      Just like Google, the fixation is far more on engagement farming than content quality management.

      Trump stuff gets the clicks, so you’re going to see a lot more of it. Also, expect to see an increasing wave of ☯👺 𝐏ᑌSşƳ ιᑎ вι𝕠 🐤🐧 tier posts.

        Don’t forget about the soldiers with huge boots over their prosthetic legs. It’s their birthday, all 10,000 of them. So sad. Did you see the young man who made an impressive sculpture of a dog? Or how about the other 7 million of them? Dog sculpting is really taking off I hear.

            At first glance I was like ‘why is there a deep red state in the Midwest?’ then I remembered Indiana. I passed through Bloomington a while ago and it was sad, old punk graffiti covered up with big trump signs.

              It’s honestly a shame. Indianapolis is a really fun smaller city that’s well laid out for visitors. It’s just swimming in a sea of suck.

                Hoosier here…yuuuup

                The pockets of blue are growing a little bit in some of the more affluent areas just outside of Indianapolis like Carmel (or, at least, it’s more purple than it was 20 years ago).

                I’m hoping as remote work continues to grow, people move here to change the place because of how cheap it is - even in like the heart of Indianapolis lol

      Vote, offer rides for other voters that can’t make it on their own. If people vote, the racist rapist with 34 felonies will lose as usual.

    They would be stupid not to. At this point it’s almost guaranteed he will win the presidency. Nobody would like to make an enemy of POTUS.

      A fascist accelerationist is poised for a possible win in the next election, and you’ve gone full Roko’s Basilisk and have decided to aid and abet the Fascist because if he wins, you want to be spared from his wrath.

      We’ll let me tell you, the fascists will eventually come for you if they are allowed to take over, so you better drop the defeatism and rally for a second Biden term like your life depends on it. Plenty of people’s do.

      Or just become a fascist out of cowardice, and the resistance will show you what real fear looks like when we find you, and I assure you, Trump won’t be there to save you.

      So think long and hard about what the actual stupid decision would be here. Announcing your plan to enable ethnofascism in America isn’t exactly a demonstration of intelligence if you’re hoping to avoid conflict.

          Fascism has a fairly concrete definition, and while it does exist on a spectrum, I’ll take the 15% fascist party over the 100% fascist party, hands down. Not a hard decision. 15 is closer to zero than 100, so we’re closer to the ideal.

        I did not decide shit. I just explained the reasoning behind Facebook’s actions. Now everyone is calling me a fascist. I’m a progressive FFS. You guys are out of your minds.

          Then why don’t you edit your post to make your meaning clearer? Because if everyone is misunderstanding, then it’s probably not all our fault.

      You get the downvotes, but in a way you’re right. With scotus ruling the next president could do whatever they want as an official act and there would be little to no recourse. Sure they could sue but that would almost definitely get tied up in courts for a long time. Mr. Robot is just covering his own ass. That ruling by scotus will be the downfall of the wrong people are able to take advantage of it.

        “Just covering his ass” this attitude is why our country is fucked. Well as long as it benefits the millionaire personally to be a coward and sell us out, then that’s okay

        These millionaires want all the power but refuse accountability. Why give him an out?

    Please reply to my post with any random emoji if you had tangible relief and improved relationships when trump was kicked off Twitter.

    I noticed an immediate and drastic difference in my work environment, for example. I could elaborate but would ramble
