The limit will basically be if the right wing people turn on him because you guys aren’t doing shit fuck all. The best that the left can hope for is for people on the right having a “come to Jesus” moment and wanting to stop him cause they will. Lemmy users can post about it when it happens
Yea it’s insane. We need to get back to the idea that anyone is replaceable. That’s the safest they can be when people realizes any successful attempts wouldn’t even matter.
Security industry is incestuous
Politics isn’t a game of physical strength
Maybe. Did they face consequences? Who polices the rules?
Yea which is not just targeted at right wing people. They likely have just as much aimed at the left. They may even want people on the left to remove themselves from the conversation so the machine doesn’t need to spend as much energy spreading it’s message. If the people who would call them out or challengé them are gone then it benefits them.
No, you’re not. In fact when you actually engage with them smartly, a lot really do lean socialist. They just don’t realize it because for some strange reason, progressives and leftist decided to abandon channels of communication and to hide away entirely telling each other to block anyone that looked at them funny.
The harsh reality that a lot of you have to face is that they may actually be smarter than the progressive left. They had a higher social awareness and they all knew the rules of the game and played well. We failed to fucking show up time and time again. When we did, it was the most useless fucking bullshit.
We are not what we once were. Go look around this place. Go read comment sections and try to find good insightful commentary that adds to the discussing. It’s all bullshit. It is all just repeating the same bullshit over and over again every post every day. Nothing is being created here.
You say that like you’re smarter then that. Or like your apart of a group that is better than that. But you’re not. Like it’s 15 years into this shit and you’re comment sounds like you’re just realizing this. Wait until you find out they’re also aware of this and not only do they use it to their benefit, you’ll find the group your in is totally ignorant to this. You’re being astonished at a bard playing music to rally his group while you’re in a group with bards that think music is stupid.
You’re on fucking lemmy after they convinced everybody here to leave social media. Wake up
Look around. We are herded into the most uncreative communities meant to stifle momentum. This community is for posting only news articles from certain sites and only about a certain topic. This other community is for memes, but only memes about Y. For YZ memes we have YZ meme community. Don’t even think about posting YZ memes in Y that’s a ban. This other community is for posting about beans.
But they’re the fucking stupid ones
Moderated right into our pens
But they beat you guys
Yea you all don’t really hate on these people enough. Il never understand that
What if we can anointed a single small group of young people and PR team interns that can just dictate to us what we can and cannot do with these spaces. Blocking others also works. Being able to ignore problems is best.
Do people on the left not realize how cooked they are?
It’s going to get so much worse. Kids have rejected the left every where. Those kids are going to grow up and compound with the adults who already love this stuff.
Votes like this are just the beginning. The only chance they get is if the global right fuck up something. But after Iran, I’m not really sure what’s left other than years of global right leaving governments.
So how do we bring moderation to these sites we can access using tor. Need to make sure people aren’t just doing whatever they want. That would be insane
Can those tools be used to post memes about beans and moths?
Imagine being so stupid you fall for that astroturf nonsense.
I’m sorry but we had to support the 23 year old content creator who makes Garfield comics and earns $10/month. That was more important then anticipating the threat of artificial Data scarcity threat that everyone warned about 20 years ago.
It’s cool though, that artisanal comic is going to really make me laugh as the authoritarians go door to door looking for undesirables
What is the lows are actually the project 2025 guys turning off the tap so Trump actually fucks off next election and they can put the next guy in
My first comment was about working 8hrs for 9hrs. You came here being smug about 9hrs being acceptable. It isn’t and shouldn’t be. You can’t even engage honestly and never intended to. You are who you are
Depends on the job.
For me it’s because this smug attitude of “people still use it” is ignorant to reality and that ignorance has serious consequences if you’re politically minded.
Where ever there is popular social media site, there are accounts on the left that are trying to convince everyone to abandon the most popular sites.
At the same time there are people on the left who are frustrated with how the whole world appears to love Trump and his right wing messaging.
Some accounts promote this thinking where they convince people on the left to abandon these town squares which only gives room to right wing voices while the people that left the town square complain how their opinions are not magically shared by others.
So when I see people say something promoting this idea that the left is too good to bother, then i downvote because I hate that opinion. It has fucked us so hard.
Where you fighting that fight because everybody who seems to care is also removing themselves from all social media. They keep saying they’re doing things locally like …
Meeting in coffee shops?
Like weirdly I’ve had this phrase said to me multiple times and it’s so silly. Hold on guys I’m going to release a new movie I spent years making. I refuse to use the space with millions of people cause I don’t like who created it. I’m going to stand around Starbucks and tell people about it. Find me 40 years to build up a cult following
