one thing i like about fedi is that it’s more like the “old internet” in that you actively have to seek out people instead of being constantly bombarded with suggestions based on what the company that runs the service “knows” about you. it’s a very different process of getting to know people.

most of the mainstream internet is now based on adtech suggestions, and i’m not sure i like the consequences.

like, there’s this growing expectation of getting exactly what you want, and growing distaste for anything else. people seem to have stronger tendencies to just discard anything that isn’t perfectly to their liking, expecting something better to just come their way eventually. this even includes people, with the online dating industry being an example of where things are particularly horrible. the problem of “choice” is being offloaded to bayesian belief networks that can’t make human decisions.

@lain @Nukie @xue
It's simple. Being a trannie is a personal choince. I have nothing against it.

Abusing childers, taking away personal liberties and dictating compliance are threats that must be met at any cost. If alying with national socialists is a way to stop the left, so be it.

@coolboymew Throwing money at unknown organizations is a good way to not fix anything. The more local they are the better, ending in the most local of them all, yourself.

>Gets moderated on a website for calling BLM as it is: a grift

- Said that the funders got rich as fuck on charity money, that is 100% true. You don't buy several million dollars house on charity org money if you charity is legit. The self proclaimed "trained marxist" literally bought several fucking million dollar houses

- Called race focused organizations grifts, all of them have huge monetary incentive for things to never get better. Why would it? If it's all good, then no money anymore. They'd sooner throw everyone and society itself under the bus if it could get them a buck

All of this in comparison to explain as to why people would be wary of the "Stop AAPI Hate" one (in relation of corps simping for charities again to virtue signal), it might be legit, but chances are that it ain't either

tl;dr: Vouch your charities, don't enrich social grifters that hates you and make your life difficult when you've never done anything wrong
