I think we need to have better conservative content. All of what your describing sounds like negative characterizations of conservatives made by far left individuals.
Yes, there are some absolute morons in the world. Probably a lot of them. But not all conservatives are morons, despite what many left leaning people would like to believe due to the polarization brought about by social media echo chambers.
Apple TV+. They are releasing some really spectacular shows (Ted Lasso, Severence, Silo) and enough fillers between the spectacular stuff.
Christian would be wise to start a Lemmy app. He would have a huge following right out the gate.
What was the point of karma? I never understood the value in having it.
Haha! That would be a funny mix up. I imagine most people here will be 25+ but maybe I’m wrong. If some 16 year old has the acumen to join the fediverse, power to them. Frankly, anyone that wants to join this is welcome because they’ve decided to move away from all the corporate shitty social media.
I have a hard time trying new google stuff because it seems they kill it a few years later. Google used to be amazing, now I’m highly skeptical of the company. I’ve even switched to using Bing because google searches just result in a bunch of AI shit and other SEO bullshit.
Love to hear this. Welcome to the fediverse. I’m excited to be here with you all.
Use Wefwef and search for communities either the same name as your old Reddit communities. Many of the old communities have been ported and are starting to grow!
Same. I’m posting more because these are real communities on a platform that isn’t run by a bunch of corporate pricks. It’s real community. Not a business.
Wefwef on iOS is amazing. This graph is really uplifting (pun intended). Let’s go fediverse! Fuck Reddit and the greedy CEOs.
I hope he considers developing for Lemmy/Kbin and the fediverse more generally.
For the record, I would not consider myself right wing. But I do oppose many leftist ideologies. Grievance studies (Critical race theory, queer theory, and other ideologies based in post modern belief systems), for instance, are eroding many useful and productive enlightenment ideas. Color blindness is a legitimate way to reduce racism. Instead, leftists believe they should elevate group identity at all costs, thereby expanding and heightening racism. Queer theory denies human physiology, elevating the idea that everything is socially constructed. This framework is a grave distortion of the reality.
I agree that conservatives need to do a better job with their policies. Trump was a stain, and the few (okay maybe more than a few) loud idiots in the party make conservatism look bad. But if left wingers only get their information about right wingers from hyper left sources, we are going to have a lot of distorted views.
On social media, people are served more and more radical content. Much of that content includes great distortions of the “other side,” which pushes people further into an untenable and undesirable belief system.
We need more debate and we also need people to stop simply calling the other side morons.
