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.
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
