What are some new or reddit features that you think will improve Lemmy, and what are the things that you don’t want to lay your eyes upon ever?

    That’s an interesting point. Maybe we should try to deliberately make it hard for people to get addicted to Lemmy? I think the lack of karma deals with that but maybe there’s more we can do. And since there are no ads, there shouldn’t be a problem with creepy algorithms trying to get people addicted.

      Indeed. https://lemmy.ml/post/60819 - “Again, Twitter’s interface was very intentionally designed to maximize the amount of time per day a person spends online. The Fediverse really doesn’t need that, but it has it anyway…”

        Turning individuals into ad-watching and addicted consumers. How this is legal is beyond me. Thanks for the link!
