Here I’m going to criticize the right real quick.

The right is so boring. Jeeze. Always hysterical. They don’t like information that is rooted fact. So culturally hitlerist.

“The left is boring”

Damn, imagine picking a side based on your need to be entertained.

The way I allways think about it when someone talks about politics being boring.

I compare it to a nuclear powerplant.

I don’t want to live next to an exciting nuclear powerplant, if I had to live next to a nuclear powerplant, I want it to be as boring and as dull as possible.

Same with politics, I don’t want an exciting government, I want a boring and predictable government.

Good job reading only the first five words of a paragrah.

Edit: Well I’m a dumbass who got drunk and mixed up left and right. Oops.

They are boring because they do the same thing over and over again.

Same old fascist story. Won’t change for the better.

“They are completely uninterested in information that counters their views”

Oh, the irony.

Reddit is not our friend. But I guess us Lemmies already knew that.

But Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok are not our friend either. We need to consider the current social media landscape as right wing moving forward especially as more media moguls bow to Trump.

We have to accept that the ones weilding all the power right now are accelerationists themselves. They want the government to fail and they want to install their own. Unsurprisingly, they also own all the tech companies you just listed.

  1. Those are amateur numbers. The conservative sub has never been able to get upvoted posts even close to the top upvoted daily posts on Reddit.

  2. Most of us are here because it’s become clear to us that Reddit is quickly devolving. 3rd party apps banned. Sub mods with enough power to get your entire account banned site-wide. Subs that auto-ban you simply for commenting in other subs they don’t like. A new block system that changed to block your replies entirely, instead of just preventing the blocker from seeing your replies, so you cannot correct anyone’s misinformation for others to see. And the propaganda and misinformation is simply off the charts.

Reddit is becoming a social media cesspool like so many others before it. Time to jump ship.

i noticed i cant downvote on main AI instances anymore recently.

If all you ever did was to downvote content, maybe the mods did indeed ban you. We had a discussion recently on !fedigrow@lemm.ee on what to do in such situations.

I never say anything, never comment.

Seems like it

Bans don’t prevent your votes from counting, unless things have changed in the past year and a bit.

Why not just block the pervasive communities or instances? I get pretty annoyed with the AI content too, but it feels so much easier/satisfying to block the comms and know I’ll never see them again lol

It’s very strange to see that subreddit on the front page every day since the election.

Before it would only hit once in a blue moon. It’s too bad reddit did away with the up/downvote count a long time ago. To think you could actually get the real score on reddit. Now I have a feeling their algorithm is promoting certain posts like this one.

But that’s why we are on Lemmy/pixelfed/etc.

Maybe it’s a good thing because it might signal left leaning people leaving but I think it’s more likely they are seeing artificially boosted.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
