They all lulled us with meme culture. Instead what we needed was to create anti ads. Any time our podcast or content creators began showing ads, then we should have first been super pissed off. Pissed Off because these people ruined television. We were in a time when companies were creating patents were you had to shout the brand name at your TV to turn off the commercial. The internet was content creation without those capitalist fucks. Second we should have made an effort to create as hostile and environment to them as possible. Sorry to the little guy, but go to cable access.

For every ad that sucked our free time, we could have produced at least 2 anti ads. Like when a podcast advertised for zockdoc or whatever, we all needed to leave comments like “pretty sure they told my aunt she had cancer even though it was just a cough” or if it’s some drop shipper on reddit acting like they just found this cool temu star lamp then every comment should have been about how these lights burst into flames and killed your entire family.

We need to make the internet as hostile as possible to advertisers. They are the reason we are tracked and why have enshittification. They built the systems to track our profiles and market to us all under the guise of selling ads to random content creators. Why is pewdiepie and Jack Paul and Joe Rogan millionaires now meddling in our politics. Because we didn’t defend this new frontier. We knew they’d create data scarcity, we knew we had to stop it, but they rat fucked us with cat videos and memes.

I’m with you, I just think on top of those we also need to focus on where people are. Facebook does the heavy lifting now. They show you the most popular right wing groups now. It’s easy to post to them

no they don’t. That is what they tell their people. Israel is a foot hold into the Arab countries. Any military needs to be able to deploy rapidly. First to the battle has strategic advantage and smaller less powerful armies have destroyed larger ones just with that advantage. Israel lets America control that area and gives intelligence that it wouldn’t have otherwise. Without Israel, they lose a major strategic advantage to controlling the Arab world. The Big J side is all woo woo. Not even sure I’ve seen anyone really say that. Almost all of America’s moves are to control territory that gives their military the ability to deploy rapidly and to control territory.

I think it’s a bold strategy to leave the bigger more populated and used platforms to constantly exist on the smaller less relevant ones that never grow and offer everything the major platforms do just worse.

Shall we take Stalingrad? nonono it’s full of nazi’s, lets focus on Dieppe

That doesn’t make any sense. We all left these platforms. Like an exodus. How would that make it harder for these nazi’s to take over these platforms?

Is that enough? Isn’t there only like 11 million on mastadon?

Makes me think they’re there to scan the entire stadium and upload it to their new tracking database

Yes it did. What needs further clarification. I told you what is in the article and what I’m on about. Be more detailed next time

I just miss user generated content. Not just a porn thing. I get what you’re saying. But you’re essentially what I hate about the internet. What you’re saying means mass commercialization. Everywhere must be a seller and we are buyers. I prefer the internet when it was regular people creating things.

I bet you don’t notice it but they’re mostly all tied to an onlyfans somewhere. It was an effort by the porn sites to remove them. Anything that wasn’t verified is purged

Go to website, order car with exact color, accessory you want.

Vs

Company orders 55 blue, 55 red, 56 yellow, 55 black with 55 power seats, 55 power consol, 55 …

Want wasn’t it regean that made it a law you couldn’t buy directly from the manufacturer because he was buddies with people who owned major dealerships. And it just stuck since then.

Maybe like forums where you need to be a member. But even the smaller sites are all mostly owned by the same company. They all pull from the same source it’s just different categories. The days of user created porn haven’t been a thing for a while.

These sites are paid for and you get links from telegram. This is in China. They haven’t allowed unverified porn on the internet for awhile now.

Pornhubs parent company owns like 95% of all pornsites that host porn videos. When they scrubbed their content, everything trickled down. This video is in China. It’s an entirely different system there.

They wiped out all the non professional porn awhile ago. 90% of it so was deleted over night. Everything is tied to an onlyfans or studio now

100% and he was just the person that represented a much bigger effort by the government to reign the internet and data and information under their control.

Yea and I know logically that makes sense. But also it’s fucked that we had this a decade ago. It was great. How we lost it so, I’m not sure. Moderation kind of evolved and stole our right to police communities for us. Now it’s used on major platforms to push them all to the right and leftist Got fucked by mods

Not really. This is as basic as governments get. She says this for her base and people but also is doing what America wants behind the scene. Come on guys. Is this your first government or what?

Got it. What I’m looking for is something like we had in the past. Place where you can post videos, clips or have discussions on current events. Mods seem very different in the past 5 years. Everything is extremely boxed in. For example if I saw a video of Jon Stewart that was giving a great speech, where could I post that here on lemme? I’ve been in this situation a few times and it looks like I could maybe find a jon Stewart community with 6 people but there isn’t really a community to post the random stuff we come across and it’s killing a lot of momentum in my mind to get leftist communities up and going.

One community might be strictly clips only and only clips that are about a narrow subject. Another community is strictly headlines online and about a narrow subject. Another community are meme focused but memes with only skeletons in it. But then there’s a community for meme but without skeletons. If you post a skeleton meme, banned. Like this moderation and community-based policing i think seemed like a nice idea to keep it orderly, but i feel we’re losing real community and I’m searching for places that get it.
