  • They probably won't get paid which is the main reason they are there to begin with.

  • i understand there are a lot of facist AI companies, but how can an entire technology be facist?

    AI companies and governments are spreading anti-ai propaganda to push for regulations that will benefit them and limit the usage people can do of the technology.

  • It's a good question for the people using it but the point is that you can really verify if someone is using it or not

    Jump

  • That's what i'm afraid the most, if you look at the source some of this content is shady as fuck

  • Sure, I’ll try to practice what I preach. What do you hope to get from this discussion?

    By asking people why they keep upvoting and sharing content from a proprietary platform owned by a nazi perhaps i can understand better their reasoning and help them and encourage them to do better.

    The phrases like “wrong” or “like it or not” are rigid and come off as not open for discussion. I try to use words like “appear” or “seem,” because my observation may be how I’m seeing it and not what you intend. I believe you that you may be trying to have a genuine discussion, but that’s not the tone of the verbiage.

    There is nothing wrong in using "wrong" or "like it or not" in a discussion that is already open, if you are triggered by these word it sound like they are hurting your ego perhaps because you don't like to even assume the possibility that you are wrong. It's fine to assume that the following statement is wrong: "advertising does not give visibility to companies"

  • So the reason is historical. There was a time when Twitter was the source of information.

    So how do you explain the content from meta threads?

    Jump

  • I think people just see a thing that they agree with an upvote it.

    They should try to be smarter and check the source first

  • So should everyone who supports Ukraine stop interacting with Lemmy because the creators are tankies?

    Lemmy is a free and decentralized platform that is challenging the private and centralized counterpart which is a core of government propaganda from cina to russia to the us. Believe it or not lemmy devs are doing more for humanity than any other authoritarian government "supporting" ukraine. If an identical project would exist and was developed by smarter people it would be wise to chose one over the other

    Jump

  • You are a much better example of what you are describing. Instead of arguing that i'm not open to a genuine discussion bring in the question yourself if you don't agree with me. Like it or not, it is not irrelevant where the content originates from because it gives visibility and space to x and the users there.

  • Why do people keep upvoting twitter/x content?

    Jump

  • We are on a decentralized and free platform, I'm genuinely asking why people are upvoting reposts from x and sharing content that they could simply write themself. You said it's irrelevant where the content originates from and i argued that it does indeed matter because it gives these users and x visibility

  • Why do people keep upvoting twitter/x content?

    Jump

  • Where the content originates from is irrelevant.

    Wrong and the nazi owner of x is the perfect example: if you share whatever good thing he may post you are also giving visibility to all the other bullshit he says

    Why do people keep upvoting twitter/x content?

  • New Twitter launches, says Musk's X gave up the name

    Jump

  • Most of what musk does is dumb.

    People are dumber than him though, for example there are plenty of idiots here who share content from his platforms

  • Meta agrees to pay up to $17.1bn to settle claims its platforms harm children

  • Amazon's New AI Data Center Is So Enormous That It Appears It Will Become the Largest Single Source of Pollution in the United States

    Jump

  • And don't forget to vote for the lesser evil party that will allow amazon to build just a dozen of these enormous datacenters instead of even more

  • Trump and Musk Are Friends Again. How Convenient.

    Jump

  • First post in the lemmy.world frontpage right is a repost from X. Each time you upvote one of these and give X ads you are literally helping trump.

  • The ONLY viable way of destroying the two party system is to support the pro-democracy progressive movement within the Democratic party.

    You do not destroy the two party system by keep supporting it.

    So here we are back at vote for Dems, no matter who, or surrender to fascism. That is your only choice.

    To me it sound like you have already surrendered to fascism

    And which party is spearheading all of it? It ain’t the Dems.

    both of them

    Are you seriously pointing to the Dems as the “criminal scum”?

    I am, the previous democratic administration supported and fueled a genocide where thousand of innocent kids got murdered. They didn't simply close an eye on it, they actively supported it.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_support_for_Israel_in_the_Gaza_war

    This “both sides” horseshit isn’t even just delusional at this point. It is entirely divorced from reality.

    The reality is that as time goes USA is climbing the chart to become the worst evil empire in history, each decade they start a new war where thousand of innocent people get murdered. Red and blue administrations one after another the war machine never stop but get boosted and replenished to start another conflict.

    Younger people trend progressive. Socialism is the leading ideology of younger people.

    Hopefully they do but sadly many of them are brainwashed by propaganda, US democratic party is as much as progressive as some right wing parties are in europe.

    My dude, open your eyes to the now. Both sides are objectively NOT the same in degree of genocide,

    Dude both red and blue latest administrations literally supported and fueled the genocide providing israel any sort of help. There aren't degrees of genocide, if you support the murder of innocent children you are scum on every degree.

    I actually am. I’m voting for the only viable party that can change the corrupted system and keep the fascists at bay.

    Fascists already rule US. The previous US government knew trump was a pedophile and didn't do shit about it.
