I have zero hope in humanity. Sure, you'll wave your signs and protest like we all have and do, but less will as rightwing rhetoric destroys more young minds minute by minute. I can't even keep a damn microphone on any game anymore without hearing lib this and lies that.
This shit has been going on for over 40 years. Good luck.
I actually don't agree with this, because while Facebook, X, Amazon, Ai and Google are all the front of the internet, they still aren't all of it. The small web is still churning along with selfhosted blogs and neocities, selfhosted apps are everywhere, some, like Disroot, even open to the public.
People willingly choose to use this garbage and let it into their lives. There's millions of sites and services to see, but people stick with familiarity.
It's like everyone is eating the same meal, even though there's other restaurants everywhere.
That's a dead end, I say no and even if I did, it doesn't change the attitude of blahaj users outside of blahaj, you act like you proved a point, you didn't, we get madder at eachother, I'm sure you've been around this track once or twice.
Lemmy is a federated site, and you have to accept that blahaj is a public instance, as do the rest of the users. If you guys can't have a conversation without flipping your shit, or can't handle your own business, then lock the door.
If it's any consolation, I'm with you on blahaj. It's like a sea of people who can't wait for someone to point a finger at. Your post was harmless, questioning, and didn't seem hate-filled at all. I usually avoid blahaj users, I never know when even a harmless phrase will be enough to cause one of them to have a nervous breakdown.
