refutation? No, I was joking.

You don’t joke by saying you are insulted or by saying someone is being condescending. Again, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt – perhaps some language barrier.

You can’t just explain to people their feeble minds are being manipulated. Like trump supporters…

Funny you say this when half of the platform is people trying to do just thaaaaaat.

Come on… You are the one saying you would not use social media with fascists and tankies. You are already “looking away”.

Huh?

I am thinking there are some language or cultural barriers here, because the last comment wasn’t me trying to insult you. It’s a direct refutation of your remark about russian agent, and the comparison was meant to complement the earlier statement (that people can unknowingly support something detrimental).

Just saying that I am not the one claiming everyone (that I dislike) is an [insert any country/organization here] agent ;) But people can be misguided into supporting something that is ultimately detrimental to them – see also Trump supporters.

That’s the kicker – you are not even being paid when you are contributing to their cause.

With that mindset you might as well give up on the whole internet. (not that it’s a bad idea.)

ITT: a mighty showcase of the divide-and-conquer strategy by psyops.

Instead of realizing that our goal as an alternative community to Reddit is first and foremost to… well duh, to build a community and keep it thriving, people here are infighting, preferring to subdivide themselves into tankies and non-tankies.

If Lemmy eventually fails and no other project with a similar feature-set can show up in time, we end up killing the existing momentum.

If that happens, all of you shall remember this very moment, and bravo to the psyops people (be it from the government or corporate) because you won yet again.

Donated. Though because I am living in a third world country it’s just a measly ~25 dollars.

Also remember it was built with tools from the 70s. Which is probably an advantage

Definitely an advantage. Even without planned obsolescence the olden electronics are pretty tolerant of any outside interference compared to the modern ones.
