lol, I never said that. You can say whatever the hell you want and I couldn’t care less. But expressing an alternate opinion on Lemmy does come with most people shunning you and calling you a bootlicker, which from what I’ve seen only discourages diversification. But I guess that’s a good thing for you guys? Haha
Naw lemmy for the most part is pretty cool. If you’re getting called out for being a bootlicker by a bunch of replies, it probably means you are one. Which you are, btw.
Thats not right. Just because i think lemmy is cool doesnt mean its because my opinions align well. In fact i talk a lot of dumb shit and get down voted all the time. Im actually one of the more drunk assholes who post on here.
You: I wish I were free to have an independent opinion…
Them: Your “freedom” is the right to stfu and agree with what I say…
Like, [email protected] exists if people want to chat about overthrowing stuff. “Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting… [etc.]”. Meanwhile, Rule #1 of [email protected] states “Be Respectful”, and Rule #5 is “No Enciting Harassment” so… I guess mods shouldn’t follow the rules then, b/c facts don’t matter?
Then they will get mad that people choose the bear (Reddit) over the man (bEcAuSe We’Re SuCh NiCe PeOpLe ThO).
I have noticed the irony in most of these, yes. And if mods do enforce the rules as they should (like the .world mods) they get criticized. There’s no winning, haha
These “alternative fact” tactics WORK! Or else people would not bother with them. The Information Age is over, now we have entered the Disinformation Era, where it is much harder to distinguish truth from fiction.
See the entire series of Innuendo Studios bc we’re going to be seeing those approaches brushed off and re-used in this next phase.
Two instances I know of that are fighting back are PieFed and dubvee.org.
Says the guy who agrees people shouldn’t post their opinions about the hero who stopped the mass murdering CEO.

As I said, in my very first sentence. So… good?
Case in point. Lemmy is pretty cool if your opinions align with theirs.

Blocks and filters make it much better.
I agree, it’s more tolerable.
New users won’t know how to do that… but yes.
