And further alienate any actual people that might support them. They have to condemn political violence because it was an attack on their class, and their class solidarity overrides any political rivalry. But even my very liberal friend said “dang, it’s too bad they missed.” Idk what my Christian grandma feels about the shooting but when Trump got covid she did say he deserved it.
This is an A-Lister commie board, we have Ryan Gosling too!
Edit: whoops I thought this was a hexbear post but my point stands, less commie though
They are just pointing out that these phrases are used for that, which is why they are recognized as “thought-terminating cliches”, it doesn’t mean they are always used in such a way. You can be aware of manipulative language without being an anarchist or commie.
I mean I’m trying but I could always be more woke probably
We must make ISPs a public service owned by the people. Who can argue that internet isn’t essential to being a regular member of society? These companies rob us and use their monopolies to manipulate us.

Google Music did this back in the day, I lost versions of tracks that I couldn’t find anywhere again, infuriating.
Numerous places I’ve lived had contracts with Comcast so there was no option but them, and the speed is shit, maybe they needed to raise prices to pay for their forced monopolies.
“We can save millions in advertising, just get your friend Will to post about it, it will be great.”
From the reports I’ve heard by amateur youtubers, those dumb face thumbnails actually do get them more traction

It’s like combat, companies like this see it as necessary to take every protective step possible, they have an inferior product so manipulation is the only way to maintain their monopoly
Facebook and others actively promote harmful content because they know it drives interactions, I believe it’s possible to punish corps without making the internet overly policed.
To be fair they do say they “need to be” transparent, not that they were going to be :p
I’ve never noticed any defederation from my instance or drama aside from the main posts talking about it, and if you came here interested in a piracy community it’s good for that, lemmy.dbzer0.com. “Lemmy.World” seems to be where all the drama happens hah. I have only ever made one account, interact with several different instances without issue. I agree using several accounts would be annoying.
I have an android from 2018, it still works great and I can run adblock on firefox, eat shit apple!
There are crypto ads involved in the product though? Fuck that, even if it was default off
Wholesome to see people help, but the main feeling I get is revulsion that this person can have a wheelchair provided with insurance but can’t even get proper functionality without paying.
Ignorant of what?? The things I see with my eyes and ears in real life? I’m seriously baffled, what the fuck is your deal, I even said you were correct
This post isn’t even saying she is trans or that there was any connection to anything irl, just a way to point out how simple it should be to give someone respect. It’s also not a political agenda being supported, it’s basic decency.
And why tf does it matter which Trek was someone’s first? I wasn’t born in the 50s so I didn’t start with the original series. It’s been going on for decades, people can start wherever.
