Oh there's plenty of propaganda here, pretty extreme as well...
There can't be propaganda if everyone agrees with me! I think we're in good shape!
It usually gets buried in downvotes tho, maniacs are everywhere..
Never doubt your ability to be influenced by propaganda. The technique that broke the internet in 2015, lying and then confirming the lie more convincingly with a second account, is still very successful today.
confirms convincingly
Oh, well, it might seem like it for you, on lemmy.world. My instance didn't defederate a single other instance, and I can tell you there's plenty.
Uh no. Lemmy is very much a groupthink entity. If you don’t agree with the hive, you’re berated and downvoted into oblivion.
If you think there's no propaganda on lemmy then I have news for you.
And fake internet points.
And I'm sure top men are working on monetization.
I've already seen plenty of posts and comments that look suspiciously product-placementy.
You look like you like rigatoni. Perhaps you'd be interested in trying SmellFresh Fabric softener. It helps keep your knees bent while you use the tobacco masher.
I see propaganda all over the place on here.
Posts like this are it, even. Hurrdurr we're so much better circlejerk is grossing me out.
Yeah, and it's people arguing about cars, Trump, rich people, work, Linux distros, not pooping, and communism.
We need memes, Spiderman memes
Bring me funny pictures of Spider-Man!
Great post. I give you my fake internet point up arrow.
I'll have you know that the fake internet points are still here and I will continue to use them to determine my worth in the eyes of my peers.
Make the internet nerd again
There is plenty of propaganda on lemmy. You just have to realize you will always be fed propaganda and understand there is propaganda on each side of every issue...
The sheer amount of pro palestinian / pro hamas content around here...
That is two very different things. One is a terrorist group, the other are just humans trying to live their lives in safety. Same with Israel. The people are humans trying to live their lives in safety, but Netenyahu is incredibly corrupt and reports show that he is secretly propping up Hamas.
I liked the fake internet points, but it definitely leads to karma whoring. So I'll do without.
You could create a plug in that states your and everybody's total karma. Karma is one of the worst ideas on the internet. A tool to enforce conformity and obedience
Lemmy is just as much an information warfare platform as anything on Reddit. The Israel/Hamas coverage has confirmed that pretty conclusively.
I like the absence of cumulative fake internet points. I do think it lends a healthier perspective to the community
Speaking of monetization and propaganda, for your consideration, "Barbie", now available on Blu-Ray and streaming services everywhere!
Please give me an affiliate link! I need my dayly dose of trackers!
Usenet and IRC were the good ole times.
00s internet before corporations colonized it was beautiful. I'm deeply sad that it's gone but thankful that I got to participate.
It's pretty cool, even though it not even 1% of the size of the big social media monopolists
Perhaps because it’s not
This might be a hot take here, but I'd be open to instances running a limited number of ads with minimal tracking to generate enough revenue to keep the instance afloat.
It's why I did use the official Reddit app at first when I started using Reddit. They can't bleed money forever. But when they kept making the app worse and worse and worse that's when I switched to third party apps. And after they killed those, I didn't have any sympathy for Reddit because I was sick of their continued greed.
Who's Line is it Anyway had the right idea, the rules are made up and the points don't matter.
