I live in Devin nunes former district. One just south is kevin McCarthys.

“I don’t think transsexuals should be discriminated against, expect medical discrimination. Cus conspiracy theories.”

The advertising was an easy and obvious example. I set you up for a straw man but whatever. If you don’t understand the harmful effects social media has on mental health and how it’s different from other forms of media/content, I’m not going to hold your hand through that. The sophistication of engagement algorithms should be obvious. The purpose of a surgeons general warning would be to raise awareness of those specific mental health issues that can be aggravated by excessive social media use. Raising the awareness of an issue is step in the right direction. Fine to call it a band aid but there’s no need to shit on progress of any type.

Lol what? You’re going from comic book bans to covid microchips now. Idk you’re weird.

That is apples and oranges. Clicking through rabbit holes isn’t the result of an aggressive algorithm designed to prime you for products being advertised. The motivation for the content being hosted is the major issue and exploitation of younger people in service of that motivation.

I think you have a critical thinking issue.

“Probably”

Comparing decades old satan panic stuff with modern behavioral sciences is legit the dumbest thing I’ve read today. Congrats.

It’s not that I disagree with anything you said, except this. “If what hes saying is true then we probably shouldn’t spread this as gospel”

Why not? Fuck em. If John Q public knows who this guy is, it’s probably his connections to Kanye and Alex Jones. Maybe MTG. It’s up to the audience to scratch beneath the surface. If they do and they let people misrepresenting a nazi watching gay porn effect their opinion on fucking anything then John q public is a piece of shit desperate for both sides trash. If that’s the case, fuck em. That’s worst case scenario, best case scenario is more make up on all those fucking clowns.

That worked for me also. I like a lot of sports docs on YouTube. That triggered non stop Joe Rogan suggestions and ads for all kinds of right wing news trash.

Bro, I’ve tried. Mods do a good job on the instances putting up content. But I’m hoping to get my news from those instances. Outside of that I get my news from podcasts. Not really sharable content for this platform. I’ve had like 3 replies from about 20 comments and it’s rare for a post to reach double digit up votes. I’ll for sure water plants but I’m kind of over planting seeds. I mod a couple nsfw communities so I’m doing my part.

It will help more niche communities grow. I left reddit, generally don’t miss it. I also give zero shits about tech, programming and Linux. I am a sports fan though, big NBA fan. There’s just zero conversation on those instances. I would like to see the user base grow so I can engage some conversations about those interests. I sure as shit ain’t going outside and making friends lol

Hey, so I’d be down to mod on

https://lemmynsfw.com/c/tributeme

That would be my preference, also would likely be a contributing commenter. Mod doesn’t seem active but if it’s similar to the sub reddit I think I can handle it.

Also

That doesn’t seem like it has a mod.

I’m down to Mod a couple noticed an earlier comment where you said you’d compile a list. I’ve done some message board modding. I don’t have a lot of tech knowledge but assuming it’s only content modding and I can do it on mobile I’d be down to help.

“I have a feeling you dont know how musk or most of these billionaires have so much money. When he purchased twitter, he sold Tesla stock to get the required funds.”

Musk used money his father made from apartheid era south Africa to go to Canada so he can dodge mandatory military service. Then he started a company that was half of a good idea. He merged companies with another conservative ghoul named Peter Theil to form paypal and sold it. Then he invested in a bunch of green energy start ups to take advantage of Obama era policies to jump start the industry AKA welfare for the rich.

“He paid $11 billion in taxes on the sold shares. He is just playing the game with the rules he is given. But yeah, you are coming off as a hater.”

Musk paid a 25% tax rate on on 44 billion dollars… boo fucking hoo. You billionaire apologist dipshits are the most pathetic fucking dumb fucks I can imagine. Wipe Elons cum off your fucking chin and think of something more substantive than “people being haters” goofy bitch ass mother fucker.

Pointlessly hateful? LMAO.

My point is about the consolidation of wealth and the ultra rich hoarding that much wealth/power is bad for society.

I think Musk should have to had to pay so much in taxes he should worth, only, 50 billion dollars. If you call that “hate” you should learn about what hate actually is. Clown.

This is a really lame perspective you have. If Musk was a country he’d be the 50th wealthiest country in the world.

Wanting to see someone with that much power lose as much as of that power as possible is socially responsible imo. Trying to minimize the opinion of people who are pissed at him using his power to signal boost hate speech as “just because they don’t like him” is a really fucking empty headed dumb fuck analysis.
