They got stomped so bad they even deleted their account over there.

To the libs: If you're gonna fuck around, know what you're talking about otherwise you're gonna get people jumping on your fuckin' head.

Censoring leftist ~~opinions~~ interests will be much harder.

We're way too dependent on words like "opinions" and "disagreements" which are much, much better replaced with words like "interests" and "disputes". This way, we can further eliminate the cultural phenomenon of debatebros talking people in circles.

Good take, though.

Most people wouldn't let the first person they stop on the street sift through their camera roll. They want their achievements, failures, and little life moments to be kept sacred. So after a decade of airing our most intimate moments in public, the pendulum is shifting back. People are more selective with their communities and are reverting back to an old-school way of interacting. It's hard to know how the change will affect the online atmosphere over the long term — some evidence suggests the shift will create a healthier digital experience, but it also risks further dividing people into like-minded echo chambers.

The collapsing of US state-affiliated social media platforms' hegemony is finally upon us. They use these platforms for war (psychological warfare more than anything) and cheating, just like every other channel of influence, and working class people have had enough of being fucked over and manipulated, as well as being enslaved to doom scrolling. I've been patiently waiting for over a decade for this. Now, finally, people are pivoting back to high quality discourse and relationship building. We're also increasingly seizing the means of communication (think Lemmy and other equivalents under the AGPLv3 license), which puts the control of culture firmly in our own hands.

Comrades, send me your energy!

sicko-radiant shares what communist energy I can muster

Very happy for you getting a date with a like-minded person. Please, get some rest when you can, though.

We all need our creative outlets. It's good for our esteem to make stuff we like, that isn't primarily intended to serve someone else.

I've made a couple sites too that I have saved for time capsule purposes, and I genuinely enjoy viewing them once in a great while.

Of course. Again, I feel ashamed for not catching that the first time around, and apologize.

Terribly sorry, updated to include it.

It's a pretty interesting little game, no doubt.

There's also https://vede.itch.io/the-communist-dogifesto, which I adore for the replayability, the lore, as well as the System Shock-like experience.
