It’s easy to find very oversimplified information or excessively complex info. Pretty hard to learn without someone that knows a lot answering specific questions after you learn the basics. Hopefully someone gives a nice clear mid level explanation for ya.

The beautiful idea that blows my mind, is how much better the comment section for a question like this post presents is on Lemmy, than Reddit!

aaaand there is the missing part of my understanding about jamming and frequency hopping radios! Thanks

I think about this a lot too! It feels wrong that so little material can allow so much work to be done. Feels like moving a mars bar should take a significant amount of the mars bars energy to move stuff around, but you could do a lap around the block and still not deplete what it gave.

O_O…

Another of those rare times I don’t expect to laugh in a thread.

While of course i have a reason for posting this thread just like everyone else’s always does. It’d be really weird not having an abnormally high reply rate giving the spirit of my post lol. I could have gone the other way and intentionally replied to zero people as a joke.

Under normal conditions i would do like you say, just not for this post for obvious reasons.

edit: also, some people are just more invested or friendly, they might want some conversation. I do realise you are taking a stab at me, but its ok to chat a bit.

Getting zero upvotes after writing a ton of text is a bit… not fun.

I got invested in a thread from a guy being eaten alive by mosquitoes and posted a joke, but then realised i didn’t read it well and he seemed serious, so i replied properly. He ended up with a ton of replies and didn’t say a word lol. Not saying there can’t be valid reasons like going to bed or ducking out to the shops in a fit of rage to get equipment for the mosquitocaplyse. Seeing it happen more than in one post is the part that’s really getting me curious now.

Interesting to hear your side of it. I’ve just responded to a few posts in a row that responded zero times, but ran off to post elsewhere. People worked hard in them so its worth an opinion or two.

I know it can be a bit awkward too, to respond after so much is said from so many people.

I’m gonna reply, that’s what I’m gonna do. What are you gonna do about it? I’ve added almost nothing to respond to.

On principle, i’m replying to your comment as its first :P Edit: i came in here to do this, but i woulda responded either way lol

Im more talking after an hour, not a single comment or update from OP.

There definitely are good reasons to take time responding or not comment for ages etc of course. Some comments of course don’t need a response.

Nooo, i finished my comment to you and then upvoted you while proof reading >_> turns out that kills the comment… ugh…

If i could rewrite my first comment to just talk about conservatives then i would have. I’d rather focus on active threats of evil corp shenanigans.

I agree that republicans are becoming fascists in the overt sense. My views are based more on that they are unknowingly fascist by actions, not awareness. Conservative policy in a nutshell is really just “We good, You bad” and power plays without any rational explanation. Can you really name any decent policies conservatives have? All i hear is hate, scapegoating, intensification of totalitarian power structures, increasing control for corporations, war and guns. Those things were key in Nazi Germany too.

Maybe you need to go have a read about fascism, then tell me, are the points presented becoming more or less similar to current conservative views?

I really like that you are codifying policy like this.

The “instance is mostly made up by bots” is obviously a great call but your wording makes it sound like <50% bots is cool, >50% bots is not cool. haha

Conseratives and fascists are the same group, so I’ll refer to them as fascists.

You are talking about one of the core criticisms of corporate secret algorithms to determine what to influence you with. Fascism is forced to creep into everyones world view when you use standard social media, and the average person wouldn’t have the slightest idea. Certain key things will be more related to fascist content, like philosophy, psychology, guns, comedy. If you think about what fascists enjoy, or what they need to slander then it makes what I said make more sense.

Jordan Peterson does a lot of vids around psych/philosophy to redirect curious people to false answers that are close to true but more agreeable for fascists. An example of a psychological cooption is “mass psychosis” being coopted into “mass formation psychosis” by fascists. Mass psychosis explains too many true things, where mass formation psychosis redirects people towards a more palletable direction for them.

This is why I want to be nowhere near corporate media if possible. If you delete your cookies(or private browse for the same effect) then youtube will promote the most adjacent things to what you watch like old youtube used to do, although it’ll still promote fascism when directly adjacent. With cookies though they have an excuse to have questionable content linger statistically too often.

Oh, i had a problem like this very recently. The house has an air-vent that i assumed had a screen, but it was just flat out exposed. Because of the house design it just massively funneled the wind and mosquitos inside. I opened the vent cover and put some tissue paper over the inside so that it’d get fixed in place somewhat to “filter” the mosquitos and just instantly went from 5 per night to 1 over the next month.

If you get creative you can put maybe a candle floating in the middle of a large bowl of water, then a bit of detergent will break the surface tension to make them fall in. The detergent will also kill them.

The simple reality is, left wing views get minimised, distorted or outright censored in standard media like reddit. It’s mostly just false flag stuff on reddit like calling liberals leftists or socialists. The only place to talk freely would be some tiny place in the middle of nowhere like a lemmy instance. Which makes supporting FOSS even more important.

Righties like to cry censorship, but its almost purely when they foam at the mouth and “accidentally” get too abusive, forcing the platform to save face and ban them. Standard corporate media will megaphone right wing views and give them free reign to be open nazis unless they go a step too far as I mentioned before.

From my understanding, lemmy practically started out heavily left leaning and got progressively more regressive as redditfolk migrated over.
