It’s not that these groups are full of true liberals, it’s that much of the population isn’t tolerant of lies and misinformation. So it seems that “conservatives” are being targeted.

Do conservatives and tankies added together cancel each other?
The only issue I have with this is that this fules the generalisation of politics even more. There is a lot more of a nuance in politics than just left/right or conservatives/liberals etc. You see this more in countries with more politics parties. It’s not an either or but a spectrum.
But this meme really suits the current climate of Shitter and the US politic system
God, imagine that... we switch to federated and the Nazis can no longer hide behind "Just asking questions" and getting the site admins to bully people.
They are slowly leaking into lemmy.world, my friends living in .world please try your best to hold your position there. Don't let them break through
We should keep them all trapped on twitter forever.
It's a good containment zone for the trash.
If you see someone supporting Trump tell them to go back to twitter and block them
TBH I'd rather them leave Twitter just so Twitter doesn't make money
Twitter isn't making money anyway
it stopped being about money a while ago, its literally a tool now, not a revenue source.
Or more accuratley, its a weapon, a weapon in the information war. being weilded by the Corpo-Oligarchs, the Fascists, the nazis, the Russian state, and whatever brain-worm is in Elon's head on any given day. When Elon was forced to buy twitter, he obviously decided "fuck it, im going to use this to exert my will on the world then". and then a year later, he was doing jumping jacks on stage for Trump rallies.
Fucking
Called
It
the idiots peddling conservatism aren't going to pay much to twitter and the advertisers who are staying aren't giving them a fraction of what they Used to get
Just had to block someone that said wanting a democracy and not supporting a dictatorship was "Chasing perfection at the cost of the good".
Reminds me of a meme template.
🤣damn
But why blocking? That person does not just disappear, and if all non insane people block them, they don’t see that most disagree, but thinks all agree
That's wild given a dictatorship has the whole issue of succession, even with a perfectly benevolent leader they gonna die one day.

Isn't it weird how much harder it is for them to tip the scales on Lemmy and Mastodon, platforms without algorithms designed by right-wing billionaires?
To be fair, it took a huge Reddit exodus for Lemmy to stop being full-blown work camp supporting communist. I'm sure if enough to right wing trolls showed up, this place would change again too
We are fortunate then, that the upcoming generation of conservatives cannot read.
That's a good point, but at least the views would reflect those of the majority rather than being algorithmically-manipulated as on Twitter or Facebook.

WHAT? Are you implying that the rich used the advantage of closed black box algorithms to screw with peoples opinions, motivations and emotions for the goal of enriching themselves both financially and with power‽
Preposterous!/s
Kinda makes ya think… Maybe letting someone else filter the content you see is an inherently biased concept.
I’d rather apply my own biases to my feed, tyvm.

Whenever beating up fascists and their sympathizers is a question the answer is always yes >:3
So much harder to manufacture consent without centralized gatekeepers

Hey it isn't nice to beat up people who only want to seriously hurt and maim you, your family and your friends.
Right? What happened to tolerance?
What happened to tolerance is quite clear, to the point that it has a name, it is called the paradox of tolerance.

Well, bluesky isn't the fediverse, but the point stands.
I'm ignorant af tbh 😅 Thanks for the clarification
Part of their marketing seems to be to create confusion about it. Bluesky uses the language and values of the fediverse to promote what is essentially another closed network. Meta is also doing this with Threads. Bluesky seems like a chill place and a lot of decent people seem to be very happy there, and they provide a lot more user controls than other networks, so the comic definitely still works.
I think Mastodon would be what you're looking for.
Bluesy is a business, Mastodon is a community tool that runs on the ActivityPub (same as Lemmy which is what we are talkin on).
