It’s sad really. This post was the final straw for me. I’ll be unsubscribing. I saw the same thing happen dankmemes. Post after post of politically charged, right leaning nonsense. My tinfoil hat says it’s intentional to kill Lemmy, and honestly it’s working.
Yes, this post when interpreted as ironic, is making fun of socialism and CRT. Regardless it is leveraging oft used conservative boogeymen buzzwords for a joke. It dilutes the original use of the words, and whether or not intended, degrades their meaning. It’s a very common tactic of fascism and hard right actors. It’s exactly what Trump did when assuming the ‘fake news’ moniker and repurposing it to attack media. This entire site has been circling the drain for some time, and the downvotes just prove none of you value actual discussion.
If you read what I’m saying, the intent matters not. It’s the use sarcastically or not in a joking way that plays right into right leaning agenda. But please keep attacking me.
I understand that. You’re the first one to trust I have a point. Trolling from either side serves right wing agendas. It degrades the discussion. I know this is a meme thread, but this thread has been nonstop political garbage for about a month.
The downvotes only validate I’m right that this site is in the shitter. You just assume because the message is liberal, it doesn’t play into right leaning agendas.
Again, it’s their use in a joke that delivers the whole discussion around CRT into the shitter, enabling right wing agenda. They’re not out to win the argument, they’re out to muddy the waters.
There’s a universe of thing’s worth joking about, but this post just serves political agendas, mostly right wing ones, and isn’t funny. CRT has become such a punching bag it’s lost all meaning. I’ve had the experience of my (very different) field of study becoming a political football, and the end result was the field suffering for years afterwards. Those setbacks are due to the right wing of political discourse choosing to meme the subject and make it political. The very act of targeting it was the main transgression, but subsequent meming on both sides only dragged things down further.
I didn’t block you from making the joke. That’s censorship. I merely pointed out the problem in doing so and that I’m done with it. Take pepe, see how the right ran with that to the point it represents racism.
So I spoke up to try and explain to this group the pitfall of continuing the jokes on this particular subject. Likewise everyone should speak up at PTA meetings despite the flack. Not certain my work is being appreciated by the local memelords here.
Lemmy was already dying, just look at plots of active users since the Reddit API flap. It’s going down not up. The sooner it does, the sooner a stronger decentralized platform, or newer version of Lemmy, can take it’s place. It’s current iteration is a rickety Reddit clone that suffers from rolling defederation.
Sort of. I’m saying mocking only lowers the overall dialogue into the shitter, which doesn’t serve the purpose you think. It may make you feel morally superior, but does nothing to fix the issue, and arguably further entrenches the two sides.

Eshitification is a result of end stage capitalism. People are trying to extract their last bit of value before society goes tits up due to climate change.

The website doesn’t seem to be down, but glitched or something. I’m getting an http 400 error through my app. When you pull up the website in your browser, it pulls up the Lemmy regular homepage but with “Error” text. Maybe a misconfiguration somewhere?
I’m actually surprised no one has pointed out the design flaw in the logo. It looks like a close window x button on browsers, especially iOS Safari. I keep wanting to close out of the window by clicking on it instead of the smaller other x.

I’ve never questioned if someone was official on Reddit such as an AMA. The only people who benefit from this are content creators and corporations. It’s a money grab at best, and at worse a loss of privacy online.
Conversely, I’ve enjoyed having anonymity to speak my mind.
The old ways of the internet are being replaced by state surveillance and eshitification.
He’s a narcissist, just like Trump. Feeds off the nonstop attention, and does not care what damage is dealt to people he exhausts. It’ll only get worse the more you feed the troll.
This is true for corporations in general. They’re organized to maximize profits, unless regulated. Even if you’re pro-business, you’ll know that statement as true. Without realizing it, we’re currently in an Oppenheimer-like arms race with various state sponsored interests including tech corporations.
I like this device despite not having a use for it. It’s an interesting combination of tools and can see potential with penetration testing and the like. I’m curious what other people’s take is, especially if they’ve been hands on with it.
I know I’m going to be crucified on here, but with climate change ravaging the world, the number one thing people can do on a daily to help is stop eating beef. I’m not vegetarian, let alone vegan, and absolutely love food porn, but have decided to stop eating beef due to the carbon footprint and methane production. Please consider your actions through the lens of what’s happening in real time to the world and eat sustainably.
Thank you. I found it to show a data cloud scatter and no linear regression. Just because there’s a few near the origin, doesn’t mean you can connect a line to them and call it a day.
