  • So we should believe Israel’s sources for their atrocities and failures, Iranian sources for their crimes and failures, Russian sources for theirs?

    People lose their shit when RT and SCMP is posted as source, but you fuckwits seem to like military.com which actively recruits for US military is a valid source.

    Ever heard of independent journalism? Or that only applies when you don’t like the reporting from the other countries state propaganda machine?

    Are you fucking dense or something? Or you just keep believing the military industrial complex because they’re totally trustworthy source.

    If there wasn’t Tiktok blasting genocide for everyone to see, there wouldn’t be a genocide according to your logic, huh?

    Honestly, it must take shelving your common sense to come up with that argument. Just wow.



  • Internet has been on last breathe since few companies started controlling the internet discourse since 2010s.

    Fediverse is, i think, adding a new life back. Forums are back, microblogging your mind without being censored by laws of a few countries is back. Static blogs are making a comeback. I don’t care how big, small or popular these instances are, they are lively as ever.

    Here, you are no longer under whims of Facebook, Xitter, Google, Tumblr, or Reddit. If an instance bans you, just move your data to another. You may not be able to escape them entirely but there are more options than there’s ever been.

    You can be a doomer all you want. For me, internet is rejuvenating without the control of few companies and countries. Yesz there’s slop everywhere, there are also gems if you find them.

    The anti-AI sentiment here is proof Internet is not dead or we’d be getting told you’re crazy if you don’t just accept it because shareholders said so. That’s not the case yet.


  • For the threat models and data harvesting the general consumer (i.e. our moms) will face

    If your mom is going to install facebook, X and instagram to post all personal details and photos away along with all the permissions app requests. I don’t think it matters?

    Are you talking about security? What else is Android secretly supplying these apps?

    Let’s stop perfect getting in the way of better.

    “Let’s just giveaway more leeway for corporations, so we can get more accustomed to losing our rights, until we have to jump off the cliff for the lesser evil”

    Apple fanboys were proud they had no ads, Apple put on ads. They said they fight the government, they work with authoritarian governments around the world. They said they care about user privacy, they were funneling notifications to directly to the US government.

    Yea, keep defending these knucklefucks, they’re totally not trying to manufacture consent for global surveillance while you’re given the illusion of “lesser evil” and losing ownership of devices you bought.

    Downvote away, cult.
