I'd love for twitter or facebook to be irrelevant enough for politicians to eschew having a presence there.
Me too but why would they leave when all these commentators and influencers stick around? 90% of the posts here, from politicians to influencers, are tweets so any anti-establishment messaging is thick with irony.
-- especially so coming from lemmy.world :p
Yep, you're so right. Lemmy.world is definitely just as bad as Musk-owned Twitter.
It's worse and it mirrors the democrats/republicans dynamic. almost no one is under the illusion that either the republicans or twitter will let anti-establishment narratives go mainstream. but far too many people believe the democrats and lemmy.world will despite both having a history of doing the same things as the republicans and twitter do. that's what makes it so much worse: it captures progressives and cements the ratchet effect, which does far more damage than plain suppression.
Bit of a stretch, eh? Remind me what's so awful about lemmy.world.....defederating from hexbear?
we already covered that:
I'm seeing your comments just fine
The fake narrative of two different opposite ideologies (democrates vs conservatives)
In Reality, both are pure shit that only smells differently.
Echo chambers. I prefer forming my own opinions, rather than have an admin decide what I should see in my feed. Especially with lemmy as it is now, individuals can now choose to block an instance. I like to see the different narratives from all over, so I don't block anything. I guess it can make scrolling/commenting a bit less mentally relaxed, but I'm pretty ok with that
And hexbear users are actually pretty funny/wholesome, in their own way... just some different takes. People from .ml tend to vary widely, but I usually don't have a problem. Lemmygrad... ehhh, they've got some real "hot takes" that I don't engage with, I just observe
Is there a way to see all instances or most of Lemmy, hexbear or any instance, instead of the neoliberal cancer on /all.
Please help me
nearly all instances federate w lemmy.ml -- including hexbear -- since it's the lemmy creator's base instance that they use for development and troubleshooting issues w the admins/developers of other instances as well as other fediverse platforms.
Idk, I just take it all in and deal with it. I like the community of it all, bullshit or nah
I bounced from an instance that was federated with hexbear because of the edgelords signing every post with "death to America"
Can't take any of them seriously even if I don't disagree with half their takes
.world : slava ukranus
Lol, man the fucking .world .ml shit is so god damn stupid. Fuck that drama queen feud shit, it's tiresome. Grow the fuck up (not to you personally, I'm talking about the stupid feud in general... which .world kinda started by acting like children). But also damn, pay attention to their words, not their instance... who tf cares about .whatever is behind their username
Sorry, -end rant
Well duh.
Their words are fascist words,comment saying "zionism is (factually) fascism" gets removed.
Also it's them defederating and constantly complaining about .ml as is the case with this specimen in this thread.
fixed it for you.
the feud is centered about politics between leftists/liberals and started when many instances called for defederation w hexbear, lemmygrad, and lemmy.ml at rougly the same time.
fwiw: it seems to be par for course if you look at the history between both groups over the last few centuries. and yes, it is stupid but to expected by liberals so propagandized that they knee jerk react when something inevitably comes along to deflate the propaganda bubble.
No it's worse. On .world you get banned from communities for opposing mass murdering rapist Graham Platner. At least Elon doesn't.
Lol ok man, have fun at the Nazi bar.
