  • This site is also the exact same format with the exact same mods. You're not fighting the fight you think you are.

  • Almost daily.

  • Why? Where do you use that anywhere else in your life

  • You need to spread a message to create action by leftist abandon participating in online digital spaces where messages are spread and then try to create action from nothing. Also when any message begins to propagate there's usually mods that crush it before it takes off.

  • After John McCain they vowed to never let it happen again

  • You'd have to participate in the democracy in a meaningful way. It's not just waiting every 4 years to vote or attending an 8 hr protest/fundraiser

  • There are no real anarchist anymore.

  • Gen-Z pre-purchase AAA games and hang out on r/Marvel salivating at the daily question some Intern cooked up for that day just so executives can mark "engagement UP" on a monthly teams call. Get fucking real. It's the most corporate owned generation to exist.

    Just look at the state of the internet now. Look at how it is built. There can be no room for creation and new. It's all mods trying to copy and paste last weeks questions to keep numbers up. Step outside that and BAM you're banned. Must keep the trains running.

    All of this is to capture people and sell their attention to marketing teams to sell that weeks pokemon or action movie. It is so inherent in the way the internet is now that Moderators don't even know that's what they're doing, let alone the users. Forums are not suppose to be like this. The internet was never suppose to be like this. You're suppose to see a butthole every now and then. That's how you know you are in an area they dont' control.

  • But how do you think that happens. You need to sustain cultural relevance but we gave up a presence on cultural platforms

  • Is your argument that Chinese government is not using technology to restrict freedoms?

    How is that being upvoted

    I would say that decades of western Hollywood has primed the population to mistrust any new technology and only see potential dystopian ends in exchange for entertainment. Combined with China spreading propaganda to encourage those views in western nations. Sites like lemmy and Facebook are heavily used as generators to spread mistrust.

  • Right but so are people. This was all inevitable from the start. Much worse stuff is coming. People should have been embracing methods to avoid this stuff decades ago. I'm not just talking about using a fucking ad blocker. There needed to be measures to fuck with data collection. Become hostile to any site's or content creators looking to sell viewers anything. Run applications that could feed junk data back to sites.

    Had people started earlier they wouldn't be facing the giant industry that grew out of a digital spaces that welcomed the things that eventually grew into this data collection beast we all knew were coming.

  • Yea it's unfortunate the Republicans are in power. They would have done something about this.

  • Any new technology instantly gets turned into some new boogeyman instead of being embraced. Works out great for China when western people become luddite at a very critical window of opportunity from emerging technology. You'd almost think China has a strong ability to flood western sites with propaganda.
