Very fitting headline in a day and age where I'm constantly seeing people advocating for giving trump the Whitehouse and finishing the country off because anything less would be SuPpOrTiNg GeNoCiDe. As if the move to help Palestinians would be to elect Trump. These people are very stupid children, bots, or Russian paid actors. Impossible to know which.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Russian paid actors.

I got into that exact argument about Biden. Eventually I called the person a Putin puppet and got my post deleted by a Lemmy.world mod.

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

So, you got into an argument, turned to insults, and moderation kicked in. Sounds like everything is working OK.

Annnnd I was banned from politics on lemmy.world. this is actually kind of messed up. I don't think I said anything particularly offensive even. It seems like it was more about my message.

The "automod" just removed 5 of my comments for complete bullshit reasons, but it honestly does seem like they did it in response to the exact same issue -- I claimed someone is a russian actor. I'm now wondering who runs lemmy.world, and what exact agenda they have.

Despite it claiming "automod" there were human-written reasons, one of which was "Provide evidence of shilling or this is personal insult."

[-] MightBe@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

You do realize I read Lemmy right?

No, they were reported multiple times, and I removed them by hand, no bots were involved.

Like I said in the modlog, if you have actual evidence of botting, let's see it, otherwise, you are intentionally antagonizing people, and I can't let you do that.

Wow. It's so concerning.

[-] seahorse@midwest.social 16 points 2 years ago

Biden is assisting a genocide though. Will I vote for him in 2024? Most likely. I still fucking hate him though.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

I mean, that's fine. I only have a problem with people who will watch the world burn under the guise of principles

[-] seahorse@midwest.social 14 points 2 years ago

But if biden loses I'm going to blame HIM, not the voters. We all know how dangerous trump is. If biden and other mainstream dems actually believed it they'd be pushing boundaries like never before. But they're not. They're actually moving further right to try and appease "centrists" which is pretty much what the social democrats did in Germany in the 30s and we see how well that worked out. They should be promoting the organizing of militias in case trump supporters try to fuck around and seize power again if democracy really is on the line.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

It won't matter whose fault it is when democracy in the United States has been snuffed out.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Right, a semblance of it beats none of it

[-] seahorse@midwest.social 11 points 2 years ago

Hey man, tell it to biden. He's clearly not taking this seriously enough.

vote biden because trump bad

what about their resumes? what have either candidates done that has benefited your life enough directly that demands your vote?

please name one thing biden has done that your life now is better for

was it the cannabis reforms he promised and flip flopped on with prosecutor harris? was it the police reforms he promised? was it defending our human rights? was it the immigration policies he talked up that now mirror republican strategies? or is that stagnant paycheck after biden promised a higher minimum wage of $15 which is still too low due to the inflation?

forgot he can not do anything because republicans and republicans never can do anything either because democrats

through policies and laws crafted and put in place by politicians like biden, trump, obama, and the list goes on my right to vote was taken so not like have a say in this election anyways

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Not that those links would be the metric to go by when voting, but they do not support your position as Biden's stats are much better there.

I will not waste any more time on you so don't bother replying

Why am I unsurprised that its lemmy.world libs bringing the 'everyone I don't like is a russian bot' line to the fediverse.

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

What about unpaid russian actors?

Everyone's being funny about it, but the Dead Internet Theory is looking more and more rational, especially on Reddit. I really don't have any rational reason to expect that even the dancing TikTok people are real, never mind Reddit comments. I'm fairly certain that I am a living thing, but I have to question everyone else, with all due respect.

Man, Reddit's weird now. I think it's just responding to the cookies that it sets as I use it, but I don't log in and FF dumps cookies every time I close the browser for the night, so when I browse into r/All there's a new "hot" subreddit every time, and it's always kind of random. The usual suspects, like JusticeServed and all that fashy shit, those are kind of conspicuously absent, too.

I think Reddit's on their way out, not because of Lemmy, sorry, but because all the normies getting forced online in 2020 was the last hurrah, and the site is on the way down, finally, I can feel the traffic dropping. Everyone's either getting sucked into the jet engine of TikTok and Instagram or they're just using group chats and avoiding social media altogether.

The fascinating thing about modern Reddit is at long last the Americans all seem to have left, and suddenly the site feels like it belongs to the EU, and even South America a bit. So either it's about to rise with a new flame in this next decade or you should probably buy one share of the IPO as a keepsake and no more. I wonder how long it will take to delist.

My dude, I've spent the last couple years really upgrading my finance chops and now I just keep looking around at the variety of internet based things that seem to be winding down like a shitty old clock while going, hah! interest rates too high now! The current internet was only possible in the free money era.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 years ago

Are you in the EU yourself? Americans have not left reddit. Simply, Reddit has been agressively trying to expand into the EU and LATAM, by constantly pushing the local equivalent of English subreddits like me_irl. To the point where if you are in the EU and logged out you will maybe 10% English content and 90% content in your language.

Judging by where the quality of fully AI video on the AI image subs is at, we're probably still a few months out from that being easily possible.

[-] crsu@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Reddit is for cops. Its destruction was on purpose.

El/gin ai,rforce base is reddit's most addicted city in a scrubbed blog post. Here's a reddit post bragging about it to fellow a,irforce.

What do they do at El/gin? Don't click anything. They do many things but mostly oh, nothing. Nothing to see here.

They're just kidding, right? Right?

They wouldn't do anything malicious, would they?.

That can't be legal can it? Oh, thanks Obama.

It's a dead platform for cops, square haircuts, corporate fellatio, thugs of capital, jackboot goons, and well trained Jan 6 architects

I mean… welcome to the internet. It’s not just Reddit, but most social media, and some “news” sites.

I only drink it when I feel scared about something. Ask your grandma she will tell you it's true

How is this from the Onion!?!? I don’t know which is which anymore…

[-] Firefly7 7 points 2 years ago

It’s from The Hard Drive, which is another satire site. The sidebar for this community mentions that other satire sites are okay to post.

I wonder what Alan Turing would think of this.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 19 points 2 years ago

He'd be too busy shitposting on Tumblr as King of the Gay Pirates

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Gay Pirates have no king. Gay Pirates need no king.

Bots write better.

[-] GuitarAbuser@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

Akshually, Distinguishing between an AI-generated comment and a child's input can be challenging due to evolving language models. Both may exhibit simplicity, occasional errors, or innocence in expression. As technology progresses, this line blurs, prompting reflection on the nature of communication and the expanding capabilities of AI.

[-] megaLime@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

This feels like it was written by AI
