You all deserve this and worse. No reason to complain about it. This is what everybody wanted.

Any verification is wrong. Like everything in life, it will only impose a restriction on people who don't have the ability to circumvent it at best. The only reason this would go forward is if it can be used against those people somehow. Data collection. Censorship. Need to go the other way. Lean in not away. Look at why bots exist. Find ways to jam that system up. Like if it's a bot trying to promote a new movie. Every comment should be shitting on that movie. If it's a bot in November trying to post the latest drop ship night light star projector on r/coolstufftotallynotjustads well I'm pretty sure my cousin bought that lamp and was the reason his house burned down. For a couple years let's fuck it all up. Make the internet inhospitable to politics, business, advertisers. If it's some racist Facebook group, they pay ads to promote their bot group, so post it here on lemmy and report spam the group since they use bots to moderate. Chase them the fuck out. If they try to stop us it'll cost them millions and us nothing to find new ways. Their option is to either restrict us to the point their platforms suck or they have to increase the number of bots costing them more and more and more until it's not worth it. Go to fucking war with them and take the internet back instead of going the route of giving DNA samples to some 3rd party owned by meta just to look at porn. I don't know. I'm just done with it all. I like to image a world 20 years ago where we all saw the internet moving towards corporate interest and we chased them out. Instead they now create a problem and sell the solution and we all clap and fucking cheer Hitler was much easier to kill as a baby. That's all. After I posted this I came across a topic that is likely filled with bots pumping it. Get in early. Look for indicators. Tag and bag them. But there's needs to be some type of community for this. Like a scambaiters "Famous Influencer Druski under flame for doing "Whiteface" after a video of him making fun of Erika Kirk surfaced online.."

imagine that my comment on a post about an age verification process that's being adopted by multiple sites could exist long after reddit fails. What then?

You all complain but in 5 years you'll all defend it like its a gold standard

Just open it all up to everyone. Fuck it. There's a point we all just get bored of it

Discord did the same thing didn't they? Also reddit heavily used bots to fill they site with posts for years. They were one of the biggest ones. Kiss my ass reddit

When you’re not able to show I’m wrong just attack me. Fucking lemmy

Where?

Yea? Do they?

Do you think they are? You ever take creative people and box them. Lemmy is the box.

Lemmy likes to make noise about Trump but would rather not discuss the politics or do anything about it.

Lemmy is the “i don’t do politics”

😆 I saw this posted and thought of lemmy immediately

100% and he was just the person that represented a much bigger effort by the government to reign the internet and data and information under their control.

Yea and I know logically that makes sense. But also it's fucked that we had this a decade ago. It was great. How we lost it so, I'm not sure. Moderation kind of evolved and stole our right to police communities for us. Now it's used on major platforms to push them all to the right and leftist Got fucked by mods

Got it. What I'm looking for is something like we had in the past. Place where you can post videos, clips or have discussions on current events. Mods seem very different in the past 5 years. Everything is extremely boxed in. For example if I saw a video of Jon Stewart that was giving a great speech, where could I post that here on lemme? I've been in this situation a few times and it looks like I could maybe find a jon Stewart community with 6 people but there isn't really a community to post the random stuff we come across and it's killing a lot of momentum in my mind to get leftist communities up and going. One community might be strictly clips only and only clips that are about a narrow subject. Another community is strictly headlines online and about a narrow subject. Another community are meme focused but memes with only skeletons in it. But then there's a community for meme but without skeletons. If you post a skeleton meme, banned. Like this moderation and community-based policing i think seemed like a nice idea to keep it orderly, but i feel we're losing real community and I'm searching for places that get it.

Mods there remove videos they don't like. I had one up of a suspected agent provocateur burning a flag at a protest and then trying to disappear but the protestors corner him. It got a lot of attention and mods randomly removed it saying fuck the American flag

Why not just use chatgpt instead

Hey, do you guys want to organize and concentrate memes and content to push back against the growing group of nazis that spread by creating content and memes. No no no that type of organization is impossible without the funding that is on the right. It’s silly. Back to posting about beans moths Onions

Throw crap into a pan, heat and pair with favorite canned coke.

I want it

This comment is fucking insane lol
