So, Instagram has started pushing threads into users’ feed, and every now and then we get a glimpse into the unmoderated crapshoot that is that app…

L.E.: should be noted I do not have a threads account, have never even downloaded the app, this is sorta like “advertising” to try to convince you to move to their platform.

      Yes, how dare we acknowledge our own faults. Always weird how desperately people are to hand wave away our own guilt. Like we never turned away shiploads of fleeing Jews. And American companies didn’t help logistically to teach Jews on the way to the gas chamber. Or worse.

        It’s just interesting to me how radicalized the Internet is nowadays. Any excuse to bring up a way to shit on the US is jumped at. Especially on Lemmy. I’m starting to wondering if that’s the point of Lemmy as well.

        It’s not like the small communities here are surviving.

          Acknowledging well documented history is being radical? That’s a hot take.

          Look the fact that you cannot counterpoint or rebuff any of the claims that I made. Instead choosing to whine ineffectually like a petulant child. That’s on you. Educate yourself or stop disagreeing with reality. Those are your only two real options if you don’t want to be seen as childish and ignorant.

          Communities here are surviving just fine. I’m fine with smaller more intelligent communities. If you need the noise and baseless blather of fashiverse. We aren’t holding you hostage. You are welcome to stay here. But you’re going to have a bad time as long as you try to deny or deflect on history. It’s the same thing I say to the stalinists, the maoists, and the other Bolshevik boys.
