It’s just a question don’t get all up in my face this time. Personally I think Islam is underrated. They clearly take that shit more seriously than Whitoids take Christianity. Mexican Catholics or Shias who do we rank up top?
I’m going to be forwarding your responses to the Ayatollah so please take this seriously. Please don’t be mean to me again.
The dude seems to have literally dozens of reply guy accounts with thousands of comments and no link submissions. Starting to think there may be a smidgeon of mental illness at work here
Maybe. Chaos births order births chaos ♾️. Regardless of what that users intentions are, I feel people who wish to learn and grow will, those who view everything as a zero sun game may look like “winning,” for a time, but are the biggest losers, ultimately, notwithstanding awards, accolades, and resources they manage to hoard, until they pass away.
That’s not excusing them from hoarding, and gleefully creating suffering or amusement in their wake. Just a footnote to say if you’re inclined to make informative posts, those who are teachable will learn (and also maybe ask annoying questions).
I think that if the lemmy.world people want to wall themselves off and take over their digital fiefdom it will make people take the artificial public opinion less seriously, the way most older lemmy users outgrew reddit. It seems like something they do to reassure themselves. Then again, this network & Mastodon etc are well-known to intelligence contractors. If they had no presence posting + voting here they wouldn’t be doing their jobs.
From what I’ve been able to observe, I’m inclined to think your assessment holds significant merit.
This kind of offbeat FOSS social media stuff can’t replace the major social media monopolies anyways, it serves a different purpose. People just need a backup and evasion from the US finance-tech-military cartel. If you try and put the screws on people who came to you looking for a better option, they’ll just flee. Nothing that can be done about the propaganda and advertising though & I reckon it is a bigger issue than the petty harassment and powermodding, which is mostly just deranged roleplaying
