“I love how we have the exact same problems, we have different words for them, but fundamentally, you get down to it, it’s just the same over here”
White streamer bro realizes that people are largely the same, even when they aren’t white! More news at 7…
God I hate streamers.
Would you say you are, or are not familiar with the concept of public property?
Ew. I hate people who believe that wikipedia is the fountain of truth.

I’m talking about the World Happiness Report
Can you explain what makes this “Ipsos” report different than the “World Happiness Report” ? I wanna steal this graphic for later uses if I can understand how to defend it.
Do you think that the Ipsos report is a better measure of happiness?
I’m a bit surprised how Mexico and Brazil show high levels of happiness. But I do understand that (from what I know) it seems like family connections have higher importance in these countries so there is a bigger social safety net.
The first language I tried to learn as a kid was Batch scripting…
(edit: and then some VBScript along the way! Eventually worked my way to C++ though)

Great findings - as someone with ADHD I feel like I’ve noticed this correlation on a personal level and glad to see there is research to back it up.

So you’re saying it would rely on each person to stay objective and use good critical thinking, instead of accepting the first thing they read and fall down an echo-chamber rabbit hole?
This is such a rich statement to make from a social media site of all places. My guy have you even looked at what some of the instances on Lemmy believe in? How is a federated wiki site any different?
but it does try to use a form of institutionalized objectivity.
By all means use wikipedia if you wish. As I’ve already pointed out in another comment, Wikipedia is often edited by bad or nationalist actors that do go undetected for a while.
We’re talking about the fediverse here. It’s such a niche place and there are already wildly opposing views and information existing on Lemmy itself.
And that’s not even mentioning the situation on bigger social media platforms and the broader web!
Wikipedia also releases all content for free download under a permissive license, so I don’t think it’s fair to say that the US government is a meaningful threat to its quality of information
What? How are these two points related at all?
Each instance would ideally have their own standards for neutrality or bias that they see fit. It’s no different from self-hosted wikis except with the federation concept appllied on top of it. I’m sure someone will create an instance that is a straight up clone of wikipedia, another person will create an instance for everything pro-communism / pro-china, someone will create a strictly anti-theism wikipedia, etc.
I don’t see anything wrong or weird about this, the skepticism this project is receiving is stupid. It’s nothing new under the sun.
Yikes what a shithole
