Aggression is bred. I don't see this as funny.

Literally just rehashing old UI that's been around for over a decade.

Windows Vista, Rainmeter and custom Windows themes from Deviantart have had these motifs for over a decade.

Google is no longer a search engine.

It's a storefront.

I've been trying New for about a week. In hopes to upvote things from communities I like to improve engagement.

Find a RSS aggregator that you like and add the RSS feeds of websites you enjoy going to. I'm assuming most have the ability to search websites based off topics to help you get started.

The feed will show you every update those websites makes automatically.

There's no comments or frivolous things. Just headlines, images and text of the webpage.

It's a nice reprieve from social media.

Everyone always asks what is gravity.

No one ever asks how is gravity.

Poor gravity, always helping us keep our shit together but no one ever truly understands the weight on gravities shoulder.

I remember when Vice was "bleeding-edge-unwavering-unapologetic-raw-insert-other-catchy-adjective news! The stories no one else has the genitals to cover!"

I never personally thought that but I'm pretty sure that's what they wanted other people to think.

My first thought is they are running low on food.

My guess is probably due to over fishing and die off due to climate change. They probably don't understand the climate part but they can see ships take all their food.

Hence they are starting to attack the things that take their food. This is 100% my opinion.

You're not going to like what I'm about to say.

You're part of the problem. You can fix it though.

Ready?

You need to make original content for the communities you are apart of and stop expecting others to provide you the conent you want. Because if that's what everyone did, then there would be absolutely nothing here.

That's just the way it is right now. There's not enough original content creators on Lemmy yet.

What does original content mean? It doesn't mean reposts from other websites. It doesn't mean articles from other websites. The original content was already posted by the writers of the articles, on the original website. It doesn't mean comments you make. My comment here isn't original content. It's a reaction.

Original content is something you make. You baked some sourdough bread? Post. You made a chair from wood? Post. You made something out of leather? Post. You took a nice photo? Post. You made some digital art? Post. You drew a sketch of a building? Post. You did "insert hobby"? Post. You're a collector of this niche thing? Post.

The truth is, original content can be hard and time-consuming. It takes a certain mind to want to post original content. If everyone here would make just one original content post, I think that would help make Lemmy a better social media site.

Be the change.

Whyland doesn't sound as good though.

A community garden(Reddit) with bad, broken or non existent tools.

Volunteer workers(Mods) bring their own tools(3rd party apps) to maintain the garden. Other volunteers(Reddit OC contributing users) plant seeds, water and harvest the garden. Other non-volunteers (Non-OC contributing users who only consume media) benefit, leech and take home food.

Garden owners(Reddit) decide to charge tool companies to allow their tools into the garden(3rd party app makers being charged for API access). Tool companies(3rd party app makers) can't pay exorbitant amounts. Volunteer maintenance workers(Mods) can no longer use outside tools(3rd party apps) to upkeep the garden.

The workers(Mods) become angry and disruptive by limiting access to the garden(Mods privatize and demonetize subreddits).

Non-Contributing leechers become upset. "We don't care about you workers! Give us food!"("No one cares about you Mods! We want to mindlessly consume! Give us media!")

Workers and real gardeners leave to find a better garden (Mods and OC contributors leave to find a better social media platform).

Old garden fills with weeds and dog shit(Reddit fills with reposts and bots).

The End.
