Yea this is a trend with Lemmy and other left leaning spaces. Seems to be a push to convince the left to reject technology in so many new areas. It’s crazy to watch the left go from early adopters and being on the bleeding edge of things then shift to modern Luddites

So food. Food is the equivalent of food

Girls are perfect Boys are trouble though

Boo boys Yea girls!!

Good point about Canada. They flipped. Meaning the conservatives were in the lead by a lot. The only thing that stopped them was Trump fucking up. This is the same almost everywhere. The Lefts victory’s have not been because of their policy or engagement with the people. The left has been winning only when the right fuck up. Any other time the right has captured dominant positions in many key areas. Vice versa, the left are hobbling themselves at every turn while slowly dismantling themselves. I have no doubt Lemmy is targeted and manipulated by groups looking to convince the left to eat itself.

I didn’t realize abortion was left/right thing why do these people make it so political

Just goes to my point how oblivious many of you are to any of this.

Why the right has captured and engaged so much more of the population than you have. The left are finished.

So annoying when you jump in something already political to pretend you’re offended

Totally ethical. It’s the best.

In a time when content is king. It makes me so angry that the left was manipulated and played into hating AI. Look at you all. You can’t even see it. Lemmy is so oblivious to it.

My fucking 68 year old trump supporting dad is using it daily to get numbers and sources and generate memes he finds funny to share.

You people are clutching your pearls because Lemmy had like 6 accounts that shared every single doom and gloom article they could all day every day for the past year.

Leftist are cooked.

Why post this but hide the name

And that’s ok you know that. Seriously. Some people actually want to be the joke. It’s not mean or malicious it’s a funny sign shop. I just wish we could all understand it’s ok to be made fun of. Life is more tolerable and enjoyable when we can laugh at ourselves and often that only comes from jokes that people have been trying to sanitize or act offended over lately…

Like porn, it’s hard to define but makes it good but you know when you see it

Can we fucking get over the Pearl clutching on the left and just laugh. Especially with jokes like this. I grew up with the idea that the right were Puritans and somehow the left adopted this ugly tight ass unfunny world view and it sucks.

Can we on the left not enjoy a god damn camel toe and a free god damn coffee and a joke from time to time without the fucking peanut galleries moral objection

I don’t get how a company is losing this much in multiple countries yet is still operating?

Like if they can lose this much and still be operating and investments not tanking, would it follow that they can pay better wages and benefits?

How much of the public outcry against data collection has resulted in us getting an inferior product publicly.

The left has regressed so fucking much. The right will control things for a long time. They did it to themselves.

I would argue you marginalizing the left into a smaller group is pretty beneficial to the right and you might want to view it critically. Like if you were the right with a lot of money and effort in astro turfing and targeting the left online then maybe you have succumbed to something they may have pushed. How would you know either way?

What is the money doing? It does what we do for free. The algorithm favoured the right because they create content. It’s not a finger on the scale saying show people more right wing stuff. It’s the the right share and create content because they actively engage and participate online rather than sit in the sidelines. But the left wing causes and political parties see more donations than the right on average.

Democrats are able to raise more capital. Left leaning voters earn a higher Average income than right leaning. There’s money on the left we’re just less effective and more apathetic.

What is this? Highschool?

Give the right the eyes and ears to everyone sounds like a great idea while we sink into the corner

Yes I agree with what you’re saying. But the left has to adapt or its finished. For all the talk of intelligence and how dumb the right are goes out the window. That’s because even with the money and the power, the people on the right had enough awareness to know when to lean into something even if they didn’t agree and when to pull back. The left do not. People keep saying they don’t understand how people can ignore Trump’s dumb bullshit. It’s because they don’t actually like Trump. The left doing understand this. Trump is giving them victory after victory. It’s not about Nazi or fascism or any of that. It’s about winning. The left have placed to many barriers to winning that something basic like Gavin Newsom mocking Trump is seen as amazing. That should have been the approach 10 years ago. Instead people focused too much on calling him a racist directly. You have to show not tell.

So how do you promote the new platforms if we all left?

Nobody on the right stops to ask if people want them. I mean Reddit was pretty left leaning. Now it isn’t. So what does it matter if they want you there.

It takes 10% of a group to change the views of 100% of the group. The right knew this and strategically targeted smaller sub Reddit’s before moving to bigger ones. I called this out in 2015. You could see smaller local subs shift. Then those fed into the larger city ones and then eventually the larger ones like r/Canada saw big shifts. They did this everywhere. The left has never understood this tactic I don’t know why. It was so obvious from the start.
