To all you inside the US: you might want to look up how assault rifles’ can be modified to be automatic.
I have a feeling that if Trump wins, someone will do the nazi salute thing again, but maybe insert “hail god!” somewhere into it, and this time it’ll be done by someone way more mainstream…
I found your ballot box:
I noticed she not only have a fleshlight, but also a faint and very translucent navel.
that genie is not going back to the bottle
IDK, but the anti-GMO movement managed to mostly put back a genie into its bottle. We just need to fight harder.
I once did that, still was quite bad.
Humans can write it too, you know!
But then everything changed when the fire alarm community attacked.
Only the avatar can master all the alarm types, but when the wold needed him the most, he vanished. Years later he returned, and I believe he can finally save the world.
Centralized platforms are also prone to the same kind of attacks. Kiwifarms and especially its users’ offshoot Discord and Matrix chatrooms are good example for this. Hell, even 4chan was infamous for organizing troll campaigns, first just “4 teh lulz”, then people turned the site into their personal army.
Basically it is going the following way:
AI isn’t magic, no matter how much techbros try to humanize the technology because NeuRAl nEtWOrKs.
There’s a pretty good argument for that in a lot of other cases too, however those on the top doesn’t want it, or at least not in a sensible way, see the whole “UBI through stock exchange” and “Universal Basic Compute” fiasco.
Deal with them just like regular trolls. You shouldn’t be like the Muskrat cultists who think content moderation is useless and thus should be given up on. I understand, I suffered from activism burnout on the regular (one was right in the middle of an election campaign), but one should not give up easily.
No shit Sherlock, a civil organization investigating corruption might uncover corruption that could influence the elections!
Fediverse game devs and artists are much better.
Here’s the Mastodon account for my game engine is someone is interested: @[email protected]
I personally left Twitter, since it not only diminished my reach thanks to the implementation of Twitter Blue, but also was an increasingly toxic place (and it begin with being a toxic place in the first place, thanks to algorithms), which didn’t bring the best out of me.
While I agree, the issue is the very moment we become militant we get labeled as “terrorists”. The far-right just gets ignored.
If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and looks like a duck, then it’s…
A swan! It claims to be a swan, therefore it is a swan! Swans are beautiful, therefore if you’re against swans you’re a bad person! You see ducks everywhere and accuse everyone being a duck! The word “duck” lost its meaning. In fact, we defeated the ducks in 1945, therefore any “ducks” we might have today are just edgy teens cosplaying as such.
EDIT: If you ask me, I think conservatives are just “good cops” to the fascists “bad cops” (this gave me an idea for a potential video essay).
In fact, Zionism is built upon the antisemitic myth of “Jews and non-Jews cannot live together”.
A lot of troll accounts are semi-automated. They run a script that detects certain keywords, and posts premade replies to them (nowadays said premade replies are being finetuned with generative AI to look less uniform), also a human is watching over them to ensure both correct operation and to overtake in case of emergency.
Source: My father’s ex-girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend was (is) a paid online troll for Fidesz. They also had Discord (later Matrix if I recall) servers for organizing mass reports, downvotes, angry/haha react campaigns, often they also did some “private doxxing”.
That’s a single instance, they can be blocked and avoided. The FOSS community is way more resiliant to enshittification.
I prefer the Caesar Salad Dressing, does that mean I’m not only support authoritarianism, but also not a real anarchist?
Similar thing happened in my country, Hungary. We have a de facto one party system, where outsiders are allowed to have an opinion, nothing much else. Sometimes they have suspiciously too many ties to Fidesz, like Munkáspárt 2006 and Mi Hazánk Mozgalom. Corporations not being subservient to Fidesz are being harassed by law enforcement, the tax agency, and the media agency, only a few left as a way to show not everyone is with Fidesz, but often at the cost of them not getting any subsidies, etc. Meanwhile, Fidesz has clever ways to subvert even its own laws. They limit campaign spendings, but have at least 2 GONGOs pumping out ads for them.
Good luck, maybe the RNC won’t forbid anyone left of Mussolini from owning guns, or maybe you can just wait until the US implodes and Canada will run to your help instead of Russia and/or China.
