  • Decentralized Social Media Is the Only Alternative to the Tech Oligarchy

  • Yes of course.

    But by what method or algorithm does this DECENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA system protect us from propagandists and censors?

    What is a method in THAT?

    Distributed tagging and voting? The grace of our benevolent moderators? Something else?

    I mean, combatting propaganda and censorship is the #1 issue here.

  • How do we protect ourselves from propagandists and censors? Large, small, popular and individual.

  • It's a good point.

  • You read an article, written by somebody you never met, accusing a person you never met, citing evidence you never saw. Now you feel angry at the accused person. What does that make you?

  • If we could do emotional memory transfer then we wouldn't need movies anymore.

    Movies are an indirect way of evoking emotions.

  • It's a fairly on-point criticism actually.

  • It's one example of a common disease. So I figured it bore discussion. Now put it back in your pants and zip up.

  • I want to spend a half hour this evening reading an essay that contains ideas I have probably not considered before. What can you recommend?

  • I said that the word of an authority that I respect would do it.

    And by "do it" I meant (in reply to TootSweet@lemmy.world) that it would justify anger at the accused.

    That's pretty far from truth. It's putting my trust in an authority.

  • I don't know who stormtoss is. I took it you were saying that this comic artist was like stormtoss but not as bad. Then I offered that we skip all that and talk about the comic instead.

    Clear?

  • so you would rather not address this point directly.

    Jump

  • But to address your point.

    To treat fiction and reality as equally real. And treat our responses to either as having equal substance. Seems deranged to me.

  • So you're saying that this guy is a nazi and his comics are bad, to some noteworthy degree.

    Any comment on his actual point here?

  • Wrong? I didn't say anything about wrong.

    I said they're different. Worlds apart in fact.

    One is evoked by an imaginary person. The other is evoked by a real person.

    It's as different as bananas and banana-emojis.

    Wait, nevermind. I am a worm

    Do you prefer a polite request with an implicit punishment-threat or an outright demand with an explicit punishment-threat? Also, why?

    Reality is made of the physical world and talk, but talk has recently gotten much bigger. How has this changed reality?
