One thing I like about Lemmy is that over on the Other Place, some eejit would have by now appeared in the comments section to say "but it's not real money, he can't actually spend it". As though the fact that the amounts involved are so massive that they'd literally break the whole market to exercise them, is anything other than an absolute abomination and very much the reason why we shouldn't tolerate it.

    It's refreshing. Detractors would call it an echo-chamber, but all I see is people who aren't deluded, simply acknowledging the obvious truth of this insanity.

    The thing that bothers me about the "echo chamber" argument is that most of what I'm witnessing on social media isn't opposing worldviews, it's moronic bullshit getting clicks for being controversial. "Both sides" has been abused too often by bad actors to drag the Overton Window over to where we're expected to listen to clearly bad faith garbage that shouldn't have ever be able to leave someone's kitchen.
