this post makes me wish lemmy.world did the same thing
there’s a couples sites out there that will show you which instances are federating with each other and you can see a trend of lemmy instances effectively creating echo chambers with moderate viewpoint dominated instances driving nearly all of it.
if this trend continues, the fediverse will eventually go the same way that the other reddit diasporas went so i’m also looking for a new place; good luck fellow wanderer
i just left austin because it’s becoming an increasingly facist shithole because anyone with above room temperature iq in austin knows that the state will continue to do everything in its power to reign in austin so they leave; like i did.
the only gem in that place is houston and that is a much bigger target in the texas government’s eyes than austin ever was.
there are holdouts and they will continue to hold out; ineffectually and pointlessly struggling for the rest of their lives.
add arizona to that list
The Fediverse is undeniably very left leaning currently, which is surprising to me since you’d think the anti-censorship design on paper would appeal more to people on the right who are against big tech and censorship, but I guess not? It’s interesting.
american conservatives care more about denying rights and liberties than anything else as evidenced by their leaders and publicly shared platforms; so if you believe that censorship has anything to do w it, you’re not a conservative.
it doesnt have to be nsfw; women’s official nfl uniforms circa 2021 on male players would have improved the game dramatically. lol
yes, it’s the definition of privilege since most don’t have that privilege and i’ve recently become a member to that privileged class (for now atleast); which is how i can recognize it.
i also do software and i was in austin and left a couple of weeks ago because i’m not cishet nor white but still experienced enough bigotry (especially from gay texans) that it was impacting my psyche, so i had to leave and i feel sorry for whomever is like me but is stuck there because of something as silly as not having the opportunity to do software.
i act my wage and i double or triple it when i work somewhere i don’t like.
social contract was only a construct that the privileged push upon people like republicans push crt; gays, blacks, most women never agreed to it because i had no benefit to them, but where still forced into it with beatings, arrests, and/or having their livelihoods ruined for simply being what they were.
ime: red hat & centos dominate with ubuntu, debian, suse and amazon linux all a distant 2nd.
i also expect it to change given red hat’s recent decision to stop sharing their source.
i think that’s why the fediverse is doomed to perpetual obscurity. my reddit-refugee addictions have taught me that only reddit has the content that i like and that i need to learn how to appreciate stuff i don’t like to get my fix; i wonder how people get started on furry stuff. lol
googling it only provides slightly more information on bannon’s work history and has zero mention of any attempts to cater to incels; is there something in particular linking incels to that feedback loop?
i didn’t think you were being an ablist either and, since it pertains to me, i wanted to understand why the other person thought you were being an ablist.
incel also pertains to me because i’m convinced that if i were straight, it would perfectly describe me. however the name/title is clearly sourced from some sort of privileged condescension since it’s meant as an insult and i can’t apply to people like me in name only; do you have any links you can share so i can read up on that pipeline?
i’ve learned the hard way that judging people based on their appearance is thoroughly fucked up and anyone who depends on it is just as thoroughly fucked up.
i’m high functioning; so maybe that’s why i don’t understand how people get triggered by broad brush statements. what made you think that this statement was ablism instead of a simple broad brush?
i never saw the “you’ll probably like…” messages; but i saw them in others’ screenshots and it made me wonder why reddit’s algorithm(s) didn’t show it to me; i suspect it was because 99% of my subs were porn adjacent and they didn’t want to advertise that.
i find myself missing 99% of what i used to get out of social media and i’m forcing myself to see that as a good thing so that i can find more productive uses of my time; it’s crazy to learn that all of the content i’m addicted to is completely dominated by reddit and doesn’t exist anywhere else in the entirety of the world wide web.
if all kkk members were run out of all rural town; there would be no rural american anymore except for the new places they created
the content from those niche subs is next to impossible to find on my own so i don’t get to dabble anymore; but i saw losing it as a digital detox too.
i’ve been on the receiving end of his cunty-ness in person as a lowley tech support minion that he was forced to work with, as well as several other well known pioneers; i can tell through this thread that dessalines is an angel by comparison and i’ve never met them.
