Extremist propaganda shouldn’t be “part of the deal”

Yeah I essentially agree.

There’s been tons of anti-American propaganda social media for at least eight years. The CCP and Kremlin realized they could divide Americans from within through social media.

Huh, I might join your instance

Nah, I just pissed off someone running a bot farm for the CCP/Kremlin and they’ve been going through downvoting almost everything I post.

Maybe they can help us out and take down Lemmygrad while they’re at it

What a quality shitpost. Slightly offensive, low effort, random unexplained reference, 21st century punchline.

these things all feel like they are being done cynically by dark forces that want to change the fabric of our society

At least some of it is from Kremlin and CCP shills and bots. They can’t compete with “the West” militarily, but they can get on social media and divide people.

Ooof! Ouch… oh hey actually I feel pretty great

They’re very dangerous to occupants and other people, emit unhealthy pollution, emit greenhouse gases, cause major stress with noise pollution, and have a huge environment impact when manufactured.

Their infrastructure destroys nature, ruins neighbors and public spaces, exacerbates wealth inequality, and prevents healthy urban density.

PT? Micro mobility/PEVs?

Yeah, everyone is acting like it’s over now but in reality we’re still incredibly vulnerable.

Unprecedented global population means unprecedented opportunities for dangerous mutations, and easy global travel means it can spread faster than any time in history.

I had at least three comments talking about Lemmy removed too. For all I know it was many more than that because I didn’t get any notice or explanation.

My take is that they’re censoring without even informing people because the fediverse is a real threat to them.

A sincere thank you for a fascinating, quality post in Technology instead of the usual Threads/Twitter/Reddit posts.
