Edward Bernays, the nephew of Sigmund Freud, was a pioneer of propaganda and public relations. He is credited with the introduction of bacon and eggs into the American breakfast. In the 1920s, Americans typically ate light breakfasts of coffee, orange juice, and rolls. In order to increase bacon sales, Bernays wrote to 5,000 physicians asking whether a heavy breakfast was better for health than a light breakfast. 4,500 physicians wrote back confirming that a heavy breakfast was better for health as the body is depleted of nutrients after a night of sleep. This "research" of doctors encouraging Americans to eat a heavier breakfast, namely "bacon and eggs," was published in several major newspapers and magazines to great success. Beech-Nut's profits increased rapidly, and bacon and eggs became a staple of the American breakfast[1][3][4][5][6].

Edward Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor and government whistleblower, has been credited with the quote "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say". Snowden has argued that privacy is a fundamental right and that without it, individuals cannot have anything for themselves. The "nothing to hide" argument has been used to defend the collection and use of government data beyond surveillance and disclosure, but critics argue that it is inherently paradoxical and that what is hidden is not necessarily relevant. Snowden has also stated that the burden of justification falls on those seeking to infringe upon human rights, and that nobody needs to justify why they "need" a right.

I don't know there is a lemmy-stats-crawler utility that does it automatically and produces a json file. So all I do is parse that json file to get the numbers.

Depending on which instances are blocked you will see different content in ones or others. Which is why I choose instance based on the minimum number of blocked users based on the results of this script.

Maybe get your country to have a higher democracy index than china before criticizing them?

I knew I recognized him from somewhere. He was the developer of lib.reviews. https://github.com/eloquence

The one I like most is YouTube, where it shows everything from the last few days and then only the most popular content from the last few weeks, months, and even years. I would like something similar, where the further I browse, the more votes a post must have to show up in the feed.

I would like if URLs were SEO friendly and you could search by community from a search engine like site:instance.com/community_name

This should have been the way it was implemented from the beginning until the built-in search was half as good as the search engine.
