that content keeps me coming back as an unregistered lurker and for much longer than all of the fediverse instances combined.

What’s the difference between a fascist and an “anarchist” who does everything they can to kneecap the only viable left leaning political party in the US?
what’s the difference between a cuckold and someone who votes for racist, homophobic, classicist establishment politicians no matter what; there is no difference.
i’ve lost track of the number of times this has happened to me since joining the fediverse and part of me wishes i had stayed on reddit to remain ignorant of the of ignorant liberal masses.
the “no politics” crowd is speaking from a place of intense privilege and i know this because politics and fucked my life and seeing people support politicians who are responsible for those politics is maddening.
look at the responses in other fediverse instances; the no piracy, no politics, no fun crowd is the majority
but only if you know enough about the fediverse to be aware; if i had no logged into like i usually don’t do on these days, i would never know and spend the rest of my time on lemmy.world trying to figure out why i can’t find any pirating stuff to share.
only poor people have to deal with rats and roaches; which is why they’re still around.
i feel the same way, but i take the opposite approach and drink water like a dehydrated man in the desert with a thing for salt lick the whole time i drink; it makes me urinate a lot while i’m drunk, but it works.
they don’t need sex robots; they can afford to pay for the real thing
nearly half of computer-related engineers/developers/technicians/analyst who refuse to believe that this and other similar programs that snowden revealed on purely ideological grounds is a huge source of fuel for my misanthropy; the fact that they tend to be the most successful and/or well paid in my field (software development) is a several fold bigger source.
we’re so fucked
i used to inhabit forums and bbs that did something similar to reddit and i learned that the downfall will be so slow that no one will be able to recognize it. one of them was still around and i took a look when i left reddit and saw that the die hards remained and now post over 75% of the content.
it’s a bit like climate change; it’s unquestionably happening but most either won’t admit it or just ignore it.
The fediverse has so little content that it makes it hard to imagine anyone paying for something that gives you less content and participation than any unregistered lurker gets from something like reddit for free
