podcasts

This episode had a very interesting conversation about how we talk about "social media" (yes, i'm still putting it in quotes and stubbornly insisting on my own personal terminology). It's multi-user blogs. It's all blogs.

But what really stood out to me was a bit about how Facebook usurped MySpace as The Platform Everyone Is Using. Facebook introduced a bot. You feed the bot your MySpace credentials, and it logs in, scrapes all your friends posts and messages, and presents them to you within Facebook. That's how they encoraged people to move, using programming to eliminate the downside of migrating services. For Facebook users, they never lost the functionality that had been keeping them on MySpace, so migration was an easier choice to make.

Remember when everyone was really mad at :reddit-logo: for changing the mobile app? And it led to a minor bump in lemmy use, but largly people still stuck with :reddit-logo: cus it was were all the communities and posters were still established? Imagine if lemmy had something like Facebook's MySpace scrapper -- like, a bot you could put on your instance that scrapes the posts off of the reddit community you're trying to migrate.

I'm not saying this would be useful or even wanted for hexbear. But it might have resulted in more of the smaller subreddits successfully porting over to a lemmy instance. Something to think about. Reddit is going to do something that pisses off users (and, more critically, moderators) again. It's inevitable. Maybe lemmy should have the tools ready and waiting...

I wanted to listen to the Otherworld podcast, but the first thing I hear is an ad localized for my IP-region. My instant reaction to those is to immediately hit pause and stop listening. I looked at their patreon and it has less posts than there are episodes, so I assume you can't even get ad free episodes from there.

Is there some way to filter ads out of podcasts, or a site that has feeds for podcasts with the ads cut out?

Liam repeating NATO talking points. Guests saying drivel like “AMLO is liberal trump”

When will @wtypstan answer for the crimes of the podcast.

I'd rather listen to Joe Rogan.

The “democratic” Republic of Korea was ruled by dictators for almost 30 years, until a coordinated movement of students, industrial workers, and newly unionized auto workers brought down the last autocrat in 1987.

This one's out for a few days now but it's a fun listen. 'Good faith debater' Sam Harris and grifter Eric Weinstein are always good dunk material.

There was an episode of one of Brett O’Shea’s podcasts that came out sometime during the 2020 election period that had a segment on how both Biden and trump were accelerationist candidates. I feel like it’s turned out to be super prescient and want to give it a re-listen but I’ve had trouble finding the specific episode. Anyone here recognize the segment I’m describing?

what if i wanna hear crime stories without it being morally reprehensible

True Anon unlocked their interview with Norman Finkelstein in full. I know the preview was linked earlier, but I’m sure there are lots of people who will be interested in listening to the full thing

Because I've listened to the first two and I didn't think they were all that funny. The second one had a few moments but the first was just dry.. does it get better?

Feel free to complain about liberalism but it's three hours long so I'm not gonna be participating lol

Great episode discussing RETVRN to Marx in the context of Israel War on Palestine

Anyone got leads on podcasts that serve as direct critiques of right wing media, along the lines of Knowledge Fight, The Audit, or (at times) The Worst of All Possible Worlds? Can be anything from serious analysis to Mystery Science Theater shenanigans. Hosts getting as apoplectically angry as I am not required, but desired.
