    You keep saying shit without backing any of it up. The “left” isn’t only what you see on your niche platforms like Lemmy.

    Kinda sounds like you just spend too much of your time on Facebook reading posts from lunatics. They can’t be saved dude. They’re not even arguing in good faith. They know. You wasting your time is literally the goal.

        You are wrong. Who is on a platform is almost irrelevant now, the algorithm will push what it is tuned to anyway. Not to mention the increasing percentage of AI slop masquerading as real people. The platforms only have power if everyone continues to use them. Hence why it’s hard to get people on alternatives when everyone they want to talk to isn’t there.

          The platforms will always have power regardless if the left is there or not. The only difference is if the left is there to actually push back against this slop.

          The algorithms don’t matter. They push the same stuff to the same people. In fact the algorithms are helpful since it can drive more people to content based on engagement. But if the only engagement is from the right that is all people will see. It’s a numbers game. You are wrong and not only are you wrong, you can see the consequences just from where we are now. Just wait until the kids today grow up. The left is in a worse position every year because of views like yours
