I don’t enjoy art that divides people with hate. The Bible as art, the Quran as art, the Torah as art - where clergy preaches that “only our book is correct, all other books are false”. I find no pleasure in hate, I find no pleasure in war and killing.

I leave the life
I left behind
There’s truth that lives
And truth that dies
I don’t know which
Never mind
يا سلام على السلام يا سلام
يا سلام يا سلام، يا سلام يا سلام
I could not kill
The way you kill
I could not hate
I tried, I failed
You turned me in
At least you tried
You side with them whom
You despise
This was your heart
This swarm of flies
This was once your mouth
This bowl of lies
You serve them well, I’m not surprised
You’re of their kin
You’re of their kind

Worse than ever :( over 14 years, and I have an audience of 4 persons, four persons in fourteen years and 2 months :( who can match that artistic record?

I hope too. Thank you.

Anybody else feel like Lemmy is like 60% Russian trolls lately?

China and Russia both

It isn’t funny. It’s exactly how Trump got into so much society power in the first place! “Mock mock mockery” behavior!

On The “Contradictory Vaudeville” Of Post-Modern Politics
What this film is going to suggest is that that defeatist response has become a central part of a new system of political control. And to understand how this is happening, you have to look to Russia…

NOTHING stops this, because people keep mocking back. And it isn’t just one single individual, Donald Trump, but multiple families (Rupert Murdoch, etc) and millions of people who believe QAnon / “Q” without there being any person, just a constant barrage of leadership icons mocking truth, mocking sincerity, mocking the Constitution, it is a media cult of ignorance! NOTHING STOPS IT! 10 years and 10 months of this!

Blah blah blah week :(

I suggest putting bounty awards or running contest (prizes) for open source software related to Beehaw… even $50 for certain feature, make a dedicated website maybe (Beehaw Bounty .org or something)

… how is the week going. Well, beyond words.

“Russia interferes in your brains, we change your conscience, and there is nothing you can do about it.”

That is how my week goes :(

My contribution to Humanity and #MemeLife platforms - I come from BBS days in high school.

Kids these days. In 1776 when I was 7 years old, we MEME war on CB Radio, Breaker 19!

Have you see examples of what memes were run by the IRA and CA?

You obviously are so well versed on /c/Politics that you don’t even know what Cambridge Analytica did to the population? Steve Bannon?

When presented with a citations, mocking is a typical symptom of the problem. Low-effort one-line junk responses to a total article.

It’s odd how many people think Fox News language behavior isn’t a concern.

People so strung out on memes they chase any free sample feed, inclusive of Lemmy.

I don’t agree, other than the dogwhstle use of the phrase problem that is ongoing. But back to my point: there are reasons Cambridge Analytica and Surkov style meme warfare from the IRA go for this topic, because there WAS a transcendence in The Bible, there factually was The Enlightenment

People think we are living in Holocaust Denial… no, what Fox News, Alex Jones, and Trump present is described by Neil Postman… Enlightenment Denial is what killed good in the USA. www.Romans1132.com -James Joyce unraveled all these media mind games back when Edward Bernays was doing his thing!

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Rudy Giuliani ‘may have been compromised’ by the Kremlin, and FBI leaders didn’t care

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us.” - Carl Sagan, 1995

I couldn’t get an unbiased all feed.

Lemmy would crash if you fed it everything, that’s why Lemmy.ml and lemmy.world were crashing so often since May, the SQL did not scale. Some of those problems have been fixed, but it was performing really badly at the time of the Reddit API cutoff.

The admin headaches of a full feed from over a thousand unknown sources means you are opening yourself up to a lot of legal, copyright, porn, vote manipulation, unpredictable load surges, etc. I think it would have to be something people fund a lemmy site that promises to carry everything.

Admins can choose what they want on their sites. We should be able to easily curate what we have on our feeds.

I think smart-clients are doing this where one feed on a client can even come from multiple accounts on different servers. Isn’t that kind of how RSS readers did their browsing, blending multiple sources?

There’s been so many tools to move profiles around between servers, is is basically multi-reddit by server-login

What will fall apart? Federation or Beehaw?
