what fediverse services do you use

and why do you use the fediverse

and maybe optionally do you think that peertube is good

mine: i use lemmy and mastodon and i use the fediverse because i want to help open source not for the big platform's being bad

I use Lemmy and Mastodon.

What's not to like? Actual human responses and nice people, no ads, no ai, and no algorithm deciding what I see.

    I would argue that most of the responses are not from humans, and most of them are not nice. But no ads is a great feature! ;)

    Depends on your instance. Most are human-moderated and gated in various ways.

    Security doesn’t matter when the owners of the instances are the ones controlling the bots

    Yeah, there's an even lower barrier of entry for bots on a federated model, by design. And people on here are definitely less nice than on reddit, the vibe is generally negative: most posts are rants, complaints or bad news. I miss the cat pictures sometimes.

    That's an interesting experience. Sometimes I feel like my feed has too many cat pictures.

    Maybe it's my feed. My front page never has relevant posts, no matter how I tweak my subscriptions, so most days I end up just browsing "all" sorted by most upvotes.

    I mostly browse all as well. But one thing to try, is blocking communities and users. Block US news communities and you'll find a lot less bad news. When you see people acting in bad faith in the comments, have a quick browse of their profile to see if they are usually like that, then block them if they are.

    There aren't that many users on Lemmy, and there are even fewer users that actually post and comment. You may find it's the same ones over and over, and blocking them helps.

    Now on to your more pressing problem. Presumably you're seeing content from !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone, sorting by top in the last day I can see three memes with cats: https://programming.dev/c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone?dataType=Post&sort=TopDay

    But the real action is here: https://programming.dev/c/cat@lemmy.world?dataType=Post&sort=New

    There are like 20 posts in the last few days, most of them with plenty of upvotes.
