Nice one ha ha

you still custimise your feed to large extent by following stuff.

I’m not that familiar with the latest versions of the three I listed, but I’ve seen quite a few complaints on Reddit recently who seems to be pushing irrelevant content just for rage bait.

Also the things you mentioned about tracking are there on Twitter too:

Twitter’s privacy policy states they use the information collected to: “improve and personalise our products and services so that you have a better experience on Twitter, including by showing you more relevant content and ads, suggesting people and topics to follow, enabling and helping you discover affiliates, third-party apps, and services.”

It’s important to note that opting out of Twitter’s interest-based ads doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t see targeted advertising. For example, you may still see ads which are based on information such as what you Tweet, who you follow and the links you click on Twitter.

Often while browsing, if Twitter recognises that you’re interacting with something repeatedly, they will offer for you to follow that particular topic – which can be anything from celebrities to sports teams.

except the short form video type one, as you rely entirely on an algorithm.

Facebook, Twitter, even Reddit nowadays promote a certain type of content (reaction inducing), so unfortunately it’s not only shorts

To be fair, alt-right content is present in all types of medias: short videos, but also tweets, articles, long videos, essays, etc.

The fake Facebook groups created by Russia to antagonize two local groups did not need shorts videos to succeed: https://www.npr.org/2017/11/01/561427876/how-russia-used-facebook-to-organize-two-sets-of-protesters

If you look at Twitter nowadays, the “For you” is going to be more or less what you listed above

Mbin is the new kbin. http://fedia.io/ if you want to have a look

It’s always interesting to see how less active this one is compared to the ones on Jlai.lu.

• !actualite@lemmy.world has 57 monthly active users
• !france@jlai.lu has 543
• !monde@jlai.lu 168
• !europe@jlai.lu 118

• !forumlibre@jlai.lu is a chill community in French (think !casualconversation@lemm.ee but in French)

Interesting, didn’t know about this https://eloratings.net/

Oh yeah, that’s for sure.

As a Belgian, I see where he comes from. The match yesterday was dreadful.

I get that we are almost done with the golden generation (and KDB is the last player from that era, Lukaku doesn’t seem to be that good anymore).

It sucks, but we’re back in the “top 20” European teams rather than top 10. Think Austria rather than France.

That’s life.

Well done France, Belgium is back to its normal level.

Ouch

We are lucky if we get a draw

Belgium’s defense seems to be lacking. Another sign that the current generation won’t probably allow us to reach the same level as the previous one.

France woke up after their goal, they might do another one

Ah crap

Belgium seems more confident than France

Niiice

Belgian here, in a kind of similar situation.

How is the national team’s perception in Switzerland?

In Belgium people tend to be harsh, but they forget that for 10 years we wouldn’t even qualify for any major tournament. 3rd place in WC 2018 was already amazing for a small country

Nice to see Openda and and Doku starting to settle in the attack.
