The biggest problem with social media is that it united the village idiots like your pal. Now, instead of being fringe, they find like minded dipshits online who reinforce their belief while also feeding them new, insane, ideas. I don't know where it's leading us to, but so far it ain't good.
"The loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room." — Frank Lucas Many dumb people I've met simply get off by hearing themselves talk. They 100% get a dopamine hit every time the make a "point".
Same reason I left. I had been a user since like 2014. The censorship and banning of people who go against the hive mind is just insane. I criticized a mod (unknowingly) on a car sub because he was spouting stuff that was flat out wrong about a certain ECU programming thing. Got banned from the sub and permabanned from reddit less than 10 minutes later. I tried to appeal it and got the generic message back saying I had repeatedly violated reddit's content policy which was completely false. At no point did I say or do anything against their rules about hate speech and such.
It's idiotic as they're destroying their own userbase. At this point it's a website 75% bots run by bots. I have no interest in ever using reddit again or making another account.
Them leopards be eatin some faces
This is the whole reason that I discovered and came to Lemmy. Reddit is literally 90% bots, from the posts, to the filtering, to the censoring, to outright banning. It's a mess.
This is a solid take, but the other side of the issue is the question of how long will it take the brainwashed Russian population to realize the economy has passed a point of no return? Outside of major cities much of Russia lives in 3rd world poverty. Will they even notice if the ruble falls to zero?
