Thanks dude. I got set up. Actually I think this instance might be a better fit anyways. Todon is anti ML? Like wut???

Any body have a todon.nl invite? I’m on bluesky but I’m so over corporate social media and want to try mastodon.

Any good Marxist pixelfed instances?

Damn near every thread just feels like bots posting based on sentiment. One day, ever user loves idea XYZ but the very same topic on the next day every user hates idea XYZ. None of it feels organic or genuine. Once I learned about dead internet theory and read Manufacturing Consent, it’s easy to see how the vast majority of social media is just nonsense bs

I pulled that figure out of my ass, but it’s definitely high, likely way higher than people realize.

The Jakarta Method

Manufacturing Consent (and/or the follow up Propaganda in the Information Age: Still Manufacturing Consent)

All the tech bros sucking musk off are infuriating.

Remember though, reddit is like, what, 70% bots? I mean come on, there’s barely anything organic on that platform anymore. I’m just about ready to delete reddit as well. It’s just a mindless timesink.

That’s what I figured, but I got confused. Do people really not read the linked sources?

It’s still the same Proton

I’m new to Lemmy, what are ‘articles’?

This is the only answer that matters tbh

The entirety of the tech space is basically mask off fascist Trump/Musk simps

I am the opposite. I’m becoming more and more dedicated. i’m fighting FUD online, reading a ton of theory, consuming lots of Leftist content, joined an org, went to a meeting finally. I’m all in. No doubts in my mind at all.

It can be frustrating since it seems like an impossible battle, but I know I’m right. Empirically socialism is a better system. Capitalism has failed in all non-imperial-core countries, and barely functions in the imperial core ones.
