One of the most important things that I learned when living in Beijing is that propaganda works, and whoever controls information controls the narrative: https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/trust-mainstream-media-2024-election-20241110.html?id=bpjtJ3uwA0BYL&utm_source=social&utm_campaign=gift_link&utm_medium=referral#loaded

I have a carefully curated YouTube feed, but if you watch a video without authentication, this is the kind of recommended content people in my area see:

This isn't sustainable. Too much coming off the top of the economy. This *is* a tax.

They haven't kicked me out of business class yet. I definitely don't belong here.

When a hacker commits a crime using a computer, it's prison forever and a ruined life. When a corporation does it, it's just a fine. https://www.thecooldown.com/green-business/cummins-truck-emissions-justice-department-fine/

My feed is a lot less "cool hax" lately and a lot more "blah blah someone on the internet is a nazi" or "I'm extremely angry about an extremely niche LGBTQ issue" or "you're using mastodon wrong and are a terrible person because of it" which is why I'm using social media a whole lot less.
I'm not sure what it is - are cool people doing interesting stuff posting less? Am I following the wrong people? The Mastodon honeymoon phase is definitely over and I need to make a change.

@npub1drn…x2mm The DEF CON team is running a better functioning, better moderated and more reliable social media service than a $44 billion company.

The nut cases winning office and passing Internet troll own the libs legislation is popular with Republican primary voters, but probably only sustainable if they can gerrymander a massive sustained advantage. Most people are centrist. Democrats arguably went too far to the left, but Republicans are now going so far to the right it's off the charts.
