Because you’re thinking about it wrong. With a bigger population it’ll cost more to influence them. If you ever watched how they did it in 2016, they started small, always. The first sub Reddit’s to see lots of opinion shifts where small subs like local interest before they moved on to the larger metropolitan ones. If you’re paying to influence people then you need a chain of initiation to start. This makes Lemmy a much greater target than Reddit. Look at opinions on AI. Lemmy was full on sharing multiple daily headlines like “AI is coming for your daughter’s” while Reddit thought it was just a neat tool

If tennis and riding a bicycle are sports then so is gaming.
So they are not sports
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 1 week ago:
Really? Have you all not realized that removed almost all porn a few years ago. Anything that wasn’t from a studio or only fans account was removed. All these sites are owned by the same company and its best easy for them to purge content or restrict access. Even with a VPN, they’ll just find the IP they use and ban those over time
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 1 week ago:
Don’t they get the common VPN IP and just block them

Remember when the Internet was about collaborating instead of making money and getting famous. I think we will never see that again

- Comment on Not promoting hate speech but what happened to all the slights/slurs/vulgarity from like the 20s and 40s. There were so many. Now it seems well I can only think of three? 2 weeks ago:
I tell my kids this now. It’s all fun when you’re young but as you get older you’ll realize some people say these things with malice and that’s when you start to see why it’s not a great practice. Over time you see some people aren’t just joking or shit talking, they really don’t like women or lgqtb or librarians.

Why not? It could be. You choose violence that’s your choice. But there’s also tons of ways to not go that route.
- Comment on How are these ICE agents allowed to fire on protestors like this 2 weeks ago:
It’s kind of a crazy take because I know you’re joking but the implication is that the left really has no power to do anything. If the roles were reversed they absolutely would not stand for any of this
- Comment on How are these ICE agents allowed to fire on protestors like this 2 weeks ago:
What if we just coordinate better and became a bit more strategic and forward thinking.
I mean these people are obsessed with image. They are dependent on the public for that image. We are the public ergo …
- Comment on How are these ICE agents allowed to fire on protestors like this 2 weeks ago:
The answer is to find out why it is what at and find solutions.

Incredibly insightful. Thank you.
Is it a fantasy on my part that there’s some mythical law firm or society that looks for these violations?
I always thought there were groups looking for federal agencies violating constitutional rights. I’m also worried about the face mask issue only because I fear that they’re also not keeping accurate records. I would love to see a lot more effort going into collecting and compiling as much evidence for any ice who are covering their face. When crowds form, don’t just worry about getting the event, instead get pictures of each individual from all angles. Upload it and share it. Then when the time comes there is a mountain of evidence to use.

It’s goal was what we see today. It mobilized the left to become the language police to everyday people since most never cared about this. They might say something was R worded but never had actual prejudice or ill will against someone that was mentally disabled. This create a huge wedge that let the right capitalize on to gain more power. The left has been led around by their collar for decades. It’s effective

That’s different. That’s just pure hatred. South park nailed it with the episode where the kids have a kangaroo court because they were saying a gay slur but had no clue it was derogatory to gay people.
- Comment on Western Executives Shaken After Visiting China 2 weeks ago:
Remember when unions and everyone were fighting against automation. What are you shocked at here?
The North American right and left both have become extreme Luddites over the past decade. What result did we expect? Lots of people said decades ago that we’d be left in the dust. AI is the next one field we’re doing the same thing on. The general population keeps getting influenced to hobble itself on new innovations and then we’re shocked we’re getting surpassed as these innovations continue to develop in other countries?

Right which is my point. But why does the left fall on their own sword. They have all the ability. If we truly believe the left have more people, that Gerry mandering is needed because most people lean left. Then it should be a no brainer than the left needs to activate a fire under each other to overwhelm spaces. But we do the opposite. We retreat. The only conclusions I can think of when I read between the lines is that we were targeted by right wing astro turfing as much as the right was. Or we’re just not smart people as a whole and it’s actually maybe a good thing we’re being backed into our corners

Is it? Can you show me that the AI headlines and hype on Lemmy is different from NY Post website’s approach to immigrants?
Same coin different faces

Depends if you’re in their labor camp or not. There’s a time and place for everything. Why be concerned about the environment if creates an environment where the people who will outpace you will destroy it anyways. You’re not saving anything by letting them seize power
