For a better lemmy experience, remember to block lemmy.ml , lemmygrad, and hexbear.net . On mbin, use URL spec /d/<domain_name> and block. Or since that doesn’t seem to work, just block their communities whenever they pop-up.

Moved on to the better fediverse platform, mbin, avoid lemmy instances: https://github.com/jointhefediverse-net/jointhefediverse.net/blob/main/README.md (scroll to bottom)

  • That’s always the way these bullshit fake grass roots subreddits start out. “It’s just a parody” was also the excuse for The_Donald, which they eventually had to ban from reddit, which just ended up meaning the userbase just made r/conservative that.

    On a personal rant, I will always point to that before there were “bots” and sockpuppet accounts, there was and continues to be Eve Online multiboxing and alts, and if you ever wanted to study the way psychopaths behave that Eve Online is the MMO to follow. Where do people think that the psychopaths the were attracted to it because it allowed them to take the mask off and gained experience at being psychopaths from it, that used it gain proficiency, ended up doing in the real world? To further the context, in the gaming controversy Elon Musk had with asmongold, Musk basically tried to argue that hiring someone to play a game was as normal as asmongold hiring editors while still being considered a gamer, and this sort of argument would basically only pass mustard in one game - Eve Online. It is basically the Steam of psychopaths - not everyone playing it is, but psychopaths flock to it and are even born from it. And they love to create and stimulate fake grass root movements using alts and bots. r/conservative? Literally shares mods with r/eve.





  • Not the European institutions. They exist on their own merits that have nothing to do with building social webs.

    I’m also sick of LIVE news channels hosting on YouTube that enable chat rooms without any supervision and force it onto your face unless you close them. Just disable that shit, you aren’t dedicated streamers, who do bother to moderate chats.

    “Social webs” where they are not needed are just increasingly becoming an opportunity to saturate with shit posts, fake news, and propaganda by randoms. I am not going to them for a random two cent Joe’s opinion, I am going to them for whatever their trained and paid professionals are providing.

    It can be federated to some degree, but shouldn’t be as a two way participant . For example, as a read only instance whom you can receive a user in if you are part of that institution, but whose use will also be limited to that instance and with only a very limited and controlled portion of those instances being shared with other instances.







  • You probably crossed an admin and didn’t even realize it. Reddit is really utterly shit behind the curtains, they just happen to put on a good face that has generally fooled politicians and influencers alike. Most people care about what’s behind the curtains like they do with politics, not much at all, so they keep getting away with it specially due to the heavy control they have on the narrative. You know societies will begin to give a shit about social networks and what that is doing to our real societies when you actually have a recourse against their Black Mirror Nosedives.
