  • What is shameful about loving Reddit? Honestly asking.

    For me: it engages in the same discourse shaping that legacy media employs to manufacture consent to please their investors.

    The most savvy media literate people have difficulty deciphering the unspoken truths from social media, including reddit, so there’s very little likelihood that the average person won’t be affected and your circumstances determine your views, so you too will be affected by someone like reddit’s manufactured discourse no matter how much you try.






  • It’s wild to me that liberals and leftists were both aware of the path that Weimar took towards facism and the liberals decided to use that knowledge to pressure the leftists to hold their nose to vote w them anyways (just as it happened in the Weimar) and the leftist refused (also just like what happened in the Weimar) and now we’re in this situation w trump.

    It makes me believe that; at some future state; the liberals will likewise believe that they can force the leftist to kowtow to their platform to the same disastrous results and it makes me wonder if the left wing of politics will permanently do this dance of the liberals perpetually trying to force the leftists into unwillingly accept their platform despite it not happening no matter how much they push for it and I also wonder if the liberals will ever learn this lesson as well of the lessons from 2016 and 2024 that they will never be able to pressure the leftists into accepting thier platform.

    The fact that the Democrats continue to insist that they lost this election because they went too woke makes me believe that this will happen at least one more time; assuming that there will be another time.

    that used to be a thing when i worked there (early 2000’s); we literally hired a guy who had no degree and his only experience was creating websites from scratch for the businesses that his rock climbing friends owned.

    i’m sure they’ve raised the barriers significantly since then.

    i’ve always approved everyone i’ve ever interviewed because i believe that it’s possible for anyone to learn how to do this kind of wok and with the anticipation that i will have to show them everything i know; but i’ve never had to, i’ve always been pleasantly surprised.

    i would approve this guy before the interview as over. lol

    people on lemmy are self sorting based on their views and it’s affecting the communities whose mods & admins actions don’t align with their views.

    i myself have withdrawn from all of the communities in the bigger instances like .world because of the prevalent and unchecked reddit style toxicity.
