  • A tale of two social platforms

  • Get rid of mods too. The whole fucking point was to have the community moderate with voting. Somehow it all turned into mods running things and it all went to shit

  • Maybe I need to log into web. I've been using boost but I don't see that

  • Oh yea, let's continue doing fucking nothing then. Things just work out

  • How do you access mods logs

  • Why don't developers spend a few hours a week working together to ruin the Salesforce image just to make an example of them to never do this.

  • A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet (39C3)

    Jump

  • To stop enshittification, we all need to chase away any attempt to capitalize on the internet and get back to the roots of preventing data scarcity. Anyone running an ad or promoting some product should be chased out. Their product stolen and copied and shared until these people know they're not welcome. It would have prevented all of the enshittification had pewdiepies and Joe Rogans and Mr beasts were treated as the time vampires they are. It's not just simple advertising that we could turn off. It turned into a massive machine that stole our data, built profiles, created digital addiction tools and tracked all our movements just to sell us things.

  • Mods aggressively delete them so you wouldn't. Moderation is out of control because it's essentially robbing us of seeing diversity of opinions.

  • Anti-Palestinian Billionaires Can Now Control What TikTok Users See

    Jump

  • What about in the opposite direction. Isn't AI a tool that can be used to create, analyze and research. Which is why I think it's pushed very hard for the left to alienate themselves from it. It gives anyone who embraced it a big advantage.

  • That's why quantity is important online. They can't suppress it all.

    It just surprises me that people put more effort trying to get AI to quote Hitler than they do trying to fight for something like this.

    Why is there this asymmetry of effort between the political factions.

  • Hey, do you guys want to organize and concentrate memes and content to push back against the growing group of nazis that spread by creating content and memes.

    No no no that type of organization is impossible without the funding that is on the right. It's silly.

  • Spotify Music Library Scraped by Pirate Activist Group

    Jump

  • We should stop pretending piracy is some fringe problem instead of a pressure valve. When artists and creators use the internet primarily to sell and self-promote, they’re still participating in the same system even if they’re not Facebook or Spotify. Scale doesn’t change the outcome.

    We can’t have the internet we claim to want and treat it like a digital busking space. Those two ideas don’t coexist. Once monetization enters, everything starts bending toward the same endgame, tracking, ads, artificial walls, data collection, subscriptions. It always converges there.

    Content creators are part of the enshittification problem. Piracy is a stopgap response to it. A way people push back against a system that turns sharing into commerce. It’s unfortunate, but it’s the result of trying to force a market model onto a space that was built for sharing ideas and collaboration, not sales.

  • Spotify Music Library Scraped by Pirate Activist Group

    Jump

  • I get why this feels personal, but I think there’s a deeper problem with the framing. The internet was never meant to be anyone’s marketplace. It was meant to be a place for people to share ideas and work freely, not a storefront.

    The moment we decided the internet should function like a sales platform, artificial scarcity became inevitable. That’s when art turned into “content,” and creativity got optimized for algorithms instead of people. Freedom and monetization can’t really coexist online the business model always wins.

  • Back in the day this just meant that people would mobilize and flood the platform with pro Palestinian content just to troll.

  • Why isn’t "Democrats would never get away with this" seen as a problem for the left?”

    Jump

  • I don't think people who aren't cheating get to compete at that level so they wouldn't get the chance to ask. They don't get the opportunity

  • Everyone is so close to grasping your unique vision!

    Jump

  • I agree with what you said about the work and effort part but why not just use the methods that are proven to work which are none of those things you mentioned?

  • Oh shit!

    This is exactly how the MAGA movement consolidated. Crazy to watch it on the left.

  • YSK that Stanford scientists recently examined what happens when people stop using social media. They found deactivating Facebook and Instagram improved users' emotional well-being and happiness

    Jump

  • Why wouldn't they? We all took ourselves offline. What other content would be left for them to be exposed to?

    Not engaging will also impact the algorithm since it's feeding off attention to sell advertising. If we all refuse to engage that will weigh it heavily towards the views of people left online who are spreading a different opinion which is to spread and engage with the online world. That's how they get their information across.

  • Only if you want to tell others like you to get off of it. This way people not like you have unfettered access to eyes an ears of younger generations who will eventually be in charge and have zero reference to any of the issues you care about but will know a tremendous number of views you oppose. That seems to be the pattern with a lot of us lately. Convincing each other to get offline. Big push for it. The future generation will be raised by TPUSA like we were all raised by school house rock
