I guess his flavour of tainment just doesn't jam well with me. Like I said, it's not the subject matter, but the content just feels needlessly padded. Compare this to videos by Tom Scott, CGP Grey, Matt Parker, Steve Mould, etc. Those videos are far more dense with content It reminds me of how mythbusters gets so much better once you take out the narrator and the endless recaps..

Regarding clickbait - to me a title this one is just another symptom of that disregard for the viewers time. Being coy and mysterious about the subject matter to lure people in. And yeah, hat's probably why it works.

I agree that the production values are incredibly high. But I just can't stand being treated like a simpleton who needs drama to be tricked into watching videos, it feels very patronising.

I feel the same way. I feel like I would love his subject matters he picks, but he's being so disrespectful of the viewers time that I can't stand it. Just the clickbait title alone is enough to put me off.

I was gonna post a list of other things that happened on July 9 2025, but it was all kinda depressing.

The post ended with "stay tuned". Do you have any update for us, OP?

To me it reads like "I'm going to move abroad if x wins the elections."

Actions speak louder than words, but even then I don't really care what you do in your personal life. Wake me if you need help or have something useful to share.

I think it's more useful to take their points at their own merit, rather than factor in who said it. Who cares if they said they were leaving, or if they torture puppies in their spare time. There's no need to make it personal - feedback is feedback. IMHO a user shouldn't have to know about federation or how it works - if lemmy wants widespread adoption, tackling these issues will help.

Does it allow differentiating between dependencies and dev dependencies though? I couldn't gather that from the article.

Or option C: there's a discussion going on about an open source project, and you're starting a discussion about the semantics of the word fascist/asshole, without taking a clear stance on what you mean. I didn't downvote you, but I also have no idea what you were going for with that statement. It seems unrelated.

For the past half hour I tried to read into what's happened, and who the supposed fascists are, and these are the facts I managed to uncover. I hope it will serve anyone who reads this well:

1. Communities are gonna drama.
2. Moderating is hard and (paraphrasing Douglas Adams) anyone who wants to do it, shouldn't be allowed to.
3. I really don't care enough to waste more time on this.

For me it's just generic influencer dislike. Wouldn't go as far as hate though. It's just that I pre-emptively don't care about what they have to say. Clickbaity titles "this is why..." (without explaining why) certainly don't help.

In other words, clickbait?

So... How can you possibly justify that start button?

I'd say that federation is the core principle of the network, so centralisation by piling all the users and content onto one server is very undesirable.
