  • I believe, wholeheartedly, that governments pay people to astroturf reddit.

    They’ve gotten it down to a science at this point. Something I always notice now is people arguing against arguments that don’t exist. They’ll be like “I can’t believe people are saying x” when nobody is actually saying x.

    It’s that kind of manufactured outrage, the kind that makes people feel like they’re missing out, that causes them to pretend to understand what’s going on in order to fit in.

    It’s sad and disgusting, but I don’t even bother with reddit anymore. It’s too obvious that everyone there is either a shill or an idiot.

    Lemmy appears to have gotten all the high-quality posters that reddit used to be good for.


  • I dunno. This just seems like one of those stupid talking points that sounds clever on the surface but when you actually think about it, it’s dumb as hell.

    Like, are you really stupid enough to believe Hamas would sabotage any legitimate chance of getting Jews out of Israel because they prefer Gazans to be oppressed? Nah. They’d rather be in control of Israel.

    Unfortunately, the snowball effect has already taken hold, so those who can’t think for themselves will just parrot what you’re saying without second thought in order to fit in.
