The ruling class in general. Whether they wear red or blue.

Or in rich people words;

“Social Murder is just economics”

yep. https://lemmy-federate.com/ lets you do this.

Isn’t that the case for basically all those websites that add trackers. Which is most of them.

People absolutely influence each other. On the rate of a couple lemmy comments its marginally tiny. But they do.

At risk of sounding cliché, we live in a society.

And heirarchy in not inevitable. The kind of social stratification we see today has only been around roughly 10’000 years. Which is nothing in the grand scheme, in evolutionary time.

For most of human history, human relationships underwent far more egalitarian structure.

Good thread @cris_color@lemmy.world

my dyslexia ass will just read “pigeons”

Same kinda but I don’t mind switching around so I never stayed on ML too long.

I agree. But when I disagree is using that as an excuse to discount individual action.

Just because billionaires are racist doesn’t mean it’s fine for me to be racist. Same logic here.

I think the active users per half month might be a more useful metric than total accounts because that includes all the dead accounts.

My problem is less the nerdy and niche stuff. Because there’s a lot of communities and you can subscribe to what you like.

My problem is more how there’s a lot of debate lords, arseholes, and I’m the smartest in the world types.

But I guess that’s the case on all social media. Really shits on what’s otherwise a nice experience here tho.

Or even better, a private frontend. There are plenty. Even on ios, download the Unwatched app.

WTF. Is there news coverage of this?
