Comment on Oh great – now Facebook and Instagram want your private data to train Meta's latest AI pipe dream
Mojojojo1993@lemmy.world 4 months agoSorry I don’t grasp your comment. Can you elaborate
Theses usually a variation of this that makes it to all once a week.
your reasoning does fit the spitit of this list. You dont care because its not your data.To be clear, i am not faulting you for having that opinion even while i personally disagree, i am trying to sprak out about a rather noticeable case of double standards within the community.
What community?
Right, this can get confusing. I’ll give t a go.
Lemmy.world is the community you are a part off, its also the community the meme example i shared on.
A community is not the same as a subreddit but as a tiny full reddit. Its run by admins who set rules and standards for the entire server they own and with tends to come sort of ideology. When you go to lemmy by default you will see the frontpage of your community only.
Because you are in the same community That brought the meme i showed to the front page of “all” while simultaneously liking you using the same logic as is often used in critique shows that bias is present which is normal and ok but something we need to be aware about.
Its very likely that at least one of the People upvoting you saw that meme 2 days earlier and thought “yeah they only care when they are affected, which is obviously wrong and i would never do it” simultaneously id expect people who felt really strong about that meme to be perceptive enough to recognize it in your comment and downvote it. (No offense) but because it was about Facebook, many peopl on lemmy dont have facebook. We all passionately hate it. You basically got people agreeing against their own ideology, which is again normal but does weaken that ideology.
@memes, @technology within a community are call places but i don’t like that naming. They are like a subreddit and i find they actually have the strongest community feeling and guarded ideologies. They are much smaller so if you see double standards within one of those its usually a sign of an echo chamber.
Theres also the fediverse. Which is all lemmy and related servers that are federated. This is the bigger lemmy community that curates what gets to the front page of “all” because most of lemmy is progressive and safe for minorities other servers a “communities” that openly welcome nazis and c-abusers have been defederated so they can no longer see or interact with eachother. If you both comment on the post on a neutral server then you wont even see eachother comments
Progressives like me should strive to care against that are wrong no matter if its us or someone else. I am not from ukraine or palestine, i dont have family or friends there but i know people are suffering and i want a better world for them, likeways i want the boomer population on facebook to have a better world where there data isn’t routinely stolen by Bigtech.
That is a lot of thinking. It’s interesting you mentioned echo chamber then go on to describe an echo chamber. Nobody on any subreddit lemmy nor community all have the same thoughts and feelings.
So there shouldn’t be a single idea. That’s not a good thing. For humanity to work, discourse is required.
Single ideologies that are narrow and never wavering are pretty bad news.
See example Nazi Germany.

The people still back on the
matrixmajor platforms still do things that affect you indirectly like voting, buying things that shape everyone’s market, having their cognitive flaws exploited in ways that yours may also be…Mojojojo1993@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yeah I suppose that’s pretty fair.
My only defense I suppose is that regardless of their data being harvested. They vote against their own interests.
They have been warned for decades that their data was being harvested. They did not listen because they do not care. They do not vote for things that would improve my life. So even if the statement is correct.
It does not change the outcome. People will vote for what they want. We are not altruistic.
We should be. As things that improve others will inherently impact us. As voting for selfish reasons will folly us all the same.
