I haven't seen that. If you piss off the group mind here you pretty much move on. On real social media you have to worry that someone will just show up at your home.
I always get confused in this thought. So if govt bans twitter(hypothesis) and these people spread to other better places, will they improve or is it better to leave these vile beings among themselves to rot in their twitter or whatever.
I am okay with the group mind. YouTube kept suggesting Pragur and Epoch times to me.
It finally stopped when I told them in the report video that if I saw another suggestion for Epoch times I will physically go there and scream at them about their YouTube ads until I am dragged out of the building.
The problem is they took a healthy user base and injected hate speech into it. People thinking they need to preserve the space didn't get the message that they need to get out, so now elon is free to subjugate them. Now you have multiple entrenched sides that will erode at each other's goodwill until it blossoms into contempt and the cycle of human suffering continues.
At the same time other platforms can't thrive because they are overshadowed by the suffering machine.
There's a theory that part of the problem is that social media aggregates too many different people in one place. Our brains naturally create in groups and out groups, making conflict and toxicity inevitable.
Sounds dope, never heard of it. Looks like it’s a dating site though? Never used one of those and have had a forever partner before they got popular, so I’m not sure it’s for me.
…I’ve also never used Twitter so I have no idea lawl
Well that makes sense, after all, Nazi bars do tend to be hostile to members of any minority group and Twitter is the biggest Nazi bar on the internet.
It drives conflict to the point that neither side of the political torus can speak to each other in a civil manner. "If his forces are united, separate them." - sun tzu
I gotta say, I am pleasantly surprised by Lemmy. I almost never see anything but antifascist allies, and when I do those allies jump that motherfucker's shit.

I accidentally replied to someone else with this but I meant to ask it in the replies.
Mastodon is pretty great for queer people. Better than lemmy I would say
That's a bit of a weird thing to say if you ask me, as Lemmy and Mastodon is both just the fediverse and they are connected. So surely it just depends who/what you follow?
They are connected but in practice there is definitely a big separation between lemmy and mastodon.. you see mastodon posts on mastodon, lemmy posts on lemmy. yes its possible to view lemmy posts on mastodon but its fucking garbage integration, i have never seen a lemmy posts boosted on mastodon it just doesn't happen.. if I see a mastodon post here its in the form of a screen shot.. the communities are effectively separate
Meanwhile, Tumblr is (or was?) incredibly queer back when I used it. Where's the love?
Reddit should have got a mention, but you know who really wins? Good ol' Lemmy-- LGBTQ (especially T) representing here. Although that's cheating cause we have blahaj, haha (not like the Fediverse will ever get mentioned, lol)
Truth Social is just a way to get money to Trump. Scam/money laundering/bribing. With max a few million/year in revenue I wouldn't compare it to actual social media apps.
