...by down voting any posts with a paywall etc. Let's keep Lemmy content decent.

Is Lemmy going to be one of the only places we can go to get uncensored content? Even the mainstream UK and US news outlets are filtering things.

The usability on that website is a disaster. Makes me leave the page immediately.

Filter to show just posts with photo or video or text (lemmy.world)
 

I remember there used to be an option like this on the Reddit app..

On a post that contains a particular content type you could filter to show just that content type of posts.

On posts with a photo hit a filter option to show only posts that have a photo.

On posts with a video, hit the filter option and you can see just posts with a video.

I think there were options for the format where posts just contained text also.

The filter was available directly from the options on the post.

Is this a feature in Boost already?

In the end people will realise they can not trust any media served to them. But it's just going to take time for people to realise... And while they are still blindly consuming it, they will be taken advantage of.

If it goes this road... Social media could be completely undermined. It could become the downfall of these platforms and do everyone a favour by giving them their lives back after endless doom scrolling for years.

Councils are going bankrupt because they can't even run their own business. Letting them be landlords also is a recipe for disaster.

Thank you for the news summaries... (lemmy.world)
 

Just wanted to drop a quick message in to say thank you to those who put in the news articles here... I was getting frustrated with the poor journalism across different mainstream news and really appreciate your efforts summarising everything here.

I felt like just a stat for websites like BBC news clicking up views to then guide them on what news stories to focus on publishing, and what to not publish... First world censorship at its finest. At least now I can just read the content here.

The autotldr bot also saves a lot of time from having to read extra non-value text that journalists pump in to make stories longer.

I do wonder what happens if feddituk is shutting down, hopefully this community and these news articles continue... I'd hate to have to actually go to the BBC news site again 😳

Thank you to you and all those growing Lemmy πŸ™ 2024... the year of everyone migrating to Lemmy.
