Let it be a limited space that not everyone has access too, not everything on the internet needs to be for everyone. Or atleast by the time it does open up the chuds shouldn't have a chance to get a foothold

i like discord for the most part, but the one inescapable thing about it is the 4chan gamer frog is everywhere, even in the servers that don't tolerate the slightest bit of chud poo poo

JUNGLE BOY posted:Sorry I meant in terms of reach. Twitter but the reach of a large discord server yea that makes sense. the one thing i like about it is there are no major brands or other advertisers on there at all, at least not that ive seen. which probably means it won't last very long (or they'll change it in some lovely way to encourage more marketing bs to happen there) but for now its kind of nice to have a relatively quiet social media site where its just people talking to each other and making jokes and stuff

I don't think this is particularly healthy behavior though and it's probably good if that aspect of Twitter is gone

I don't think this is particularly healthy behavior though and it's probably good if that aspect of Twitter is gone i agree it was entertaining. part of the problem tho is a lot of people started getting it into their heads that "publicly dunking on" bad people was in some way doing harm to those bad people, that it was a negative repercussion they were facing for their bad actions. but it wasn't. the actual real effect of retweeting and dunking on some chud's lovely opinion is: spreading their message and helping them find more likeminded nazi shitheads. and it causes their poo poo to be more amplified by the algorithm. so while it might be fun and make you feel better for a couple minutes, its not only unhealthy, its actively helping the people supposedly being dunked on.

MunchE posted:The same reason the whole Joe Rogan set are how they are. They want to feel *special* and *smart*. I'm not part of either of the teams, I'm in the middle above the fray of all you partisan idiots! Then they pat themselves on the back about how much of a smart free thinker they are and passionately support every Republican candidate and policy and viciously attack every Democrat. Not because they're on a team mind you, oh no no. But because they did SUCH a good job with all their research they happened on the enlightened answer: Everything Republicans say and do is right and everything Democrats do is wrong They take care of certain things and everyone else does whatever the gently caress they want with the rest. If it gets too complicated, you create a subsidiary like a subforum and let mods there manage it and liquidate it if they screw up badly enough (closing Helldump), like putting organized gangs under checks and balances (if not destruction), where therefore results in freeing up the individual, relatively speaking, as opposed to being organized or massively indoctrinated into warring camps who fight and kill each other (if just online) over ideology. This is why the people you're talking about, despite patting themselves on the back about how above-the-fray they are, are the most ideological people. The ideology is also like a pragmatic relativism which tends to be wary of any absolute claims on truth. But again, there are all kinds of contradictions with this like you point out, or certain assumptions or irreducibles that it rests on (true for every philosophy really), while certain ideas (such as those which challenge concentrated wealth and power) are ipso facto ruled out of court because "it doesn't work" or violates some abstract concept like "human nature" which you can sit around and endlessly debate about for 1,000 years. Not to go on too long, but a philosophically point about "free speech" being sorta bogus, in that everything we say is shaped by structures we learned as children like the language itself. To communicate with power means a structure of some kind rather than just babbling nonsense, and so "my free speech is being suppressed" can often be a mask for demanding that everyone listen to you all the time. I have a "right" to be boosted directly into your timeline and any restriction on that is a restriction my "free speech." But there are time/place restrictions on public speech, like I can't go out into my town square with a megaphone and shout all night. So a world of perfect free speech, without any restrictions (which includes the restrictions placed upon us by language itself), would be a planet of babies who haven't learned language yet screaming into the cosmos.

To be fair, pepe was around long before it was a hate thing. Dude made it in 2005. And pretty sure he specifically hates that it became an alt-right hate thing. Was a twitch thing long before that too, and it wasn't even a hate symbol on 4chan originally either (rare pepes). I take pepe with a grain of salt just like the ok sign, just give it context and you'll know if it's a nazi or not. Grey Cat fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Jul 11, 2023 |

It does seem that after Reddit ran out the dumbfuck clownworld folks the 4chan crowd has mostly moved on and now if I see a Pepe in the wild it's more often than not just gamers doing gamer poo poo. Which tbf often also means Nazi poo poo but I did not mean this in this context

I have zero confidence that Jack won't turn bluesky into chud central if he thinks it'll turn a buck.

I remember during the trump years there was some fash event like charlottesville but smaller where some memelord showed up and the rest of the chuds were telling him to gently caress off as he unpacked all his pepe-meme signs and then said "but these are good memes!" and I think that was when pepe jumped the shark.

I have zero confidence that Jack won't turn bluesky into chud central if he thinks it'll turn a buck. From what I understand Jack owns very little of bluesky and likely has no real decision making power. However, the point of bluesky the company isn't to be the next twitter but to built the framework that people can use to make a bunch of twitters. I would expect a bunch of innocuous instances get spooled up by Nazis playing the long game, kind of like how nazi early adopters on reddit snagged the xkcd subreddit and used it to promote holocaust denial.
