Article? … there is an article?

Read the title, skipped MSM / one-way media article, came straight to the comment section

login walls, pay walls, spun prose, AI generated noise … no way. That era is over. Let it die. Have a funeral for it, put a stake in it, and a heavy slab over the gravesite.

Make sure that monster stays dead and buried.

Doesn’t solve astroturfing via bots, but at least there isn’t centralized manipulation.

lemmy’s got it figured out and i think it’s by accident; just stay away from the large instances.

it’s going to be interesting to see how quickly mastadon gets swallowed up by the profit motive.

It does help with it though

For profit platforms have more of an incentive to keep the bots going, for engagement reasons. Non profit managed ones should want to get rid of such bots?

So far it’s helped in motivation, but not in implementation.

Turns out combatting bots is a hard problem and hobbyist admins and nonprofits have a lot less resources than their for-profit counterparts.

We are all on federated lemmy and have moved off State owned or sponsored corporate social media.

Whether you lean left right or something else, everyone needs communication and financial privacy. Otherwise the State will crush you. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but on a long enough time line, it’s inevitable, YOU WILL BE CRUSHED.

The State and MSM lost the narrative. And we will not regress
