I've noticed that a lot of people online are becoming very unhinged. They are looking for fights, placing people on their enemies list if they have the wrong opinion, and just stay online arguing for hours. I don't know if these are real people, bots from nation states, people arguing with bots, or bots arguing with bots.
No, saying I'm neither side means exactly that. I don't know why you're trying to make enemies.
Listen, this topic isn't about right wing this or let wing that. If you want to argue with someone online then look for ChatGPT to keep you company because I'm not the one. I don't know why you want to come to this post just to start shit but you may need to take a break from the internet. Also, I'm not a conservative, I just listen to what they say to understand their position instead of letting the media tell me how to think.
Now, just for funsies, what is the percentage of Black men who chose not to vote, and by acclimation, and I use that word charitably, didn’t vote for Harris thereby giving their missing Harris vote to Trump?
How exactly do you give a missing vote to Trump? If they didn't vote then neither candidate got that vote.
Yeah Lemmy seems pretty left-wing but at least you can host your own instance if you're right-wing. I'm on neither side but I try to listen to both. Forcing silence and compliance will only backfire because it's in human nature to resist.
We are in the era of the Dead Internet Theory. There's no point to being online just to fight bots. I've banned these accounts but I'm only on Reddit for the communities that aren't on Lemmy.
Thanks for the list.
When people claim they are for freedom of speech they mean the speech they approve of. I'm for banning hatred, racism, personal attacks, threats, and similar but discussions are hard.
After the whole API and third-party app ban I was already leaving Reddit. I only comment once a week at most but I stuck around for the fringe subreddits like r/selfhosted. I am done with this corporate social media. It's all trash, AI, and bots.
I miss the good ol' days when the internet was young. Would spend time on the IGN forums, find random Geocities sites, catch a seizure on someone's MySpace page, or waste an afternoon finding random things using StumbleUpon.
The plot of Gattaca is getting closer and closer to reality.
