I wonder how long until Xitter does this sort of thing to the EU Disease Information account:

Community Note:

Covid 19 is not real.

I feel like that level of misinformation is now possible there.

I don't think the people still on X are going to be listening to the EU disease agency account.

They should (as you say) go where the people are... Which is threads and BlueSky. Follow the crowd.

Probably economic and sociological issues.

Low mental health access, lack of cultural concern/respect for alienated groups, lack of welfare and social safety nets.

The usual stuff that makes people feel like they have no future, and resentful of others.

I'm fine with it.

Which perhaps might also speak to another division, reformists vs revolutionaries. Eg those who want to bargin to make gradual improvements in conduct/practices or believe such is possible vs those who think something more drastic or conclusive is necessary as far as changing everything.

Hace we considered that perhaps certain socially normative messages such as these also reinforce a Capitalist agenda: eg. Keeping leftists from becoming interesting in, and owning/running their own businesses?

I feel plenty of leftists have probably stayed out of business in order to avoid being exploiters... But I'm not entirely sure that's how things work, or the best outcome possible.

What I'm saying is; culture under Capitalism gets us to recreate messages that reinforce the status quo of base superstructure relations... We do so without knowing, and often without questioning it.

So not to be that guy (but in this case I'm totally being that guy); I'm just asking questions bro!

...and now just actually reality as in radicalized domestic actors, but also The Onion is like a test case, if you can fall for it, then you might have fallen for some amount of Russian bot account activity too.

I've never had a positive interaction with Lemmy.ml. For me it serves as a quarantine space, and a set of pre-tagged users I don't personally enjoy dealing with.

...and I'm not particularly averse to Marxists sentiments either, but they're certainly not good sales people, diplomats, or representative of their cause.

Which is just part of their reputation now. Having a bad experience with a .ml user seems to be part of the lemmy experience. It's kind of comical how consistent it seems.

That said, I'm sure there's good people on .ml.
