Trying to prep myself for when they foxify all social media platforms.
Edit: you all better be careful saying you don’t see any of it. Leon might catch wind.
If you learn how to curate your feed, it won’t be an issue.
I don’t see any of it really, my feed is all gay stuff lol
I’m still pissed at the way Reddit was celebrating Musk’s takeover, as if it was some big loss to him. Oh boy, a billionaire lost some money that he would have wiped his ass with, this is great as long as the fascist doesn’t turn the biggest social media platform into a fascist mouthpiece!
funnily enough, my twitter feed doesn’t have any conservative media.
it is full of gay bara scalie porn, though.
Mine with a daily year progress, A high amount of suggested content (booo) and some random stuff.
I keep it only around for thr aformentioned daily yeer progress tweets.For me it’s Russian invasion of Ukraine. With a few local politicians doing stupid things mixed in.
Just use it for the porn. Occasionally will click on a trending tweet and immediately get bombarded with tons of Russian propaganda. “Ukraine are Nazis” “America first!” “Look at this poor starving (white) american child, Biden just approved 60 billion to Ukraine!”
All shit like that, it focuses very strongly on what Russia wants Americans to believe, in my experience.
It’s wild to me that so many people trust Elon with their porn viewing habits 👀
Don’t forget endless AI generated images that morons just eat up
Gross
Not the pron of course
¯_ (ツ) _/¯
There’s no value otherwise
That’s the neat part, I’m not.
I like to clown on nazis
Especially when they’re shitting bricks in the reply section of a post from either Mark Hamill or Stephen King
Edit: We need a collab
They would need to be force feeding me conservative content in order for me to be able to answer the question. They’re not and never have been. Same applies to ads.
I tell some people to KYS just so the website forces me into a ban for 6 days.
Its nice.
edit: The people I say this to are genuinely scum of the earth. Pedos, People that share animal abuse vids, and people that disrespect the current situation surrounding school shootings.
You mean you tell them to KYS right?
Yes. Im not doing it out of pure rudeness, It’s all towards people who either openly will share Pedophilic/Animal abuse content or people that will mock/turn school shootings into some kind of conspiracy theory. Those people fucking sicken me.
Sounds like a healthy use of your time
Pot, kettle
Edit I’m a dumb dumb and used the wrong phrase.
I mean Lemmy is social media just like Twitter, and is not free from the risk of political “forcing”
So I meant it like Twitter, Lemmy. But me dumb
A forum is social media? I don’t know any motherfucker here.
Absolutely, in so much as posts are made by people with the intention of it being seen, and possibly swaying people to an idea.
Anonymity does not change this. It’s not like people know everyone they see a post for on Twitter either
Edit aside from my using the wrong phrase, it’s funny that folks think Lemmy is special
I’m forcing conservative media on you?
Lemmy, and other political media.
I guess the phrase is wrong. I’ll edit my comment saying I’m a dumb dumb for using the wrong phrase
My husband stayed on there. Luckily, it’s just for the porn.
So like, lots of trans stuff? (jokingsortof)
I freaking wish! Then at least I’d have someone to fawn over F1nnster with :(
F1nnster the W1nnster
Based
Sounds like he gets off on giving Elon traffic, gross.
You know you can just… stop visiting all social media sites right? Its not easy but its very doable. Ive mostly done it (significantly reduced to almost nothing).
We are on social media right now?
Yeah, but lemmy is awesome
Touché @FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io
You can’t argue with that logic.
You can, but you’d be wrong.
I’m on Mbin, but I don’t disagree with you: Lemmy is awesome!
Mbin is awesome too!
Again, I have to agree.
mbin gang!
Sometimes this feels like antisocial media.
It’s pretty much just a forum with voting.
That’s what blocking is for:-)
Is that what a block party is? I’ve heard legends of them.
Yes they is precisely it. Not to be confused with a Lego party (of blocks), or a Minecraft blocky party.
I said I reduced mine, not eliminated.
Fair enough. Fediverse is just better anyways IMO, barely counts as social media lol
Lemmy isn’t social media. If you’re defining forums as social media then literally and comment section on any website, including blogs and news sites somehow become social media. I don’t know how people started thinking forums are social media but it’s just plain incorrect.
Forums and comments sections are 100% social media, you are mistaken there. I guess we’ll just have to argue back and forth ad nauseam or something
What an insane take.
retort
I’m just here on lemmy. I’ve been lurking reddit just to see more breaking news but that will stop come novemeber.
Why November? Is something happening?
Finally, the End of all things.
Should we tell him?
By all means. Full us in!
I was just joking. I habitually check reddit hoping Trump sits on his own balls or something. Will continue until the election.
I won’t even click on Twitter links, let alone actively visit. You should do the same.
I recently had to login in to update to a new 2FA app and oh my was it a wasteland. No one I had followed was still on it. And I mean that after scrolling for 5 minutes. It was just terrible.
I mean, if they left it, possibly went to Mastodon, that sounds wonderful to me:-).
It’s not perfect, but Mastidon is starting to pass the tipping point for content.
Not on Twitter but lol, what a leading question
