While you are correct that suffering is a better metric, there would be many in our society that would gravitate towards higher rated suffering items in the same way they want real fur coats and real leather in their Ferraris. That would backfire quickly.
I really liked Wefwef, it led me to finding Connect, which I like even more. Excited for Sync too, it’ll just get easier and easier to help build this community
I’m pretty “stupid” as well when it comes to online literacy, it’s definitely challenging me to use Lemmy (I’m on Jerboa right now, gonna try some other apps like Wefwef and Sync when it comes out to see how I like them) but I really like the community and the potential here. I’m gonna have to learn how to do a lot of new things here, like figure out the extent of where my log in works, how to organize the instances I want to go to and be a part of, and how to search through this content. But I’d rather get on the ball now so I can fully integrate and leave Reddit behind. It already felt like a cesspool before Spez did his thing, and it’s getting worse by the minute now that the 3rd party apps are down
This is so cool, I’m so uninformed about Plex. I just heard about it on r/Piracy days before the Reddit shutdown. I’m getting ready to sit down and learn how to do all that, the hardware will baffle me I’m sure.
