Spoken like a foreign bad actor

Which young politicians and new media commentators would you point to? I need new people to follow.

“The revolution will be federated” fuck yeah

Thanks. To be honest, that article doesn’t really convey a sense that Democrats are going in that direction. That’s just a few politicians in a large party saying things that they then are made to apologize for which should be a pretty good indicator of what is well-supported by the rest of the party.

Sources for Democrats saying they lost because of their support for trans rights please?

That’s disingenuous. It was active campaigning against Harris, saying she and Biden were complicit in genocide and that a vote for either was a vote for genocide. Actively campaigning against one candidate is effectively (if not outrightly) campaigning for that candidate’s rival.

Uh, well, I’m not the commenter you’re replying to but I personally saw it all over the place. You didn’t? There was at least one in what felt like every thread for months.

I’ve had the same simple point since the beginning of this conversation. In fact, I initiated the conversation by replying to you, so I set the topic of conversation, and I haven’t wavered from it. Care to answer my question that you avoided?

IMO, the average person not embracing the fediverse has much less to do with any flaws in the fediverse (these do exist, don’t get me wrong) and much more to do with inertia, the network effect, and just lack of knowledge or fucks to give about privacy and open platforms.

It’s also probably hugely impacted by a lack of advertisement and corporate backing. That’s just the way it goes.

So, by your logic, you hate the people of the United States, right?

You understand that even a democratic government can be oppressive, right? You can absolutely dislike a government without disliking the people it represents.

Um, yes you obviously can

Well, that first paragraph is likely to be unironically very close to the truth.

I considered writing at least a post somewhere after reading your comment/adding my reply, but to be honest I don’t even know where it would be best received

I have used it several times for long-form writing as a critic, rather than as a “co-writer.” I write something myself, tell it to pretend to be the person who would be reading this thing (“Act as the beepbooper reviewing this beepboop…”), and ask for critical feedback. It usually has some actually great advice, and then I incorporate that advice into my thing. It ends up taking just as long as writing the thing normally, but materially far better than what I would have written without it.

I’ve also used it to generate an outline to use as a skeleton while writing. Its own writing is often really flat and written in a super passive voice, so it kinda sucks at doing the writing for you if you want it to be good. But it works in these ways as a useful collaborator and I think a lot of people miss that side of it.

keep diggin’ that hole

Sure, yeah, that must be it. No need to self-reflect any further.
