Trying to prep myself for when they foxify all social media platforms.

Pot, kettle

Edit I'm a dumb dumb and used the wrong phrase.

I mean Lemmy is social media just like Twitter, and is not free from the risk of political "forcing"

So I meant it like Twitter, Lemmy. But me dumb

I'm forcing conservative media on you?

Lemmy, and other political media.

I guess the phrase is wrong. I'll edit my comment saying I'm a dumb dumb for using the wrong phrase

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A forum is social media? I don't know any motherfucker here.

Absolutely, in so much as posts are made by people with the intention of it being seen, and possibly swaying people to an idea.

Anonymity does not change this. It's not like people know everyone they see a post for on Twitter either

Edit aside from my using the wrong phrase, it's funny that folks think Lemmy is special
