“Speak to me of summer, long winters, longer than time can remember,
The setting up of other roads to travel on in old accustomed ways.
I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughters that
Knew the knowledge of the land, that spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways.” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=886Wxionims
That’s some sci-fi nonsense.
All things are science fiction, haven’t you heard? It’s a battle of metaphors and words.

“If all information is seen as part of a war, out go any dreams of a global information space where ideas flow freely, bolstering deliberative democracy. Instead, the best future one can hope for is an ‘information peace’, in which each side respects the other’s ‘information sovereignty’: a favoured concept of both Beijing and Moscow, and essentially a cover for enforcing censorship.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality, 2019

Can you please give me even the slightest hint of what you don’t comprehend and understand?
Do you know Russia is a nation on the planet Earth?
Do you know “Kremlin” is like the “White House” of the Russian government?
Do you know what “Heart and Mind” means in military strategy? “Winning hearts and minds is a concept occasionally expressed in the resolution of war, insurgency, and other conflicts, in which one side seeks to prevail not by the use of superior force, but by making emotional or intellectual appeals to sway supporters of the other side.”
Can we start there?
I’d win for most breweries visited. I’m around 600.
You need to study up on Russian manipulation of your own mind, as you clearly have lost your Heart and Mind to Putin in how you go around on Lemmy attacking Americans who are educating about the Kremlin information warfare against the United States of America. Perhaps you have a Russian agent who has influenced you at one of these 600 breweries?

“Rykov has created a series of websites, similar to Trump2016 ru, or used his Twitter page to post opinions on international politics. He often promotes rightwing political figures; for instance, he has previous promoted the National Front, a French nationalist political party, and its leaders, Jean-Marie Le Pen, and his daughter, Marine Le Pen. Rykov also uses events to draw favorable comparisons to Kremlin policy, such as likening Scotland’s independence movement to Russia’s annexation of Crimea from Ukraine.”
Is there anything that can be done to hold Reddit accountable or make people aware of they way they are censoring speech?
Many people on social media platforms don’t realize the spam filters can be abused by attackers to prevent certain topics from being mentioned. And on front-page subreddits they do not publish comments, they look published if you are logged in, but if you check from off-axis they are unpublished. I’ve been posting some of them here and on Bluesky, but nobody cares (on Bluesky, but people have here) !CensoredByReddit@lemm.ee maybe some tech press will cover it.
Lifetime (of the person) bans on Reddit for individual subreddits and accounts are dumb. That sites been around for decades. I can only image how many people got banned there at age 16 and are completely different people at age 22. I never see people bring this kind of criticism up.
Linux community arrogance is to deny the device driver issues and think Apple is fine, when the reason Apple thrives is because they don’t have open hardware like Linux, BSD, Windows…
Hardware companies are rarely held account for their absent support of Linux - some campaigns have come and gone, but in the end Linux users tend to arrogantly say it’s trivial to switch and embrace dishonesty. I guess they figure Microsoft is dishonest, so they normalize it.
Then why do people use them? And quit yelling.
People are attacking you, ganging up on you, one of the favorite things on Reddit like media platforms is to be hard core conformity enforcers and silence attempts at understanding mob mentality.
DOWNVOTES DONT MEAN SHIT! SO SHUT UP ABOUT DOWNVOTES AND GET OVER IT!
“MEDIA ECOLOGY DON’T MEAN SHIT I"M JUST HERE FOR AMUSING US ALL TO DEATH WITH DUMB MEMES”
Agreed. It is urgent that we teach Neil Postman’s “media ecology”. The junk noise garbage shit Internet sucks, and enough is enough!
Way back in October 31st 1517 finally one of the clergy got so fed up reading the damn book that they said, “Sin Boldly” and said… read here, verse Romans 11:32 … romans1132.com
The book is so full of contradictions and that’s the power. It cuts both ways.
are they cigars, I can’t tell
Imagine being in Taiwan and having full access to information about China and the west and still shilling for China. Those types of people should be looking for a dominatrix, not a political philosophy…
That’s kind of the history of humanity regarding religion. To some degree when the religious prophets were alive it make sense, but hundreds of years later it’s a story book (or oral tradition) and people still strive for the authority.
We haven’t really had that many teachers like Carl Sagan who describe the history and our favoring of authority - inability to question them. It’s pretty weird, as they often aren’t attractive or good speakers, but you see people just accept almost anything they say. I mean in the USA I witnessed so many people who would trust Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones kind of blindly, and there is some mechanism at play that humanity in total seems to keep engaging.
Edit 4: The Shadow-Ban doesn’t seem to work on r/help but definitely on r/hfy.
I’ve seen this come up with a large number of links on Reddit that were even to BBC website. It comes down to the subreddit settings on spam filtering…
I think the whole process of automatic hiding of spam filtering for user accounts is a bad-faith experience. People on Reddit are infamous for not actually reading links and wanting bots to bring in text and such, and I think a lot of the anti-spam measures cultivated this for a very long time.
One thing that crowdsoucing never was very good at was spam filtering… because too many would sell out and buy upvotes/likes on Twitter/Reddit etc.
I expect it is federation outbound activity growing in memory usage, it’s all held in RAM for every post/comment/like going out to subscribed servers. !lemmyperformance@lemmy.ml is a community for the focus on scaling Lemmy.
