I guess if you’re standing on the deck of a naval vessel, it doesn’t matter much what you’re wearing

If the enemy thinks your ship is already sunk, they’re less likely to try and sink it

Is this specifically a reference to gate, or have we just accidentally come to the exact same end point independently?

Lmao I’m perfectly relaxed, laying back with a beer in hand enjoying my Friday night, enjoying all the retarded trolls desperate to prove my point

Or what about the other dumbass in this thread with the extremely enlightened position of “everyone who doesn’t agree with me is just a bigot and participating in bad faith”

For instance, one of the largest power users on this instance is claiming that rfk Jr is actually decades long Republicans psyop and has perpetually feigned all of his political positions just to undermine democrats this one election.

Probably yes, but it’s not going to seo very well since it’s not very popular, and what popularity it does have is split among instances.

The most notable loli instance is listed, and a lot of people absolutely loathe that content they don’t need to browse exists there

Really? NSFW lemmy isn’t listed? There’s far more controversial NSFW instances listed

I think the argument that we need to give special privilege to rural voters is bogus

Yeah, nearly everyone would agree with that because the argument isn’t about voters, it’s about the states.

Speech within the bounds of employment typically wouldn’t be considered censorship since you’re under a voluntary agreement to say specific things. For an extreme example, if a teacher just sat around talking about their failed marriage and gambling issues, few would consider it censorship since it obviously isn’t within the scope of their employment. They’re free to talk about it all they wish, they just can’t get paid to do it in the classroom

Network Propaganda demonstrated this quite convincingly

Yeah, to be honest, I’m not spending $15 and reading that book to make any definitive statements about the claims they make. Just to preface in case your response is going to be “the book covered that criticism already”.

Unlike other media ecosystems, the right-wing media ecosystem sources their content from the fringes and brings it to the mainstream. Like, nothing from Dissent Magazine isn’t going to show up in the New York Times. But stuff from Breitbart and…wtfever counts as fringe on the right, showed up on Fox News, often disseminated via Tucker Carlson.

What’s wrong with ideas being “sourced from the fringe”? Something isn’t automatically wrong because it’s “more extreme” or whatever, especially when it comes to subjective views. And while I’m not particularly a major consumer of mainstream garbage, I find that it’s all just about the same, regardless of left or right, with the primary bias being in the ideological spin put on things, with a secondary focus on what does and doesn’t get coverage. Fox is going to praise an anti-abortion bill, and the NYT will condemn it, for instance, where neither is right or wrong, they just have different points of view. Or fox is going to report Biden saying some mumbled garbage and tripping while CNN reports trump standing in the vacinity of a gun. Same shit. Both are biased, neither is right or wrong about it. Just different perspectives.

As a side note, I clicked on the “dissent magazine” link since I hadn’t heard of it, and oh boy that’s a weird site. Like, Wtf is this article “Know Your Enemy: Elon Musk, the Jews, and the ADL, with Mari Cohen, Alex Kane, and Peter Beinart”. Some real “I’m playing both sides so I always come out on top” shit right there.

The entire right-wing media ecosystem seems to not care for facts or anything that is real from what I’ve seen. Everything is used to frame events for some political purpose, and it’s not beyond them to manufacturer fake crises.

Buddy all the media does that. It’s hardly a right-wing exclusive. If you have any specific examples of relevant right wing media being un-factual to a level above and beyond the general standard of mainstream media, feel free to provide them.

Not a perfect solution, but you can create a “work” profile on your phone and put a second install of boost on it, and use one at home and the other in public.

The problem is that it violates the reddit terms of service. Which is trivial for an individual user for whom the worst is just getting banned. But for an app that would be considered commercial, especially one that sees major successes as boost would, legal action from reddit is entirely possible.

I also have this problem, exclusively with things on burggit.moe.
