Hence "calling yourself a duck does not make you a duck"

Yes. Fools will tell you the Nazis were socialists, people of a normal intelligence will tell you that calling yourself a duck does not make you a duck.

My favourite is when hardcore bands cover pop songs because the songs are often structured the same, so good.

Honestly that seems like most of social media at the moment and I know I've mentioned the algorithm in every comment I made in this thread, but it really makes it suck.

Because that particular algorithm and its use is very capitalist, its purpose is to drive engagement for money with morality not even being considered, and the best way to do that is to make everyone angry. CGP Grey on YouTube has a good video on it I can link in an edit in a bit, but the gyst of it is that the algorithm shows us what makes us angry, we make other people angry, thus, a neverending cycle of people being addicted to getting pissed off.

Lemmy absolutely.

  • no algorithm
  • no ads
  • actual real people in the comments
  • the ability for third parties to make apps
  • the fact that it's not mainstream means most of the people on here are at least a little nerdy which I am here for.
  • feels a lot like what reddit used to be 15 years ago before the age of algorithms and bots everywhere.

Man that is so fucked, though I'm not at all surprised that I never heard about it considering how they try to cover that shit up. Thank you for sharing that.
