  • This is one of the main reasons I don’t really like the channel.

    I like the content, I like the ideas presented. That is why I watch it.

    I kinda don’t like the guy though.

    He also has major grass is greener syndrome in that he has distilled his entire life seemingly to the specific issues he talks about in the video and nothing else.

    Like the Netherlands is his main place right? Well they are pretty damn racist over there. Even if it isn’t in your face, it’s always subtle. And to other white people. Romanians and Bulgarians get discriminated against all the time.

    Example: My cousin gf (Romanian) applied for housing as as she now has an internship. Over email and the phone she was told yea there are many units available.

    First time she goes to talk to them in person, all of a sudden nothing is available. Listings still show housing availability lol.

    Her English is pretty good, but she has a clear accent.

    So she makes my cousins (her bf) go in person. Except he doesn’t tell them he’s with her. He has better English, more neutral accent. There are units available of course.

    Lol.

    I’m glad he refers people to other resources to check out, but……I just don’t like his attitude lol.














  • I disagree. What made Reddit for me is that there were so many people on it, than any niche hobby had it’s own space.

    Sure the main big subreddits were shit shows, but the hobby subreddits were great! Something that still isn’t a thing for Lemmy. Specialization.

    I still find myself checking Reddit out for subreddits on specific niche games for example.

    Like there is literally a subreddit for almost anything. Robot vacuums. Sins of a Solar Empire. Crusader kings. Fish tanks. MotoGP.

    Things that probably will take a while to get running on Lemmy.

    Right now Lemmy is too “general” for me to really have a feed of things I actually care about.
