When you go so far right the grifters can’t even use you to make money anymore.

Always expect loss when the joke isn’t obvious

The hubris one must have to believe they alone have interpreted nature and understood it’s will and order.

Then, to enforce it.

$70 price point for entry, microtransactions for stupid shit, and launches with severe technical issues.

I’m so sick of your shit Capcom.

I don’t disagree with you but I think that might be a reach for this one.

Green is literally used to accent villians in Disney movies. Nothing means anything anymore.

Defunded Donald

This is it. This is where Republicans turn on the wealthy and we finally start taxing them.

Please let this be it.

Always something about radicals and their need to point out “Ur triggered”

Fuck it’s almost like they promote things that have high engagement and rage and fear happen to be our most reactive emotions.

Could you imagine? A coincidence without a malicious conspiracy??

I doubt you could engineer a plug into your own asshole but sure, I’ll take your word that you’re not just lying and have expert knowledge on this field yet still refused to engage with the point to sling insults instead.

As neutral platforms that will as readily push cat pictures as often it will far right extremism and the only difference is how much the user personally engages with it?

Whatever you say, CopHater69. You’re definitely not extremely childish and radical.

No such thing as neutral space

it may not be intentional, but

They can suggest similar [communities] so it can’t be neutral

My guy, what? If all you did was look at cat pictures you’d get communities to share fucking cat pictures. These sites aren’t to blame for “radicalizing” people into sharing cat pictures any more than they are to actually harmful communities. By your logic, lemmy can also radicalize people. I see anarchist bullshit all the time, had to block those communities and curate my own experience. I took responsibility and instead of engaging with every post that pissed me off, removed that content or avoided it. Should the instance I’m on be responsible for not defederating radical instances? Should these communities be made to pay for radicalizing others?

Fuck no. People are not victims because of the content they’re exposed to, they choose to allow themselves to become radical. This isn’t a “I woke up and I really think Hitler had a point.” situation, it’s a gradual decline that isn’t going to be fixed by censoring or obscuring extreme content. Companies already try to deal with the flagrant forms of it but holding them to account for all of it is truly and completely stupid.

Nobody should be responsible because cat pictures radicalized you into becoming a furry. That’s on you. The content changed you and the platform suggesting that content is not malicious nor should it be held to account for that.

biggest cultural industry at the moment

I wish you guys would stop making me defend corporations. Doesn’t matter how big they are, doesn’t matter their influence, claiming that they are responsible for someone breaking the law because someone else wrote something that set them off and they, as overlords, didn’t swoop in to stop it is batshit.

Since you don’t like those comparisons, I’ll do one better. This is akin to a man shoving someone over a railing and trying to hold the landowners responsible for not having built a taller railing or more gradual drop.

You completely fucking ignore the fact someone used what would otherwise be a completely safe platform because another party found a way to make it harmful.

polocy and algorithm are factors that drive users to engage

Yes. Engage. Not in harmful content specifically, that content just so happens to be the content humans react to the strongest. If talking about fields of flowers drove more engagement, we’d never stop seeing shit about flowers. It’s not them maliciously pushing it, it’s the collective society that’s fucked.

The solution is exactly what it has always been. Stop fucking using the sites if they make you feel bad.

You haven’t been to prison I take it. Pens can definitely be a deadly weapon.
