  • I don't think they're trying to lose. I think they're overrun by corporate influence as badly as the Republicans, and have no strong leadership to coordinate and guide them against a relatively coordinated right wing with foreign support.

  • I’m reading people directly trying to influence opinion to not vote for Biden by any means necessary while willfully and actively avoiding any consequences to a trump win

    Exactly, Kremlin shills and trolls using Israel's genocide as a wedge issue to get their asset into the White House again so he cuts support for Ukraine and pulls out of NATO.

  • I wonder how many people give up on the fediverse without ever bothering to ask this very common question.

    Time to defederate from lemmy.ml and the other propaganda instances so the Fediverse has a chance of surviving.

  • I’m considering leaving the fediverse altogether

    I've had moments where I considered it too, because of all the tankies and propaganda, but I'm still here because I really want to see it succeed.

    Unfortunately, I won't even admit to anyone that I use it, let alone recommend it. I think from a rational outside perspective, the unfiltered Fediverse is an extremist echochamber. Some of the things that get said and heavily upvoted are wild.

    I've had death threats multiple times from Hexbear users, and I've abandoned an account because Lemmy.ml users followed me around and downvoted everything I posted (which was mostly memes at the time).

    We can't expect people to deal with all of that when there's already a relatively steep learning curve when joining. There's no corporation running the show to fight propaganda, we have to deal with it, or the Fediverse is at risk of going the way of Voat.
