Is anyone else completely sick of how rightoid the internet is? I get sick of being pummeled by far right thinking point thought and perspectives on Xitter all the time. It was good and sending me leftist accounts and feeds pretty regularly, but then it always goes back to rightoid grift. I'm just pummeled by it now stop there. They say that there's still liberals on X, but it doesn't seem like there are that many left.
Also, 4chan is really annoying. I get so sick of hearing about jewish conspiracy theories, racism, sexism and homophobia and whatever bullshit they try to peddle. They are trying to make it so that you have to be right wing just to talk to anybody online.
it turns out that if you passively treat privately-owned websites as public utilities they will eventually slide to fascism along with the rest of capitalism
>>762255I'm just so sick of it bro, all the rightoids, they just rub me the wrong way. I don't find them pleasant at all. How could Elon Musk do that to Twitter? I was trying Bluesky though, but damn that website seems like it's full of and directed at mainly freaking old people. They kind of rub me the wrong way there too.
What do you mean they've been treated like public utilities?
Too bad it's really slow here
I forgot Reddit.
It feels weird to talk to actual leftists, almost like it's surreal, I'm so used to conservacucks and rightoids at this point it's hard to believe it's gotten this far for me. I tried going to Leftist Reddit out of frustration, but they get offended by practically everything and are snobs.
I've thought similar things, that we live now in a "post-truth" world, which has been really dismaying for me if I were to be honest. It does seem like people are really angry these days, but it's similar to the situation involving the Nazis more then anything. They were likewise, really angry and all that frustration, got re-directed and channeled at minorities and imperialist grandiose plots.
What I don't understand is how the people just keep falling for it, because it seems really obvious what is going on, especially in the age of information we live in, where it's easier to be informed. But it seems like maybe less intelligent people are less open to ideas that challenge their perception or world view and choose instead the most convenient and comfortable options to stay ignorant. It's just so ugly and brutish.
bilibili is like leftslop the internet. of course there are lots of right wingers, racists, etc on there but they are largely nerfed. actually it probably just depends on your algorithm but mine is like that rn. also mini side rant I wish leftists and especially anarchists understood that their content that they see is algorithmically generated towards their biases. 99% of arguments of "i cant believe someone like this exists, ALL THE SOCIALISTS/ANARCHISTS I KNOW BELIEVE THIS" can be STOPPED if they pause to comprehend that the internet is feeding you, or attempting to at least, to feed you content that, for lack of better words, that center around you. Of course you cant comprehend that shit, you're living in a fucking bubble. FUCK.
yes the worst part of twitter is that most of the decent people cant stop exposing you to retards by engaging them. but if you cant handle that shit just use a different website. will still be filled with libs though
Bros, I was just using 4chan again, that shit is seriously soul destroying. It's the same right-wing talking points, over and over again. 4chan can be really repetitive. I don't know if they're paid by somebody or if they're cia shills but the same topics get posted over and over again, even low level, stupid simple posts repeat. Like there's this stupid supposedly Brazilian poster who makes the same threads over and over again about how he wishes he was "white" and how distraught it makes him.
Sometimes I troll them, like I make threads pretending to be a British guy who is angry at everyone, especially America because I want them to pay reparations to the UK for stealing their land.
But they mostly ignore everything I say or do. They don't like me there very much for some reason, they almost have like an elaborate filter to weed people out who don't think exactly like them. But it's all very reminiscent of far right not sense which just reminds me why I hate this SOBs.
Also, everyone just telling me to avoid these websites, I don't think they are paying attention to the broader concern that most of the internet has been taken over by conservative neo-nazis, and there's very little places for actual leftists. Except maybe Tik Tok, but I think that site is fucking lame.
>>762253You’re not imaging it.
I had to run a little test of sorts where I’d deliberately create a fresh account with zero post or search history for twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, instagram, and TikTok.
Let’s call these sites the “core five”
Every single time, that account would see outrage content, disinformation, misinformation, porn, hate content, and shock content regardless. It took me some time, but I realized what was going on.
Global algorithms are dictating the “core five” more than user inputs. It’s not your fault if you’re bombarded with hate content. The companies responsible for those apps are owned by some of the wealthiest grifters in the planet that are known sponsors of reactionary pro corporate sentiments. These guys can fuck with algorithms to promote that nonsense regardless of your inputs. Other people have commented on this themselves:

fuck, I was on 4chan again. Something about it just feels so nasty to me, it just reminds me of many sensations and experiences from when I was a really small kid that really perturbed me and I resisted and hated those fucking feelings they gave me, they were just horrid to me. And now it seems, maybe those feelings go along with being right-wing or some shit perhaps?
it kind of reminds me of an over sterilized environment and since it is so sterilization it is not as necessary but for some reason there's this large big fragrant pink block of soap in a bathroom that is kind of old looking yellowed walled tiny bathroom with wallpaper that looks like you can almost see how it's glued on and it's in this big industrial area in the middle of nowhere, some kind of machine shop with a big whirring furnace constantly humming in the background and there would have to be like big dead animal trophy heads all over the place too
I mostly just go to bant but that place has slowly been dying, it's practically filled with fucking glowies of some kind, and there repetitive baby cartoon tranime shit they post everywhere the whole forum is just dropping "n*gger" expletives regularly and referencing the nazis or some shit and rectifying anything that is remotely "liberal" or "woke" as they deem it
>>762253There's a very simple solution to your problem, stop using Xitter and 4chan. They are both shitholes.
Being a Nazi is cool now
>>762253> perspectives on Xitter all the time.The algorithm is specifically designed to chuddify its users. Why? Because Musk has unresolved trauma regarding the end of apartheid in South Africa. It might be time to migrate to other social media.
fuck, I was thinking about 4chan again and I think I realized that, all the stuff that has come into effect that I've had serious grievances with have assuredly become right-wing or
"conservative" because for a long time, it seemed like it was all the result of neo-liberalism. You had this kind of mixture of liberal and right-wing leanings, and ideas or sentiments. That is what made up neo-liberalism. But now it seems like it's all gone to teh right or something. I'm too tired to go into detail right now about what it all is though.But like having this elaborate filter to weed out anyone they don't like or who doesn't fit their standards or criteria. Being really anal and uptight. Half the time, they'll just talk about food and shit, that is one socially acceptable topic. Anything that is deemed too "idealistic" or "liberal" is not acceptable, like certain topics, like philosophy, art, and culture or the humanities in general. Liberal subjects I guess.
It was only a matter of time before it just became more streamlined and right-wing I suppose. They're also really classist and all that shit. But it's just like, ugh. I guess with the left I think the equivalent of that is like Redditors, that's what some of the people on this site feel like at best, Redditors, lol. But I question and wonder if there's really any difference between most people and the respective political party they support.
>>763266yes, that's what it feels like. It feels like they want to make you conservative all the time, it seems like they are desperately trying to somehow change my mind or perspective, but it's all just kind of sickening to me.
>>763253Is it because it's more profitable for the billionaire business class to be in alignment with the republicans, is that why…? I just don't understand where the push suddenly came from.
It just seemed like over the years, everyone around me has just gotten more angry, and angrier. I just don't understand what drives someone to vote for Trump and become like a reactionary right-winger like that. I know someone who is a bit of a MAGA person, I've tried to understand but it's basically like with South Park, the core of their stance or argument is just "they took our jobs, they took our jobs!" and they won't listen to anything else, they pretty much just say this "fake news" like they fall for the retarded populist president because they think his half-assed impression of a regular country bumpkin like them is true and it completely fools them. Trump might as well just have a huge shit eating grin on his face with a huge sign "it's so easy to manipulate people" muh white privilege
fuck not too long ago I heard this person say "you know, he just loves his people. Think about that…he just loves his people" (on Trump) I heard people say the same thing about Hitler. What the fuck is that, that's the most moronic thing I've heard, I just wanted to throw something at them.
Is this what the average person is like? what happened to the working class revolution?
>>763305people always say fediverse is good but i have to idea where to find people to talk to
>>763380I just browse the global tl when the home tl gets sparse and usually find some cool people and artists to follow. Takes a bit to get momentum with it, admittedly. I picked it up and dropped it like 3 times before getting a hang of it.
>>763509There’s some decent sites like mastodon, Pixelfed, and blue sky (this one’s getting better). Check em out.
