I’m so mad at how shit tech is
Facebook is a non starter. Zuck is a terrible person
Reddit censors everything
YouTube/google censor everything
And of course all of them chase metrics that make their products worse and worse and worse and worse

I know nothing about Maduro or the situation there
But it’s fascinating to see the dichotomy between people celebrating and the negative comments on the other hand from leftists (among which, totally captured and inorganic Reddit)
My political beliefs have changed a lot in the last few years, I no longer believe a lot of the things we’re being told
“Leftists” can be living in their own world - sometimes
Fuck off, spambots
I like Sam Harris but he can’t move beyond the Covid vaccine dichotomy
He seems to think the only objection to it is from ignorant fringe science maga people
It’s a little weird in eastern time to have nye when the rest of the world has had it for ages
Zuckerberg went from “I regret censoring Covid info” (though I think Facebook funded fact check orgs) - which is legitimate, and people in a vacuum should not have revolted against it on political bias grounds - to “it’s now official policy that it’s ok to call lgbt mentally ill”
I’ve dithered a bit about him over the years trying to give him benefit of doubts (and especially trying to defend him when it comes to politics because people don’t realize they’ve been lied to, you know) but I honestly don’t think he has a shred of ethics in his body at all, he lies and I’m sure he was probably happy to censor Covid, anything to serve power (if I’m wrong then I’m wrong)
(The fact does remain that the population does think vaccine = safe and lockdowns and masks = necessary so they’re liable to push back against him purely on grounds of politics and “science” hence the initial wanting by me to defend him - also Google/youtube suck at this too, they do so much censorship)
Merry Christmas, friends
I look at Reddit and it just feels like enforced narrative, about anything
Subreddits share mods, they’ll ban people based on ideology, I think there was even a soft coup in 2016 where all the “disagreeable” mods got replaced
From there it simply becomes self selecting
I don’t even have that many people followed and yet I still sometimes forget who someone is in my feed
Two things can be true, tds does exist and trump himself can also be an opportunistic publicity seeking prick
