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.
