So, and I’m not at all arguing for them here let me be clear, but things like Reddit being dragged in the media for that jailbait subreddit and the Covid stuff causing lawmakers to basically say “hey if you keep allowing disinformation we are going to have to regulate it” is what they mean by leftist bias.

I was reading yarvins bs the other day and that basically sums up the thinking.

Do as I say not as I do is power of no one stops you.

What do you want people to say to you on the Internet that is owned and monitored by the same people doing this?

We gotta fight this. Can’t just leave.

Probably. He’s only had access for a few weeks. There’s no way for him to know.

Yup that’s what I meant. And really just because of this whole current situation, ya know?

They must be one of those doge hackers!

Hey, y’all… let’s go back to the old internet rule of not feeding the trolls. There’s a small enough amount of people actively posting right now to stop those users in their tracks if we ignore them.

In the attention economy don’t give them attention.

Oh I didn’t mean they’d draft you.

Not at 18.

Shit apples don’t fall far from the shit tree, Randy.

Also consider no longer giving your government free loans through your tax returns.

I got some bad news for you if you think it will be that easy for you to just walk away.

As if the vast majority of Americans even understand a percent of what goes into any economy.

We sure that phantom isn’t the musk in the machine?

I’m pretty sure I’d fail one. I have some issues if I get interrogated I just look guilty I guess.

I guess I just don’t understand. FEMA doesn’t do these kinds of handouts, and they’ve always operated like this. If it was trump that was President what would they say then?

They are being actively threatened by this mob. They aren’t just quitting.

Well Reddit started off with a bunch of sock puppet accounts to make the site look larger than it was. Now they have bots doing that so when you refresh Reddit it’s always new. Back when it was good there was a point where you’d just run out of Reddit. It was a meme. They figured out how to stop that feeling.

But that feeling is good! We will have to get used to the fact that real human sites don’t constantly update if we want nice things.

Lemmy was hard to use a year ago or so.
