  I am! and the difference is that lemmy doesn’t seem designed to convert people to Marxist-Leninism, while Facebook seems designed to agitate and suppress meaningful discourse while simultaneously entrenching consumerism even more than ever. Mark Zuckerberg is one of those Roman Guys, you know, them, but I don’t think that the propaganda I referred to was in service of convincing everyone that Julius Caesar was rad. Mostly, these things are larger than their founders. And Facebook is still a propaganda network designed to convince people that if they leave, they’ll lose touch with all their friends.

  Meta built and maintains a few web frameworks. That’s great. They also build and maintain a propaganda network that’s happy to work in accord with abusive governments, for profit. Which of these is a greater moral weight? I’m not gonna overlook the latter because react is comfy.

  In general, posting publicly about these kinds of workarounds is a bad idea. It’d be great to share them with the world, but the sooner Youtube finds out about them, the sooner they break. Keeping the recommendations to in-person or at least in private channels helps to maintain the obscurity that allows them to exist.
