While browsing the fediverse I come across more and more accounts that seem … a bit off, a little uncanny. The stuff they post seems random, their comments slightly weird. What’s going on, is the fediverse being overrun by bots? Or am I as a fanatic anti-AI person just losing my mind and seeing the enemy everywhere?
I hate the fact that I now question every interaction that seems a bit off - it seems such a stupid waste of my time and I’m afraid I might just end up blocking real people who happen to express themselves in a strange way - as a neurodivergent person I know how bad I would feel about being ostracized as ‘too strange to be real’. How would you handle this?
I mean this comment is not intended to say neither “never use violence” or “assassinate your politicians immediately”
I think the internet should be used as recruitment for peaceful methods only, but, if hypothetically when you meet up in person and decide that you want to “escalate”… well… do that in a secret basement somewhere safe, not online where any plans could be easily intercepted and easier for governments to manipulate.
I mean, for legal purposes, I’m not gonna overtly advocate violence in a serious, non-joke way, but I mean, if you decide to use force, then that’s you decision, I can’t tell you how to plan your actions 😉
As US President John F. Kennedy once said: “Those who make peaceful revolutions impossible, make violent revolution inevitable”
TLDR: Online forums are exactly what you described, a place to vent your frustrations. If you actually want to plan a revolt, do that IRL.
