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.

Lmao nah. Lemmy is just decentralized censorship. Anyone can ban or block anything else; anyone can start their own community instance and kill it on a whim. Multiple communities have already defederated in the less than a year that I've been on here.

Lemmy solves the issue of centralized censorship/echo chamber communities, by replacing them with individual personalized echo chambers that you get to censor yourself. It's a lot of work to set it up and sustain that type of situation, so it's not realistic for a rational person that does not have a severe internet addiction to waste their time and effort doing it.

what are the symptoms of internet addiction, and can it be treated with alcohol?

[–] L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works 11 points 9 months ago

Yes. It's basically required. Weed helps too, though many experts claim that you don't need to smoke it and simply touching grass will suffice but idk man. Better to play it safe and just take rips between sips.

We know that spending several billions of dollars on a social media site is NOT one of them.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Alcohol is a solution, according to science.
