Well, maybe they had some good points.

I don’t know, but there must be something making people too scared to switch from Reddit /j

I’m still in the process of abandoning Reddit and barely started moving from Discord. Almost completely done with Facebook, though, and deleted Twitter while it was still Twitter.

YouTube will probably be the hardest to replace, and I’ll stay on Bluesky alongside Mastodon for a while.

I guess the hard-core fedi users are naturally overrepresented because they’re posting here a lot more often than others.

I think we might be having a misunderstanding. I thought of “tankies” as denizens of lemmy.ml and similar places, likely not even being Russian or Chinese themselves or living there.

I’m pretty sure you are right about Chinese and Russian imperialism. However, the average person anywhere is not a knowing supporter of imperialism themselves… that’s where propaganda comes into play.

…they are the enemy, they hate all that is good and just in the world, all they know is war and submission

I don’t think even Trump supporters are that horrible people. At worst, tankies are falling for Russian/Chinese/etc… propaganda, possibly due to overcorrecting from American propaganda. None of us are immune to propaganda.

I just want to hug him and tell him and anyone his age that “teenage/school years are the best years of your life” is a bold-faced LIE.

It gets better.

It gets WAY better.

We need to sexualise the metric system.

Because “right” and “good at winning debates” do not necessarily correlate.

I can’t win arguments because I’m bad at arguments.

By that logic, I would probably end up changing my beliefs every week or so or end up believing something absurd because someone who believes it is good at sophistry.

But then again, this is also why I try not to argue much. It’s a waste of time and just makes everything worse.

I will, however, hear people out if I think they might have some good points.

But if we can get the Alex Jones crowd on our side, that might include the Epstein administration :P

“Do not register on decibel meters”

Get a better decibel meter, then?

Afton probably sold his soul to Satan for advanced AI tech or something, idk.

Also, artificial intelligence is a LOT more than GPTs. We had AIs that can win against Kasparov since 1997.

“You need 2 years of experience for this entry-level ditch digging job”

I also use Vivaldi, and I don’t care about the bloat.

I bought the entire computer, I’m going to use the entire computer.

Yeah… and I don’t think we can leave the outcome to chance. Because wealth disparity, if left unchecked, is still going to exist after this happens (and probably get even worse).

AI generated “content”. Especially when it’s blatantly obvious and/or when they’re lying about it.

We can still make it happen. The AI isn’t coming as fast as the techbros are hoping. We still have time.

Yeah, having people’s livelihoods threatened tends to get them a little upset.

I am glad you are fortunate enough to not yet suffer the consequences of capitalist automation.
