Thanks, obviously people enjoyed it.

Did you get your education… inside Putin’s butthole

Great news for all the sociopath billionaires, how wonderful

I don’t think federal agents are using these scanners to find people carrying weed

Recreational weed has been legal in NY for years

Fortunately we’re also destroying the oceans

Yeah well said. Looking forward to the day they try to force an “updated” privacy policy on users, or start charging 69.99/year.

I don’t understand.

Are you saying it’s a bait and switch like Google, where they suck people in with a good product then enshittify it once they’re hooked?

Yeah, I imagined basically exactly that happening and decided not to tell anyone about it, not yet anyway. Also, I don’t want them to get death threats from Hexbear like I did…

Same, I haven’t told a soul I use it despite being active here over a year. I still believe in it though (or just really hate the idea of accepting corporate social media).

I think they’re paid to spread disinformation (or run LLMs that spread it) that makes “the West” look bad and their authoritarian leaders (CCP, Kremlin) look good.

So if someone mentions Tiananmen Square they delete it or lie about it, or say “what about Mk ultra,” but not because they actually believe in anything other than getting paid.

Thanks! It’s already happening.

I wonder how many good, reasonable people have checked out Lemmy and seen all the CCP/Kremlin propaganda then just left.

Yes good point, I suggest we deal with it by defederating hexbear and the .ml instances.

The Hexbear and .ml instances aren’t really tankies/communists, IMHO. Some of them, sure, but mostly it’s just a facade for their propaganda.

Can’t make a single comment without insulting me, how sad

Yeah, lots of propaganda on Lemmy. Not shocking since its relatively unmoderated, but I hoped it was small enough to avoid it.

McCarthyism is about the Kremlin, this post is about the Kremlin’s disinformation. Thanks for insulting me though, that part was very convincing.
