foggy, to asklemmy in Is there a line from a movie that really resonated with you but when you say it most people don't get the reference?

No, just endless Simpsons references that fall on deaf ears.

foggy, to asklemmy in Is it normal for a person to "feel" less as they get older?

‘emotiinal blunting’

foggy, (edited ) to asklemmy in Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

It sees you like standup comedy (POTENTIALLY ANTI-WOKE) and gaming (POTENTIALLY INCEL) and in your 30s (LIKELY HAS SOME DISPOSABLE INCOME)

So it’s pipelining you to the annals of YouTube that check those boxes, have very good viewer retention and have good user engagement.

The ones with good user engagement are the ones that raise your blood pressure. They make you angry. So, politics, or dirty cops, interrogations, murder stories, stuff like that.

You can resist them all you want, but stuff that makes people angry and chatty and commenty and re-watchy is like cocaine to the algorithm. It makes them money, so they spam it everywhere it even remotely makes sense to try to get you stuck in their quicksand.

foggy, to asklemmy in What exercises can I do to strengthen my willpower?

Siiiigh. I don’t wanna. It’s true though.

Cold showers.

Especially after warm shower for the first half.

You should aim to barely be reacting. Focus on your breathing to distract your whole nervous system from the feeling of discomfort the cold water brings.

You’re training your body to not react to adverse events. To roadblocks, to shitty situations, to things that might otherwise derail you.

Cold showers are key.

Or, ya know… Batting cages.

foggy, to RedditMigration in Reddit is a dead site running

Everyone but angry assholes left.

foggy, to RedditMigration in Reddit is a dead site running

They have too many users to die any noticeable death.

Their bot defense left. Tons of communities affecting millions of subscribers have changed to adopt rules to make their platform borderline unusable (/videos only allows text posts describing videos).

Without defense against bots, the place will become a “dead” website in that the majority of the content will be bots posting for bots, and a handful of addicted dipshit interacting with them.

Much like Facebook, their soup du jour will be anger. Posts will seek to dri e engagement from what few users remain, and the main method they will achieve this through will be so ially and/or politically divisive topics.

Let it rot from the inside out. Let it be the new Facebook.

Lemmy is new home now 😊

You mean like what happened on Facebook?

foggy, to RedditMigration in Reddit seems to be scrambling behind the scenes to try and limit the effects of the migration. Damage control: ChatGPT bots are spamming pro-admin, astroturfed comments

I noticed this happened before the reddit blackouts. I haven’t been to reddit since. Is this a new occurrence of the same ChatGPT astroturfing or is this that same news?

foggy, to RedditMigration in Never Forget

All my homies hate /u/spez

foggy, to RedditMigration in I can't cancel Reddit Premium

Just call your credit card company and say that you do not authorize any further transactions with them, and any that are attempted are illegitimate.

That’s what creditors are literally for.
