@nyanide @Inginsub @cassidyclown There was less political spergery from both sides and fewer "no fun allowed" boomers.

Seriously, the timeline of mastodon.social right now is an inverse of the kind of shit you find from poasties/NCD boomers. Two of these accounts joined in 2022-23, and one in 2020. So many of these politispergs are from the same time period.

There's a lot of loser catladies/city slickers/human bots posting this kind of shit on the mastodon.social timeline with the "top posts". This ends up attracting more of the same kind of users and well, look how people see Mastodon: as another Bluesky.

@nyanide the only change is that people have been leaving ever since the burst of new users in early 2021. this includes oldfags who couldn't handle poa.st becoming as big as it is, new instance operators getting fed up with pleroma, and newfags who got bored and left.

Is it just me or did the network definitely feel different in 2021-2022 before twitter became x? I swear it was so much more underground and much more of a niche

_I Didn’t Believe that AI is the Future of Coding. I Was Right._

I wrote my first computer code in 1976, and have been a professional software engineer since 1983, and I agree.

>Don't help the people of North Carolina or Florida because you spent all your money on illegals and Israel
>Publicly state multiple times that you don't intend to do anything in regards to disaster relief beyond what you've already done (almost nothing)
>Block most outside aid because you're territorial about civilians stepping in on your operation
>White nationalist groups start showing up and clearing debris and handing out bottled water and just generally doing the job you refuse to do
>Complain about it

This is East Palestine all over again, the Biden administration has a long and storied history of just refusing to provide domestic disaster relief under any circumstances. And these journalists think the alternative is what? Dying of hunger and thirst in flooded houses? Of course not, you take what you can get, and yeah of course they're filming propaganda and spreading leaflets. The federal government has essentially abandoned hundreds of thousands of people because of their race and the states they live in. They would be stupid not to propagandize.

@lina I know some IRL conservatives and right-libertarians who openly say that they will answer the door with an AR-15, if the government suddenly came to their home to troon out their children, force vaccinate, confiscate their meat, etc.

@lina I think that meme in particular could be interpreted as saying that you should be prepared to defend yourself when the feds roll into your homestead/intentional community, not overthrowing the government. Hence the guy being in the woods and not in some federal building.

I've told people so many times about this kind of stuff, Kaze himself has talked about it over and over again too. If the VIDEOS are being taken down but the MODS aren't, and the websites that hosts the hacks and such aren't, then it's *probably* not Nintendo doing it. LTT's Switch emulation video is still up, has been for a while now, no issues. This is mostly just some crazy people online trying to stir up some shit, and YouTube's copyright system is so borked that it can easily happen.

@lina Who even uses Minds anyway? It always seemed to be "the other Gab". A lot of alternative outlets have accounts on there because they want to be on as many alt-platforms as possible, but they treat them like overglorified RSS feeds, only posting links to their latest videos because nobody wants to spends hours checking notifications on multiple platforms.

>nobody asked for minds to federate and it doesn't even federate correctly, just why???

I think they were trying to implement federation for a while. It seemed like ActivityPub federation was going to be standard for alt-tech after Gab briefly joined the fediverse. I even remember Brighteon and Steemit briefly federating.

>while minds is indeed just a bunch of lukewarm rightoid propaganda pics

I suspect that most of those accounts are fed-run bots, kind of like the LibertyPatriot bots we have on here. They don't reply to anyone else. They post memes and scrape data on people who interact with them as most boomercons are too tech-illiterate to realize it.

@lina Nostr was promoted on a bunch of right-libertarian and conspiracy theorist podcasts and radio shows such as Free Talk Live and The Corbett Report. So yeah, you are going to see a bunch of surface level conspiracy shit coming from them.

@lina Most of them are either news bots or the posts are being made by someone posting to multiple platforms while not checking any of them.

@get @wowaname @verita84_automata @BeedleDave @sun That hachi troll on DRC proves how thin-skinned most Poast and NCD users really are. Also this sums up most Poast users quite well.

@verita84_automata @wowaname @BeedleDave @sun
>Why did Poast dog pile him?

He got dogpiled at least twice, from what I know. One for denying the JQ and another for defending leftists' right to free speech. Other times, it's just him being a vegan and male feminist.

@berkberkman @djsumdog Yeah. I remember seeing a Trump assassination photo in someones yard. That photo pisses me off because you can clearly tell that type of photo is only possible in a staged event.

@djsumdog I see more signs for local politicians than presidential candidates, but I still see Trump and Harris signs. And those who do have Trump and Harris signs have multiple signs in their backyards. They have 100% complete faith in presidential elections.

For the 'Muricans 🇺🇸 :

Have you seen any election signs in your area? I'm in Southern Tennessee and there is nothing. I think I've seen one Harris yard sign and maybe two bumper stickers. Other than that: Nothing. No Trump. No Harris. The past month I've had to drive to multiple neighborhoods all around town and even into Georgia and I haven't seen a damn thing that's noticeable.

The local community centers only have local election signs .. and like maybe 5~10 when normally, at this time of year, there'd be like 30+ signs.

Maybe everyone realizes elections are fake and gay and no one cares anymore ... or is it just my city that's like that?
