Tags on Mastodon cause a post to appear on Lemmy? That sounds great, but I can't find any documentation or anything about that. Do you have a link? Does it really work?
To me, the act of amassing all that wealth is a crime by itself. It is the accumulation of countless (small and big) transactions in which you could have shared the value more equally, and decided not to. You could have paid your employees more, and decided not to. You could have made your product/service more affordable (to more people) and you decided not to. After having accumulated a certain amount of wealth, I think such decisions are immoral.
Having robbed the world for decades, and having personally solidified a rapacious system, these people are responsible for a lot of past and future misery, ranging from missed opportunities to death and disease.
I guess a valid question is: so what if its not real. Who cares? We all have many identities, and the internet is a place where we can anonymously let them all out.
I guess my answer would be that I would find it a bit sad. And a bit scary.
I know its problematic. If he's real, I hope he never reads this, and that I'm not making him or other people (too) uncomfortable.
To answer your question: I guess he sometimes sounds a bit like the "cool, young, (black) streetwise teenager" that progressive eager-to-be-inclusive white people of Mastodon (mostly in their 40s or higher) would like to have among them. Someone to show their kids: "look there are cool people in the Fediverse who talk like you!". And at the same time, I guess his posts sometimes sound a bit like how such people would pretend to be a cool young black streetwise teenager, but then with their own hobbies/interests: like writing a sci-fi book and resisting corporate social media: https://mstdn.social/@Jaden2/110691658378461126
Disclaimer 1: I realize this latter point is very much built on stereotypes. No community owns such hobbies/interests.
Disclaimer 2: I'm all up for for a diverse Fe-diverse, btw. I guess I'm sharing my suspicion especially because I care about that. But maybe it backfires and actually causes more harm. If so, apologies.
Right? I feel very uneasy, both about my suspicion that it is not real, and about these (mostly white elderly) people who totally blindly assume it is (and want it to be?) real.
