I blame social media. Though not specific social medias like Facebook or twitter, but the general concept of social media. I think people in general are easily manipulated in a social level (not just Americans, but everybody). But social media allows this to happen en mass and personalized to every single person. With minimal effort.
It’s almost like social media was designed specifically to enable fascist agendas.
More like liedar! /s
Imagine when AI is automating the whole process. Including the phone call.
Oh, right, good point.
Yeah, it’s one of those “no bad press” kind of things. It’s bashing on AI, but Perplexity actually looks pretty good by comparison.
Is this an ad for Perplexity? I’ve never heard of it, and now I’m googling it. So effective ad if so.
Not that we should be looking for logic and reason from the bigots, but an executive order applies to the executive branch.
Maybe Keith Self needs to go back to elementary social studies to figure out which branch he is working for.
It’s happening. I mentioned in another thread that there’s a good severance community that helps me feel like I don’t need Reddit for a show for the first time.
Well, those things you love about Reddit have only been getting better on Lemmy as time goes on.
I think major Reddit news is absolutely relevant to the Lemmy community. If nothing else, it is a good reminder of what we want from our communities and why we are here and not there. In addition, it may lead to a surge in active users.
The Reddit ecosystem relies on engaged users to downvote bad content and report potentially violative content.
I love how they refer to their corporate profit method as the “Reddit Ecosystem”
They make it sound like this is the universally owned and managed ecosystem that we all are responsible for maintaining and we all equally benefit from. The corporate overlords decide what they want the ecosystems to be, the rules, the content, the algorithm… All to benefit their stock prices and bonuses.
But all of a sudden it’s the community’s responsibility for maintaining THEIR rules for THEIR profit? How about fuck you Reddit.
I know this doesn’t affect me as I am plenty happy being on Lemmy, but the audacity still pisses me off.
There’s an exponential amount of time between each panel. 1 hour, 5 hours, 2 days for the answer.
I’ve definitely come to understand there’s a lot of brands of anarchism. I don’t think my initial opinion about anarchism has changed much, though, but I understand there is much more nuance to it.
This sounds interesting, and not at all what I would have thought of as anarchy. It definitely requires solidarity among its people.
Only thing bad about groundhog’s day is you can’t die ever (unless you can beat the level of course).
Truman shore sounds kind of awful. Everything you experience is fake.
I gotcha. It just feels to me like there are so many opportunities for the capitalists to abuse this system for their own profit and power. People are easily manipulated, even when they think what they’re doing is for the good of the community.
Maybe the factory doesn’t sell, but it could still very much feed the capitalists through manipulation of the members of the council. My cynical view: It may not be immediate, but it will be inevitable.
Well, I don’t think a capitalist will call themselves a capitalist. I think they will have allies that get themselves appointed to the council and before we know it the factory is doing the bidding of the capitalists.
And yes, I am incredibly cynical (I blame the last 25 years), so I get that a less cynical perspective exists where this wouldn’t happen.
Is this a society without computers and other modern day electronics? Or do you think workers will be able to handle developing technology on their own?
My guess is there is an admin that knows where each contributor is from. And can approve or decline check in requests.
