I’m not a mod of any comm and I’m just a regular user. But in light of current GOP events I think we all need to be extra careful not to fedpost. We are going be under an even stronger microscope. What law enforcement (FBI, etc) views as “violent threats” is going to be far different for us than for chuds at a site like StormFront2Trump2028.com.
That’s all. I don’t mean to start a struggle session. I just thought it needed to be said.
You’re absolutely correct that what you see online is not a good sample for what the general population thinks. This has never been the case but with AI presence on social media and censorship it is especially so.
I believe that the idea that social media shows what most people think is one of the things holding us back as worker class because it makes workers falsely assume that some of our positions are not popular.
For example it’s why some unions (in Europe) refuse to talk about Palestine because the internet makes it seem like a controversial topic while it actually isn’t.
