Yeah… but having some pride (warranted or not) is good motivation to help build and maintain things.

Propaganda is an organization disseminating information they want others to believe, whether it be true, false, or the typical tactic, a mix of both.

You pretty much can't avoid it on social media, the only question is whether the action is direct from the organizations or grassroots support.

Or, it can come from useful idiots repeating the propaganda they read/heard/etc.

We could avoid it if people would stop acting like fucking clowns and parroting every stupid thing they've ever read that happens to align with their views.

Honest question. What kind of propaganda are you seeing on Lemmy? Nothing comes to mind.

I mostly see… Linux stuff. And I am not a computer person. Is that propaganda?
