I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @[email protected] until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

  • What could help regarding clickbait titles is to add a short description in the body about the video content (“This video is about [topic]”). One short sentence shoud suffice.

    Good idea, but perhaps as request instead of as a rule.

    When creating a post containing a video there is an option to auto-suggest the title, as it is often the same from the video source. Most posters use this, as it matches the video title from the source.

    I’m not sure about this since a large amount of videos are from YouTube which blocks the request to fetch the video title in Lemmy.

    I think video titles shouldn’t be changed, no matter how much clickbaity the titel is, because the video most likely is named the same on the original source (Youtube mostly).

    Are you okay with the current status quo of asking people to do so but not removing posts that don’t?






  • The largest political part in the last election is the populist PVV. It’s lead by “Geert Wilders” who blames everything on foreigners. The 3rd largest party, the VVD has gone full populist (more than before) now after their previous leader Mark Rutte left, although they’ve hit a bit of a snag after their new leader called a famous Dutch singer of being a antisemitist because he refused to sing at a place with Zionist posters. This backfired because this is somehow their only recent scandal that people care about.

    It’s a mess, the coalition hasn’t been able to get much done due to infighting and election season is coming up, so there are going to be a bunch of right-wing populist proposals purely for optics just like this one.
