Do you do it for clout? To vent? To feel better? To inform others? Or is it something else entirely?

    I originally posted to inform and be informed. Then I noticed and learned how things work. It’s numbers. Content is king and the reason there are so many bots is to get leftist to run away from visible areas that normal people read. So then I started posting on any social media to fight against massive amounts of anti lgqtb or other culturally relevant issues so the right didn’t get to spread their bullshit uncontested. Anyone can see the right are succeeding globally everywhere. The internet is a new frontier and the window to seize and fight is only open so long.

    I then found lemmy and thought this place could be a way for leftist to fight back against right wing capture. Instead it’s like just really disappointing. It’s just really a showcase of why the right have succeeded and how the left went from a dominate position to the most submissive. I stay here and post hoping one day maybe people will wake up. But I also come here to be reminded how easy it is to lose it all if you choose the wrong team.

    It’s also a good way to see how these sites, users and mods implemented their strategies to turn these sites into the most generic corporate billboards.
