The people at the bottom don’t see it because their media stream is wholly owned by the elites. The elites don’t care about seeming like hypocrites as long as they can grab power and use it to enrich themselves or enact their fascist policies.

Kirk on the last South Park episode:

“We as conservatives have thick skin, not thin skin, and you can make fun of us and it doesn’t matter.”

I guess he didn’t know his audience.

The right-wing mediasphere is in a frenzy equating anyone talking bad about Kirk with ‘supporting political violence’. They’re doxing people, calling their jobs to get them fired, etc.

This is just more of the same kind of bullying.

You can say that we need to kill homeless people on Fox News but you can’t claim that Republicans are pro-violence without being doxxed, harassed and canceled.

It is illegal, if you violate the laws then people with guns show up and lock you in a cage where you can’t do the illegal thing.

Or, if you can’t read, Veritasium did a video: https://youtu.be/GVsUOuSjvcg

Yeah, Nexstar canceled Kimmel for calling this behavior out but still carries Fox

Can’t risk offending the boy king now can we?

Next up, cards with RTX 6090 performance for $150 on Temu.

That’s why the meme went away and 18th century mutinies happened.

One can’t help but point out that there were no World Wars before sea shanties, and now there are two (soon, 3).

It’s social media, people only react to the headlines… they don’t educate themselves on the issue because that would interfere with them generating the next hot take.

I think it’s a pointless change, it’s not too difficult to create multiple identities if you wanted to moderate multiple subreddits. The actors trying to control subreddit moderation for commercial or political purposes will not be slowed down by the requirement that they maintain multiple identities.

If they wanted to ‘fix’ the comment toxicity problem, they could require x active moderators per active user. If it goes above that then non-subscribers can’t comment. The rules don’t mean much if there are 10,000 people commenting on each of 3 posts and there is 1 moderator who’s afk and checking the report queue a few time per day.

Also, if you notice from most of Lemmy, having a smaller community creates social pressure for people to behave better. Once it gets to the point where you never see the same person twice people think they can behave badly because nobody knows them.

That’s the premium tour, you can get a ticket and a memorial Presidential Pardon by donating $500,000 to your local senator’s non-profit, who will make sure it makes it to the big man himself.

What a ripoff.

Oh, there’s a Spotx for Windows too. There ya go, anybody using Spotify free who doesn’t want to buy into the tiering enshittification go patch your Spotify client. No ads, pick your own tracks, like Spotify used to be when it was a new and a good value for the service.

I’m just too lazy to find a music private tracker and setup Lidarr, I’ll do that eventually and then just stream through Jellyfin like one of the cool kids.

I haven’t used Spotify, until recently, since it was first released. Its big value over Pandora was that it let you choose what to listen to…when did that change?

I’m using spotx on Linux so I don’t get ads, can search individual songs, etc. I thought the free tier was just ad supported, I didn’t realize that they didn’t let you pick what you wanted to listen to.

There’s like 3 rendering engines. Not everything can be described with a tier list.

How can the AP make such a basic mistake as calling Internet access ‘Wi-Fi’?

The Taliban didn’t ban Wi-Fi, they banned fiber optic internet connections. People can run Wi-Fi networks all day.

Nothing to see here, just the government abridging the freedom of speech.

The only amendment they seem to care about is the 2nd, and only when it isn’t minorities arming themselves

There is way too much money on the side of spreading disinformation to know much of what is true. The Groyper angle is possible, but the evidence is thin at best. It doesn’t take much for people to ignore the scarcity of evidence if the story sounds better to them.

I just meant that online groups contains all kinds of people, and there is no reason to believe that that particular group is free of radical or violent individuals.
