This feels like an oversimplification – let’s not forget that billionaires have poured untold sums of money into funding right-wing propaganda…and that virtually every major platform is owned and operated by billionaires with right-wing agendas.
Not only did Elon Musk spend billions on Twitter to make sure only voices he like get platformed, but Youtube has a well documented history of pushing more and more radical right-wing content to users, and Donald Trump just made sure that the one online place where left-wing voices were able to dominate (TikTok) was forced to be sold to his buddy, Larry Ellison.
But it is really simple. It’s a numbers game. Where their billions of investments fail is that they can’t ever replicate what we do naturally. If we were organized and actually engaged. I would say their billions are part of the reason we all are so passive. I have no doubt they infiltrated left wing spaces and said things like “uhhh it’s like wrestling pigs” and then promoting places like Lemmy. Left wing at one point did dominate these spaces but this current generation really only focuses on meeting in person twice a year in some city nobody cares about. Again, I wonder why we chose the most energy expensive methods
Whose here? Seriously. We’re the ones that are least found this place but what good is posting and hanging out here doing. It didn’t take off. Everybody else is on all the digital spaces we left. How do you think that your argument disproves what I said. Hell there aren’t even places here on Lemmy to post half the stuff we should be doing. We’ve been led to a backroom away from where things are actually happening
Our here! That’s why we’re using the fediverse - because it’s p2p. I’m a crypto bro; losing for years before it catches on is fine by me if I prefer the actual software/platform.
Whoops I just said Luigi Mangione by accident! Maybe I should’ve self-censored for some algorithm.
Meanwhile Republican representatives are calling for the hanging of their colleagues and crickets is all we can hear
The left abandoned any digital space. How’d do you expect people to even be aware about these differences if we all choose to not communicate

I assume anybody making such wild divisive statements is a Russian troll, tread with Care

Bro what are you even talking about
You’re on a left leaning digital space, dingus. Go fuck off to corporate social media if that’s what you’re into.
You only need the first sentence.
The second is the cherry on the top, it ties the first part together nicely.

What?
Is this complicated to you?
