It was bots that set a tone and pushed arguments that people adopted and used against you

Is your goal to be truthful or not labeled a terrorist and put into a camp. Take your pick. Truth is subjective.

Everybody is susceptible to manipulation. Are you crazy. Who do you think you are. It’s basic shit here. You need to push a singular message through repetition and people adopt it every time. The left are so ignorant to basics which is why everybody and their grandma knows about cat litter boxes rather than the arguments against it. This era of leftist are absolutely outclassed by a mile.

They 100% are. There’s no doubt

Right, that’s what I’m saying. Bots targeted leftist and scared them away. That let their views spread rapidly. Now we all have to listen to the bots everywhere because the average voter now has adopted those same views as the bots. It’s only getting worse. We all did it. We took short term advantage over long term pains

The left suppressed themselves. Algorithms can only do so much. Quantity was required and we all didn’t bother. It was too much work.

Cool, it’s super important to be aware how getting punched will affect you while getting punched. Just don’t punch back because that isn’t what we’re about. In the end we win somehow. Maybe they’ll break their first on our head I dunno.

Yea sure the left are morally superior obviously. Not weak and ineffective. Morally superior

Yea of course, that’s what all the headlines were shared kept trying us everyday multiple times a day. They told us they would take our jobs, they’d assault our women and children, they threatened our way of life. Familiar

It 100% is perfect for astroturf. It’s the perfect size for it. Large population need more money and effort to afford astroturf. Lemmy is the right amount then you let the Lemmy users generate more content for you.

We all saw this with Reddit. They always started with smaller city subs before moving to bigger ones. Always

They sure as fuck act like it

No it isn’t. The point isn’t that they themselves need to know too. It’s the voters that need to know. The people who come online to view cats after a hard day of PowerPoint and shoveling dirt. They get a small window to see this stuff. They almost always see something about some purple hair crazy leftist yelling about how they hate people who shovel dirt or use PowerPoint.

Whose making fun of them? Leftist aren’t anywhere on any platforms of any significance anymore. They can get away with whatever they like because the average person isn’t even aware who any of these people are. Let alone the dumb stuff they say. It’s not the Republicans or right wings job to spread awareness of their fuck ups. It’s the job of people on the left. But people on the left choose to remove themselves from majority of social media sites. I don’t even know what’s the point of sharing this here. Like everyday are we just going to say “oh Jesus they’re crazy” this stuff should be all over Facebook and Reddit and x and truth social. Not just on one Lemmy instance seen by 6000 people

Ok, so why do they utilize these tools and the left cries about it.

I’ve said this for a while. The hate of AI on lemmy was encouraged by Astro turfing methods. This way leftist who usually are at the cutting edge of things instead knee cap themselves on a technology that acts as a force multiplayer. They will use this and advance. We will bitch and moan. The end result will be that they gain more and we don’t. So you can be upset and you can cry and hate this or me for pointing this out. That will never change the outcome. Your feelings don’t matter. What matters is outcomes right now. It matters what will get people to vote when it’s time. if you concede tools that help you reach eyes and ears of voters, be ready for consequences.

Ok so what prevents everyone in the apartment doing this with a “cousin”. If you’re stuffing more people into the building then costs go up. Maintenance isn’t free.

Who cares. You softer than butter? You’ll survive

I think they have. They’re the highest paid and most well known. That’s what defines an era unfortunately. It’s what defines status quo

Framing it as an absolute is wrong. Never said nobody is. But a significant number of users here have purged all other social media. That was the Exodus

They were funded by these large groups and that isn’t talked about enough. It wasn’t just SA blood money they chased. They took it from hertiage foudation and other conservative groups. Most probably didn’t even realize they were doing it. They’d just get booked through agents. It just happened that these agents were working with groups who probably paid for personality profiles of the lamest comedians who could benefit their cause if they were actually popular.

How? You’re wrong entirely. It’s a numbers game. Always has been. Their algorithm only tries to suppress it. It can’t stop it. Right now the architecture works in our favor it just takes numbers. Which is why they invested so much in making leftist retreat and delete their accounts. It’s why you said what you just said. They don’t want you showing up with numbers like we use to. This is a game of repetition. People are influenced and change opinion only when they are faced with an overwhelming number of that one opinion every day. So they convinced us to remove ourselves and not fight back.
