This is just sad. How will this not get people sick and tired of it?
Lemmy is not malfunctioning like Reddit is. It is not reliant on a dogshit mobile app that constantly breaks down; it is not overrun by reposts; it has no excessive advertisements. And there is far less manufactured outrage and misinterpreted socialism on Lemmy. And that's not even getting into the fact that is is an app. Hooooooooly shit, I just hate apps on a smartphone as a maxim. That tiny fucking phone screen makes writing comprehensively, and citing sources, like trying to stack d10s using woolen gloves. It has all sorts of trinkets and rewards for browsing the damn app too (I suppose the admins know they have to goad you in), and any third-party apps trying to solve these problems were left without support. "No better" my fucking ass.
From what I've heard, Boeing weapons that don't get built are even safer!
Would this endanger national security? I was going to say so, but I'm not sure about the details.
Unless you shoot them first. Edit: please don't shoot anyone. This is not a call for violence
And the reason things are so bleak is because most people only have words to go off of, rather than actions.
Showing up to a protest is also an action. So is smashing someone's car. Do you think you can feed the hungry purely by posting thoughts on social media?
Why, though? His supporters will believe anything he says. Is something going to magically snap them out of their hypnosis? Will somebody actually say, "yeah, I think Trump, who raped a 13-year-old and can't spell out the truth for shit, is someone I want for president!"? I know she "defeated" him in the debate, but what will change?
Oh fuck, I forgot

I blame the attempt to make devices user-friendly. Convenience kills skill.
People have gotten sick and tired of r/pics having loads of political content, and while some candidates are better than others, many people are sick and tired of seeing "orange man bad" yet again. The people who were supposed to be propaganda targets immediately knew this was propaganda and the rampant election posts didn't make Harris more popular. If this plan is enacted, people will see the astroturfing straightaway, and more people will see Trump supporters as bothersome cultists than as freedom fighters. It doesn't help that, if pro-Trump people can brigade the sub, so can anti-Trump people, and the whole debacle will just get shut down.
