How to de-radicalize my mom's youtube algorithm?

She’s almost 70, spend all day watching q-anon style of videos (but in Spanish) and every day she’s anguished about something new, last week was asking us to start digging a nuclear shelter because Russia was dropped a nuclear bomb over Ukraine. Before that she was begging us to install reinforced doors because the...

Any change should be done gradually i think. If the elder person notices that what shes watching is suddenly not the shows she subscribed to. Then she will clam up and refuse to watch the new shows unt OP bring back her “account”.

I use cloudhiker and webtoll. It’s fairly decent. Though occasionally I get time capsule sites, like personal blogs from the 2000s in geocities. Yes, try it and see with your own eyes.

If everyone moved to open source non-profit solutions, the tech industry would lose billions

I’m a FOSS (free and open source software) contributor and enthusiast. So I prefer to use such products (Lemmy instead of Reddit, Linux instead of Windows, Firefox instead of Chrome, Signal instead of WhatsApp, you get the idea). Was just thinking that if everyone moved to such solutions, the tech and ad industry would lose...

What are the chances that the instance owners join together and buid a cartel or corporation. Then sells our data.

Besides the unsettling idea that we are like a message board in public display. It’s good to know that our data are somewhat immune to being monetized. .

That’s what started me too. Then it snowballed as i tried every other app available to install. And now i cannot go back.

When you’re reading the post title, then suddenly new posts come in and bump the current post. And now you’re lost.

Also if you click a post and after you go back to the feed. The browser doesn’t remember your position. And now you’re lost again.

Sorry for the late reply. I was jumping from instance to instance.

Thi is now my app ranking

  1. Connect for Lemmy
  2. Jerboa
  3. Liftoff for Lemmy
  4. Firefox browser (mobile eeb display for lemmy is underrated)
  5. Wefwef (it has no block instance and user option, yet)

That’s the thing. If someone defederates with you, and you wand a community on that instance. Then you are free to make the lost community in your instance. And if re-federation happens, both community can co exist without problems.

Also you can make an account on the instance that defederated. So you still can view the community you want.

You can do dat with liftoff for lemmy. They have and everything “All” Section where all of your logged in instance in the app is combined into one feed.

As of the last update. It has surpassed Jerboa for me. So my ranking for best app at present is connect, jerboa and liftoff.

Jerboa is butter smooth if you are using an instance that is updated to 18. But unusable if you are in an instance that is still in version 17 (beehaw)
