Please could you be specific, so we don't have to check out Reddit, to find out? Not a dig, I'm just trying really hard to avoid the platform after moving. Cheers.

You don't actually say anything, the question is why this comment is being upvoted here.

Reddit is part of the US military-intelligence-surveillance permanent war economy, so it reflects that perspective. Worldnews for example seems to be moderated by IOF people. A former NATO lobbyist is very high up in the company. One time Reddit let slip where their largest concentration of active users was and it was some US air force base. All dissenting views are shut down and the site gets more openly white supremacist by the day.

An ex-Atlantic Council member is basically their chief moderation officer.

The Atlantic Council is basically a representative for US foreign policy - it's staffed overwhelmingly by (ex) US intelligence and DoD staff. The same is true for Facebook and I assume Google as well.

I cannot understate how important technological independence is in this day and age. The fact that Europe doesn't have robust social media or search is a testament to Europe's decline and Europe's fall into the American sphere of influence.

China has Baidu and WeChat and Russia has Yandex and VK. It's not a surprise that they're also the only big countries which can maintain a coherent anti-Western policy. It isn't necessarily about controlling your population, but about preventing other state actors from controlling your population.

I find Lemmy more caustic. A cop was ambushed and murdered fairly recent and it had alot 50 comments. Absolutely every comment but mine was celebrating it. I was happy to get down votes.

No, no we have not, good sir. Why would we go to such a rechid and vile place?

Privvy, what do they say?
