Back in the day, introducing video posts destroyed facebook, a friends chatter platform, slowly but surely. Same fate with instagram, a photography/memory platform, getting into reels and videos.
Now if I go to reddit once a month to check in what the vibe is since my “detox” I realized.
Its all designed to drain. Drain your energy, your free thought, your long term happiness. Like not even hyperbolic, this is really scary.

And we all know thanks to the c/reddit community here on lemmy: Its full of this hidden but omniprersent corpo shilling, ads and corpo censoring.
URLs to videos (YT or peertube) are allowed. I think some front-ends even embed videos in posts.
The strength of Lemmy is you can use a frontend (or change the settings of your current one) to make it work for you.
