You guys do ban everybody. This place is worse than reddit.

Like you guys realize reddit was made popular by leftist who gravitate to it because the community controlled everything.

Mod abuse came much later when they went to sell ads and go public. Mods were needed to secretly control all the spaces and then put everything into sellable boxes.

Lemmy recreated these terrible parts of reddit and none of the original fun parts. You want a real leftist space get rid of the fucking bullshit mods. Expose them for what they are. Leave it to the community to control and get rid of these stupid snuff boxes where everything is sorted into boxes with no energy.

Good. Nobody should have we've capitalized on the internet. It wasn't a space to sell onlyfans and subscribe to comics about cats. Those people opened the door for every single capitalist who ruined every other space the ever existed. Turned it into a privacy hellscape that wants a picture of your asshole every time to want to sign up to your favorite artist weekly chance to sell you ads.

Fuck them

Burn it all to the ground. Steal everything. Share everything until people trying to capitalize online fuck off.

they just flaunt all this shit at us cuz theres nothing we actively do. they just laugh at us, look at howard nutlick.

No it has practically no impact. Back in the day it would. But user control means users could control how a website works. It meant we could reject ads or posts that were secretly selling us things or just political message that users controlled. Reddit and the other sites removed what it was originally for and left its dead corpse for us to feel like we're doing something.

These spaces are all mods. Mods determine what we see. Lemmy decided to implement the same corporate control the reddit evolved into rather than the more liberal/leftist origins that made it popular at the start.

Moderators are not normal people. They should have almost no say in anything. The only reason to give them so much control is if you're trying to create propaganda machine. Mods should only be there to remove illegal content and maybe protect against a brigade. Users take care of the rest. It's literally how many leftist want society to run. Yet for some reason we use this overseer type model where mods abuse power every day and we just ignore it like we're a police department. It's ok as long as it gets the job done right boys.

I appreciate the honesty. I have brought great shame to my ancestors

Why the hell are you guys looking at voting. It's a left over to placate users after they just went full overseer mode with our spaces. It's a digital key chain they dangle. It doesn't do anything

Yea really. You can search "couches fucking" and get the same results. It's yet another story that bots will post to keep you clicking for the hour. You will write "yea fuck Trump he's such a dick" then I guess up or down vote which are about as real as the tooth fairy but give a sense of something? I guess. Then you move on to the next story.

This lemmy place is built to keep you just engaged enough. It's not like 4chan or Facebook or even reddit where a culture is built, investigations and research are done on these things and keeps going day to day by generating new content.

Lemmy is a place to collect leftist and keep them occupied while the nazis convince your uncle that kids are shitting in cat litter and it's immigrants fault.

Look at how they built it. It's every corporate control reddit implemented for corporate control just ramped up to 11. Why would you all accept that? Leftist use to stand for something, it's just a vapid and dying culture and most civil action lately has been stuff cooked up by right wing groups to jingle keys like a modern cointelpro

They don't need to bury stories anymore. Leftist have retreated all social spaces to right wing groups. They have no network. Barely any meaningful presence. It's a digital age and the left somehow became luddite trying to convince people to meet in coffee shops.

It's fucking over. In my life I have never seen a more devastating choke. The left essentially controlled all digital spaces and even media. Then the first sign of confrontation where leftist had to "punch nazis" they all collectively folded and said "don't roll with pigs we're too good" it turned out the left had no fight in it.

Hey a crazy story you guys need to amplify quickly. So you're all off the corporate hellscape sites that everybody else is on. So what's the plan? Observe? Great job, let's go get a soda.
