I don’t mean those who are paid to do so -their motivation is obvious. I mean people who are destructive out of their own motivation and represent untenable points of view. Are they really serious about this?What’s the point?
I mean, it can’t all be the propaganda machine. What would be the point of trying that with Lemmy, who is paid for it? With LLMs, I can still understand that it could be done very economically, but even here there are real people who do it. Why? How did they come up with that? What is the goal? What drives them to do it?
I don’t get that at all.
So 4chan is ubiquitous? I had thought it was a self-reinforcing effect caused by completely degenerate people gathering on the same platform.
I mean the complete lack of sense of responsibility when dicking around just for laughs is the same
Please don’t get me wrong: I’m up for a laugh, but not for most of the stuff that 4chan finds funny because it’s at the expense of others (exceptions are, of course, those people who are quite rightly targeted, such as Nazis or TV priests who only enrich themselves at the expense of their clientele).
Yeah same. It might be the unhealthiest place on the interwebs.
