    Yeah, everyone should stop using Instagram, Facebook, threads, reddit, tik tok. But the FOMO is too strong. It’s too bad, if they did it would fix most of their problems in like a week.

      I’m actively working on moving on from Facebook. The amount of false information on the platform is just astounding and when you report the lies, you just get a response saying it doesn’t break any rules. Not even talking politics here, there was deceptive AI post about two top tennis players, that I reported.

      Why is the leftist approach is to platform the opposition while the rights approach is to overwhelm the space until it does what they want?

      Which approach do you think is working and which one do you think is failing?

        Which approach do you think requires more money and cooperation from the network management?

          Neither.

          Both sides have money. In fact the left has much more money than the right.

          We’re not even talking about big money here. The average right leaning person will give a dollar to any thing they agree with. The left mull over the morality and ethics of a thing until it passes then they say “well I would punch a Nazi if I ever needed to” but they can’t even muster the energy to read a comment they disagree with.

          Look at the donations given to random assholes who said something anti vaccination. Millions of donating poured in. Look at that women that yelled racial slurs at kids in a park. Millions.

          I saw Jon Stewart posted here the other day and the comments were calling him a fascist.

          We’re fucking done.

        Everyone should stop going to churches, synagogues, mosques, the church of latter day saints, and scientology. But the FOMO and fear of eternal damnation is too strong. It’s too bad, if they could just realize that everything is god including themselves, they could live happier more fulfilling lives in like a week.
