No. Mods were born out of corporate and political interest to control mass media. Nothing more. Mods are there to convert digital spaces to align with their interest. They’re there to prevent people from actually forming another Egyptian spring, wiki leaks, anonymous or anything that could disrupt the current power structure.

Need to nuke mods all over. Go to 100% community ownership. Why the fuck any lefty accepts mods is beyond me.

I originally posted to inform and be informed. Then I noticed and learned how things work. It’s numbers. Content is king and the reason there are so many bots is to get leftist to run away from visible areas that normal people read. So then I started posting on any social media to fight against massive amounts of anti lgqtb or other culturally relevant issues so the right didn’t get to spread their bullshit uncontested. Anyone can see the right are succeeding globally everywhere. The internet is a new frontier and the window to seize and fight is only open so long.

I then found lemmy and thought this place could be a way for leftist to fight back against right wing capture. Instead it’s like just really disappointing. It’s just really a showcase of why the right have succeeded and how the left went from a dominate position to the most submissive. I stay here and post hoping one day maybe people will wake up. But I also come here to be reminded how easy it is to lose it all if you choose the wrong team.

It’s also a good way to see how these sites, users and mods implemented their strategies to turn these sites into the most generic corporate billboards.

Not sure but I have said that it’ll happen under Trump. It has to. The way things go lately this is just expected at this point

Gen-Z pre-purchase AAA games and hang out on r/Marvel salivating at the daily question some Intern cooked up for that day just so executives can mark “engagement UP” on a monthly teams call. Get fucking real. It’s the most corporate owned generation to exist.

Just look at the state of the internet now. Look at how it is built. There can be no room for creation and new. It’s all mods trying to copy and paste last weeks questions to keep numbers up. Step outside that and BAM you’re banned. Must keep the trains running.

All of this is to capture people and sell their attention to marketing teams to sell that weeks pokemon or action movie. It is so inherent in the way the internet is now that Moderators don’t even know that’s what they’re doing, let alone the users. Forums are not suppose to be like this. The internet was never suppose to be like this. You’re suppose to see a butthole every now and then. That’s how you know you are in an area they dont’ control.

I just had comments removed for saying there is a lot of Chinese propaganda and spamoflage on lemmy.

Nope I’m putting them on a pedestal. Get wrecked

It’s almost like we’re suppose to build and guard our communities and interest against tho… sorry I meant do nothing and complain.

But as doctors, was there no fight back against this. I don’t know how. But genuinely asking. Like if a plumbers knew some new law came in that endangered people and they just went with it, are they not responsible

Is that how a proper society works.

Yes

Wouldn’t that be evidence that this was poisoning the well

I am fairly certain this is the case.

I think they are. I think tech forums are essentially places to convince people to hate tech. Hate progress. Meanwhile other countries embrace these new technologies and develop, build and iterate.

Spamoflage

I’m starting to see that China may have a large presence on lemmy. It would make sense with the .ml groups. You can see a lot of pro China stuff here plus lemmy is a generator against things like AI which benefits China.
