Yes I always want the option. I'm fine with an algorithm feed when I'm randomly checking in, but I really prefer chronological when an event is happening for instance and I want to see people's most recent takes.

For real. The whole list I'm like "good luck" ha. It's going to transcend reality by scraping data off Twitter and Reddit? Have fun with that. It sounds just like every other self assured egotistical 'guru' charlatan, completely talking out its digital ass.

It's been worth it for me.. gotten to try a lot of games I wouldn't have otherwise. And it's an especially good deal if you have kids!

I'd largely agree if it was as simple as people being allowed to make wrong choices.. But its much more than that. Nefarious actors have literally weaponized disinformation on social media in attempts to sow distrust, animosity, and general social unrest, and that absolutely needs to be addressed beyond just 'better education'. Governments have the challenge of balancing the peoples civil rights with maintaining a healthy and relatively orderly society.. I'm all for free speech but weaponized disinformation is a legitimate threat that shouldn't be downplayed. IMO.

I am no longer posting any of my work to reddit. Maybe if they started profit sharing with actual content creators I'd consider going back, but the hubris, greed, and animosity they've shown towards the users and mods that freely provide content/work that make the site worth anything has been infuriating.

I was a daily user for a frickin decade both posting and lurking.. Haven't been to reddit in almost 3 weeks now. Onward to the fediverse 👍

Poor Hugo gone to his final resting place.. 😢

I'll probably have to get the full pixel pals on my kids tablet to help support Christian.

Nothing fancy but I built and painted this one for my son for ~$100. Used one of those Namco arcade controllers, a cheap lcd from Craig's list, some wood and paint.. simple but it turned out pretty awesome 🤘

Story is real, photo is definitely fake.

Not specifically socialist but The Majority Report is a good progressive/leftist podcast for news and politics
