At this stage the whole Lemmy project feels like a CIA experiment, part of some as-of-yet unknown group of experiments / operation given a vague name. All the content is on the extremist-side, enforces attitudes perfect to embolden class wars and young people (no doubt the majority of people here) aren’t worldly enough to know the difference. It’s full of AI-generated political memes and comments.
Where’s the trove of knowledge? The awesome positive hobbies? If it’s around, it’s all drown out by the manipulative noise.
This could be easily fixed in the coding of Lemmy, but… it hasn’t.
I’m becoming very di-senlightened by Lemmy, Let the abuse and downvotes ensue.
sounds like a skill issue to me, but then again i doubt any of those hobbyist communities spread across the fediverse are nearly as active as on reddit.
Also I don’t think inviting people (especially the young, most propaganda is probably taught in schools) in on the class war is a bad thing. Capitalists are the enemy of the people.
There should be no class war. A community that fosters it is not helping.
What should be and what is are two different things, and pretending like something doesn’t exist just because you don’t want itto exist is a detriment to you more than anything else.
Sure it should not but it sure is needed and does exist whether you engage in it or not.
Who doesn’t pay appropriate taxes?
Who helps the community?
Who destroys the climate in the pursuit of profit?
Who denies you healthcare/youth care/eldercare when you need it?
Who engages in wars in which they don’t fight the enemy?
Who can’t do anything about it?
Have you met Mr. Molotov?

There’s your problem, by denying the need you are helping the opressors.
Ok, problems not denied… So, everything’s fixed, right? The people are essentially powerless - politics aside - and arguing such things is moot and a distraction to a happy life.
Man, what a defeatist attitude. “If I can’t fix everything, why even bother to make small changes for the better.”
Edit: Oh, I see. This is a shitpost. Nice b8 m8, then. Ya got me.
You are correct, the people are essentially powerless, but “essentially” is doing quite a bit of heavy lifting there. You seem to be one of the “useful idiots”, so please shut your fucking mouth and go stick your head in the bush somewhere far away so you don’t get in the way of the rest of us.
Too busy going nowhere by your own words and also to remember your manners. I’m not easily offended so won’t be reporting this post as “omg, person swore at me, get him mods!”. You’re not the spokesperson of other people, no matter how the community makes you think you are. That’s radicalisation.
No war but class war.
