Fascinating how all the shit they say about Russia and China is completely faked concern
The second anybody threatens their hegemony they’ll pull down the puppets, the lights and the props in the theater and have you staring at the brick wall
Reminds me when Twitter banned 20-30k “Russian bot” accounts around 2018. The comrades at Boy Boy printed some tweets, then asked people on the street if the tweets were from a banned russian bot account or not.
There was no trick to it, it was just really, really difficult to determine if “Liverpool won tonight! So proud :smiling face with heart-eyes:” is enough for Twitter to consider you a Russian bot but admitting to regime change in Venezuela (like they did a month ago) wasn’t.
Twitter is not our friend. Mastodon on the other hand…
Yeah, I think this is important for people to realize. Participating on mainstream platforms like Twitter is important for the purpose of agitation. However, these should not constitute the backbone of the progressive social network. Open platforms like Lemmy and Mastodon developed by communists and leftists should be used as our primary networks.
I don’t use Twitter but every week they manage to astound me even more. That they are so blatant about it is what’s surprising me the most.
Like they have fascist accounts openly spouting anti-Semite shit and doxxing people and they don’t do anything about it.
We need a subcom for censorship. There are a lot of subcoms that we’re kinda “missing” at the moment. Of course, we should also use the subcoms that are actually here and with us right now, but there are sometimes where I’m looking through the list on the “Create Post” page and for the life of me I can’t find anything matching what I’m posting.
Okay, got one made: https://lemmygrad.ml/c/censorship
Awesome!
