#socialMedia also moves the "center of attention"

old media: newspapers, tv, radio, it's always been manipulated. but it at least had the pretense of civility. this standard no longer holds as old media fades away and everyone is on social media accepting lying bigoted edgelord trolls as the center of attention

so #bigotry is nothing new, but it is amplified like never before

in this way, #trump is nothing more than our first internet #troll president

So möchte doch jeder gerne derbe beleidigt werden.😃

Das Wasserproblem muss man konkretisieren zu "Süß"wasser.
Schon an Küstengebieten wird das Meer immer da sein, auch wenn durch fehlenden Regen Flüsse und Seen austrocknen.
Deshalb wird versucht, z.B. Kartoffeln zu züchten, die man mit Salzwasser bewässern kann oder gleich auch salzliebende Pflanzen umsteigen.

Damit kommt aber kein Tropfen Wasser auf die Alm, gefriert zu Gletschereis, geschweige denn zu Bodensee oder Rhein zu werden.

Bei der Rumgeschwurbelei frage ich mich dann immer, was das helfen soll?
So eine Mad Max Dystopie zu schaffen, wo Endzeitmenschen mit Verbrenner durch die Wüste fahren. Das ist doch kein Ziel. Und dann sollte auch das Geschäft mit Öl nicht mehr laufen.

Auch als Wirtschafts-Techi komme ich zu dem Punkt, wo Technik (nachgeordnet) in einen nachhaltigen Lebenszyklus integriert sein muss.

I've mentioned here before that I've got a persistent MAGA troll on ErosBlog. One of his complaints: I "post too much gay shit".

Wednesday I posted 8 seconds of video from TikTok of the cutest imaginable blonde trans bunny girl being insufferably cute (to you or to me) but in a way guaranteed to get a MAGA asshole up and bouncing on his trampoline and crying. Do come see!

Yesterday I made a test, warned against this account with a hashtag of the name and a certain bird, and promptly got the #scam again. It's the sign that this paragon of a #troll factory or a narcissistic bot tinkerer hopping instances is not reacting randomly. Don't just block it, it's important to #report it so that it finally comes to an end. Don't click the links. If it's #scraping, a joke, or an attack on the Fediverse: a #fediblock would be fine! The phrase pattern could be filtered.

a lot of the #toxicIdealism you see on #mastodon in terms of "they're not perfect, so don't #vote" is the same as a russian #troll putting an american flag on their #twitter handle and goosing #kremlin narratives targeting #maga

fake #leftists on the #fediverse with lazy easy #left bonafides to do their #psyop

they do it, because it unfortunately works

toxic idealism is a real problem with #leftist rhetoric

they suppress the left vote and we get #trump

Well yeah, #socialMedia is nothing but people blowing off steam (all I'm doing)

...and a massive #psyop campaign

But, in understanding that it is a psyop campaign, we see there is something here worth fighting for, because it has an effect: it gave us our first internet #troll president, #Trump

So how can we turn social media to a force for good? And if we can't, how do we ameliorate it's destruction of our societies?

I agree arguments are stupid
