Why Comment. There's like 4 people here. Do you do this often?
200 likes. 40 comments. "4 people"
I think your discouraging comment is either written out of spite, or straight up discouraging propaganda.
Neither options are good, so go fuck yourself.
It's anger.
I went on Facebook earlier. I saw a post in a 'Lord of The Rings' group that shared a meme comparing orcs to immigrants. The whole joke was that the orc said "my son was born in the shire therefore he is a hobbit" because you know. Immigrants and refugees.
And then I saw a Bobs Burger group where the main post was the family holding up an anti Trans flag. This stuff is daily. The comments are much worse.
I see this everyday and I partially blame all of you here. So many of you here were the 'exodus' people. Convincing every liberal or leftist user to block and ban and remove ourselves from other areas online. Since then everything has become so much worse and even though responsibility is on the poster, I still hold so many of you responsible for quitting when you're needed the most.
I come here to lemmy to see if anything crazy good is happening and it isn't. Like 4chan launched whole ass investigations. A bunch of racist morons performed some of the greatest opsec in internet history. Lemmy is posting about beans and moths and I just don't know what to do beyond being mad at you all.
And I get it, touch grass. But that doesn't help when I log off and go out only to find that the hatred and toxicity from these major platforms is infecting the whole yard. There's no escape. And you people who are suppose to be the resistance can't be fucking bothered. You're like lulled into this weird quiet existence only to be rallied under the most useless civic action imaginable every 2 years.
I just don't know what to do other than be mad and angry.
We should be out there. Identifying these networks and the latest strategies being used to corrupt everything. We should be innovating and building protections with fediverse. Instead we got pro China moderation and censorship and bean memes. I don't know. It's just defeating.
I'm doing this, daily on reddit. Just copped a temp ban for using arctic-shift to identify and shame agitators. I try and get one to delete their account a day, whilst sharing the tools with others. I'm one person though. (Sorry to reply to you multiple times. You're the first person to reply to me and I'm still figuring out the layout of Lemmy)
I want you to know I consider myself an old-school leftist. I'm fucking angry. And I have an abundance of free time, so I channel it.
I do think a lot of people are waiting until November to decide their next move though. Will it be obviously rigged, or will it be possible to take him down using non-violent apparatus.

Why comment something like this when you can literally see how many subs there are on this community (85.8k by the way)?
Do you do this often? Show your idiocy, I mean...
You just blow in from Stupid Town?
