Practically every main stream internet service I can think about that I have used is littered with fascist or imperialist comments. Anytime I push back against it, I have to contend with a wave of reactionaries jumping down my throat.

Sometimes I wonder what’s the point. As in, should I just back off and not say anything? It doesn’t seem like saying anything makes a difference anyway.

I dunno, I guess I’m teetering on the edge of despair a bit. Fascism isn’t fringe on the internet anymore, from what I can see. It makes me worry for the near future.

Fill disclosure: my friend thinks I’m just too online.

    Those “mainstream” internet servers are all owned by usa. Whoever controls the server has full control over the website. They can show different things to different people. They can make posts not appear, show others an edited version, make tools generate comments, write whichever numbers they feel like into the like counter.

    So if you don’t want the server to ai-generate a bunch of nafos for you you must make sure the server is not tied to usa.
