Hexagon is the bestagon. Hahaha...I like your hive response.

I'm using the Sync app for Lemmy. It looks like comments are ordered by points/voting and there doesn't appear to be a way to sort by activity. Hot/new/top/old are the options.

I don't deny that there will always be an element of echo chamber but I'd prefer it to be as balanced as possible.

Maybe because I'm using an app instead of visiting an instance website and have my default view set to subscribed communities that I'm not seeing an instance echo chamber. Lemmy just appears to be more programming/Linux/self host/home lab than anything else at the moment.

Why not host your own on-site VPN server if you want to be able to dial in/allow others to dial in?

If someone states a valid argument that you disagree with, you believe it should be sent to the bottom of the comments? Sounds like the reinforcement of a hive mind, and therefore Lemmy will become just another echo chamber.

Should there be another mechanism to show both? Probably.

I wish votes were like how Reddit originally intended their voting system to be and still states it to be. Upvote if it's relevant and adds to the conversation, otherwise downvote. But people use it as an agree/disagree system.

Mullvad compared to PIA, Google annoys me less with recaptures. I know it doesn't answer your question but thought I'd throw my 2 cents in since PIA was quite a popular choice with their YouTube sponsor slots and cheap prices

Why do you believe that?

It feels like it has a similar stance to what BeMe had but is somewhat successful. Less about you attempting to look perfect and more about every day life. The BeMe idea was to set your camera to record, hold it to your chest to record what ever you were looking at, and before you knew it the video was uploaded to the servers.

I think i commented on the wrong comment. Jaja.

But I agree with your comment here and the one I commented on originally.

In my eyes, Reddit vs Lemmy. 1 data controller and many data scrapers vs many data controllers and some data scrapers. Data will always be harvested, and data will always be sold/shared with third parties.

Is Lemmy supposed to be privacy focused, or is that what some claim? And if so, how is it supposed to be privacy focused?
