I get that but its more so be being sick of the rich oligarchs owning the primary ways citizens communicate and then making a fake reality and then using that to influence culture, voting, communities ect… Its a huge problem in general. How many Americans use social media and what % of those are on mainstream platforms? Its awful. I am looking at the much greater social impact as well.
Comment on I HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM SO MANY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS FOR NOT BEING OKAY WITH FASCISM AND VIOLENCE!

Why do people come to Lemmy to complain about other platforms?
It’s like complaining about Big Macs at Five Guys. Nextdoor sucks, that’s why we’re not hanging out there.

You’re preaching to the choir. It’s still annoying.

I know… I am sorry. I just feel to helpless to really be able to so much and its awful. I contact representatives. I am in a union and actively participate. I protest when I can. I try to educate people but its just so disheartening sometimes and its lonely.

You don’t need to apologize to someone who is grumpy that not everything written is relevant to him.

No, you are not annoying and Im glad to hear your experince. Its sad that 99% of communication happens in the billionaires platforms.

Cool, I’m also in a union but I’m near to being homeless and going hungry. Everyone who wants to save the world seems to ignore the people who are in need right in front of them.
My suggestion for your peace of mind is to improve the lives directly in your community. Educating people is fine (when done face to face), but bringing water and basic medical supplies to protesters is going to help attrition.
Go for the smaller victories over writing paragraphs that people skim over.

Some people need to vent. You don’t need to read it.

There are lots if people new to Lemmy and not everyone is aware of what really happens on the large platforms. Maintaining awareness is a good thing I think. Especially for new users it can affirm a choice to leave those platforms.

Yeah don’t they know that there are pricks like you on Lemmy that will bully them for trying to make conversation?
