Subscribed.

There is, however, already an !antinatalism@lemmy.world community. Just to let you know, nothing wrong with creating another one. May the best one "win".

Moded APK with lucky patcher

Can you tell me more about this lucky patcher? Any links? I have never installed an APK, other than the f-droid one. I stick to apps from stores.

Thank you for the sources! I will surely read them.

This is a good question and one that whose answer is probably not going to be well received in this community but:

  • I want to follow some stand up comedians. I like to laugh. Sue me.

I tried finding their content elsewhere but was not very successful. Seems like TikTok is being used more and more for that.

This is what I was considering.

I want to follow some people on tiktok, for the content they put out. I am, however, a somewhat privacy-minded person. Any suggestion on how to make TikTok less privacy-invasive? Some DNS app?

I am on Android, not rooted.

What about this audition from the voice. Does it not give you shivers?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC64ZPJXMGU

[–] wit@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I disagree with this. Sure, some things are personal, but some things are very likely to give you shivers. For example, this version of creep from The voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC64ZPJXMGU

All 4 judges got shivers. Everyone to whom I showed this video got shivers. There is no "memory or emotion linked with the trigger". It is just harmonies that for some reason, are shiver inducing.

 

This is not exactly a new community, but it is one I created a few months ago and it is currently dead. Hopefully you guys help me with that:

!frisson@lemmy.world

This is a community for frisson inducing content.

What is frisson?

Frisson is a phenomenon that causes a sensation of chills or tingling on the skin of the lower back, shoulders, neck, and/or arms. It can be triggered by experiences with music, poetry, videos, beauty in nature or art, eloquent speeches, and the practice of science.

I have replied to someone else further down with my opinion on this topic. I think it also fits in a reply to you, so I will just copy paste it here:

Yes, it might sound worrisome, but I dont think you are pushing authoritarian ideology by using Lemmy. The code itself is fine. The code is not authoritarian. The server which hosts your account is also not authoritarian.

Lemmy is, right now, the best alternative for a reddit-like platform. It is something created for the users, by the users. By using lemmy, you are not enriching the wallets of the shareholders. By using something like reddit, you provide content and a select few get to buy a new yacht.

Also, plenty of people are contributing code to lemmy. It is no longer just these 2. The code is also Open-Source. Anyone can fork it and create a new version of lemmy, with compatibility with the current version of lemmy. By using lemmy, you are allowing the possibility that, at any time in the future, someone else comes and says “I have some ideas to improve lemmy, let’s do this on my own terms”, forks it and continues the work without massively spliting the community.

I think this is bad for Lemmy as a whole, as a community but only due to misunderstanding and generalizations... People are going to equate the "censorship" on the server lemmy.ml as censorship on Lemmy, the platform/software. That is just NOT THE CASE. Please, whenever someone mentions lemmy.ml and its censorship or the likes, be fast to mention that that is a specific lemmy server and the beauty of lemmy is its decentralization and the fact that it is open source. There are plenty of other servers.

I fear that this kind of thing drives people away from Lemmy, when it should not.
