Again, this fails to cover both the cases of someone who is checking out mbin/lemmy for the first time as well as someone who does decide it's maybe more than a sketchy site and doesn't have subscriptions yet.

I mean, I do for a lot of porn and some other communities (I'm not personally into anime at all, so those are usually among them). There are still two issues remaining:
- someone may be browsing and, through no fault of their own, have such a thing shown that can get them in trouble with their job or other community
- it can impact first impressions of new and potential users who may just give everything a skip thinking it's only some shady/porn site.
I don't want to live in a bubble for one but, more importantly, a new user will not have subscriptions.
A simplified explanation is that early traction on a video determines whether or not the algorithm will recommend it. If you miss that initial window, you will never get as many views. As such, channels have to aggressively test and change the title and thumbnail to gain the attention before that window closes. And yes, I hate it
I browse by active and get this in my feed without having interest in it, so it's not just people specifically visiting certain communities.
Phone, keys, and handkerchief. Add a wallet if I'm leaving the house.
Continue not living in the US. I got out in 2015. It does mean, however, that unless one of my parents is in serious trouble, I'm not setting foot in that country for the duration.
Still voting against trump, even if the alternative is a baked potato with googly eyes glued on it; trump is too dangerous, particularly with the recent Supreme Court rulings.
"Critical Thinking" was already taken, so I'll go with my similar-but-different answer of critical evaluation of sources/information. When I was a kid, we were never to let anyone in when home alone, even to just use the phone. We were told never to believe anyone on the other side of that door that wasn't family or emergency services (and even then to call the neighbors in the latter case). Today, so many of the same people who told me this are fooled by dis- and mis-information online or believe very poor sources. Sometimes, it does fall into the trap of "my sister/brother/pet albatros shared it so it must be true!" of thinking the source is already verifies. We all should get better at this.
Nothing has really caught my eye so far. I have a handful of wishlisted games, some of which are on sale, but I just don't feel compelled to get them. I'm actually considering trying to dig up my old SSI gold-box titles and see if I can get DOSBox or a VM working instead (though housework and farming generally eat up my non-main-job time at the moment).
Keep it to yourself and don't hurt others. So long as that's the case, what someone else believes is generally not my business.
I was raised in various evangelical protestant denominations of Christianity, went through a Neopagan period, and landed in atheist-leaning agnostic.
Are you saying that if one ethnicity uses a name another can't? If so, someone should inform all the Japanese people named after various white Disney characters (not that it's a huge group, but particularly around Frozen there were some Elsas and such).
