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.
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.
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
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.
