federate. From a business standpoint it doesn't benefit them, so I'm betting it's just a buzzword they're using.
Apple's philosophy has always been to make things as easy as possible for users, but only if the users agree to pay through the nose. That's fine, but they also actively stop anyone from trying to do anything outside the limited number of actions they consider acceptable. It's a good thing the EU is trying to stop that.
Are you saying you enjoy inter-racial in real life but not in porn?
But the fact that a lot of editors fight about such issues means that it ends up being somewhat neutral, no?

How do I do this?
this isn't news!
Memes only matter if you're 14, unfortunately. Based on the number of comments and users, I'd say lemmyworld is the default.
Using olive oil for sunbathing sounds like some sort of slow oven roast recipe.

This. Is. So. True.
"No, where do you live?!"
"On the Internet."
Wow. The government chose to resign because they couldn't agree on a deal?
Our parents and grandparents' generation fought so hard in the 50s, unionised and organised strikes, to end this despicable practice.
70 years on we've found ourselves under the same sort of economic slavery!
These companies are just pushing the problem to 5 years later, when all the elderly physically can't work anymore.
It's true. I see more and more elderly working around me, when they should be living off their pensions.
Some people are just twisted.
This is really just tragic.

Yeah, I was expecting him to file a complaint. Not that it would work.
Working in any service industry makes you lose that expectation very quickly.
