It’s just incredible how consistent views are under the western propaganda umbrella. Yeah, we’re pretty consistent too, but it’s weird seeing it from the outside. There’s no critique, there’s no self-reflection, there’s often no logic or perspective of any kind. They keep yelling “sovereignty” like it’s a magic word and they think it means something.
Unfortunately it’s also really boring. The same people with the same childish understanding and incurious diet of media saying the same things over and over and over and over. I wish more of our team would disengage. I’m certainly not getting any wiser going through these conversations on repeat and I don’t think anyone else is, either.
I was initially optimistic about being reach out to people. But within like 5 minutes of dealing with them, that all deflated and the reason why is one of those “I should’ve known” reason that’s hiding at plain sight. It boils down to the fact that they are mostly Ledditors. A Ledditor has a very specific profile:
They use Reddit enough that they’ll actively search for a third-party app and get mad when that third-party app is taken away from them. Most people would just use the official app or not care enough to quit Reddit over a third-party app.
They use Reddit enough that they know who Spez and have a strong opinion about Spez. Most people don’t know who the fuck Spez is because Spez is a nobody.
They use Reddit enough that they choose to dive into a Reddit clone instead of just moving on to another social media site like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and so on.
All this is to say your Ledditor’s brain has long since been completed melted by repeated Reddit use. They’re the ones who unironically say and upvote every single tired Redditism (Thanks for the gold, stranger, upvotes to the left, I did Nazi that coming) that are a decade old at this point, completely indistinguishable from a bot.
Ledditors act more like Redditors than your average Redditor. That’s how fucking bad they are.
And since your Ledditor is more Redditor than your average Redditor, the completely trash opinions that comes with your stereotypical Redditor (basically parroting the US state department) is with them as well. It’s stronger with them if anything.
However, not all Lemmy users are Ledditors and not all Reddit refugees are Ledditors either. We have to find them and reach out to them. But Ledditors? They’re just dunk tank fodder as far as I’m concerned.
The Redditing class may be divided into three categories
