Day XXX of conservatives making liberals look cool by accident.
No accident. We always have been the cooler ones.
Liberals in the American sense (not far right) or in the pol-sci one (private property is the most fundamental of rights)?
Right wing rage bait drives engagement which in turn drives up the cost of advertising and gives them more revenue. This is really why everyone needs to abandon corporate social media in droves.
That’s what you get for using Facebook. Just delete your account already.
and god forbid you tell conservatives that all of those options can exist in this world, and that people have different opinions. (and that’s okay)

I think I know why people who only comment the most repugnant shit always complain about being “censored:” they want everyone else to be as miserable as they are, so it enrages them when nobody wants to listen to their barely-coherent screeds.
After all, what’s the fun in posting to 4Chan when they’re just another outrage baiter? Nobody there cares if they’re incivil, hateful, or childish so they can’t get the rise out of people that they crave. There are callous laughs to be had there, but it doesn’t feed the need.
No, they have to go to places where they can spread their miserable loathing around and get any kind of attention for it. Anything for that hit of dopamine they get from angering the targets of their ire.
Deactivated FB six weeks ago.
I’m not saying you should do the same, but I’m not not saying it.
6 weeks? I thought everyone left that dumpster fire 8 years ago
Nope.
It’s a shame they didn’t.
My municipality is posting important information on there, I cannot leave yet. I’ve sent a complaint but “everyone uses it”.
I was banned from FB years ago, they did me a favor
Deactivating is for wafflers. Delete that shit, burn the crops, and salt the earth in your wake.
It’s really not.
You’re still starving the beast. Deactivating just leaves the people who know me an outlet to get in touch if needed.
I told myself that… And then would reactivate and spend a day or two falling back in. Like a shitty relationship. Eventually, I had to cut the cord entirely.
Sometimes that’s the best way to go. For me, deactivating’s been fine. I like Mastodon and Lemmy way more.
It’s how I stay updated on events mostly. Even if a decent alternative existed it would take a long time to get many of my friends and family to move, not to mention some of the groups.
I need it to contact like 90% of the people I talk to
Are all your friends American retirees?
Did…did they censor trash?
Oh, god, that just makes everything worse!
“PSA: Do you know how difficult it is being a #&$8man? He picks up your $&@( for you. Be respectful to your local #(#-men.”
ASSMAN.
It’s “Trish”. That’s the 2nd girl’s name. They didn’t want to be banned for doxxing.
Why you still on Facebook?
Because we left Reddit but there still not enough Lemmy content for while we’re sitting on the porcelain throne.
Imo continuing to use reddit is a lot better than using Facebook. As many issues as you may have with Reddit as a company, Meta is far worse.
Reddit is trying to become like Facebook tho, look at their app and how they are trying to copy blocking mobile web like Facebook used to do for chat
Got to change your sort and subscribe to more communities. There is more than enough stuff here to make my legs go numb on the can.
Ah taking the ole two hour shit… good times.
What do you expect after 3 days?
You need fiber not facebook
I don’t blame him, my wife, my mom and my gran are all there and like to see pictures
I would fuck both cars
You know what I’d do with a million dollars? Drive two cars at the same time.
go to !fuckcars to learn more!
I am scared to look for cars fucking cars
You should be more worried that the lemmyverse gets its very own dragonsfuckingcars
oh, I suppressed that
I’m reminded of that one FA page with all the stories and drawings about women discovering their lesbianism by getting into relations with sentient cars…
Morbid curiosity is fun and strange.
Algorithm free is the way to be.
When you grab images of two different people to try to prove you’re right.
And they fail because the bottom one looks hotter to me (person, not car. I concede that the top car looks better.)
I’d say neither car looks good.
I dunno, I’m not a car person at all but the bottom one looks a bit Splatoon-ish, so it’s better by association?
And I think both women look really beautiful.
I have no idea what they are advertising
Right wing rage
Women as property
The content algorithms are terrible. I’ve been trolling some local news pages that have been posting about Jason Aldean, and it never fails that the most relevant comments are all showing support even though each comment only has a few likes, but when “all comments” is chosen, there are massive amounts of opposing comments that have an enormous amount of likes.
It’s like the purest form of manufacturing consent.
Who gives a fuck? The car isn’t decorated for you it’s decorated for its owner. Same goes with how a person chooses to dress or decorate their body.
Ultimately just another form of “your body exists for my enjoyment”.
This is rage bait? For all i know the lady above is the one below on a work day & vise-versa on vacation.
Like do these people want stock photos for a lover? That’s on them, but i’m confident who they chose in the end to love was NOT the top image lol
A girl I dated sold a set of modeling photos to one of the clip art sites in the early 2000s. She was in a movie too, but all of that right after we broke up.
The photos of her from the photoshoot would show up in weird ways. She was all over the internet! She was an advertisement on the front page of msnbc for a while. But the real kicker was seeing her photo on the wall of a futon store. Like frickin huge. The store was on a corner of a busy intersection. I could see the picture on the wall as I turned the corner. WTF One time I had to stop and go inside just to check if I was making it up. My wife agreed it was her!
And for like 10 years I would see it used in random places.
She was and probably is super cute so not surprised she had some luck selling her appearance but JFC I’m pretty sure some dudes fell in love with her. I did to but at least she was interested in me too
A woman who isn’t tatted amd looks nice? Yeah.
I’ve dated both and guess what? A nice looking woman without tattoos can make you just as miserable as one covered in tattoos. It’s almost like you shouldn’t base your whole selection process on appearances.
Yeah, I know, but thats all we have to go on.
Then, respectfully, we have nothing to go on other than whoever made this meme has never known the touch of a woman.
Uh, have you ever tried talking to them for more than 30 seconds?
Yes? Hell, I’m been married and divorced from one.
Now you know why
Stop clicking on right wing rage bait and it won’t be recommended to you lol
You don’t even need to click for them to recommend it. If you look at it longer than another thing, or take a screenshot when it’s on the screen, it’s a signal that you might spend more time on the app if they show those kind of things. And the chance of you spending more time on the app means more money for them through ads.
They’re monitoring us THAT heavily?
Yes because it makes them billions of dollars. It’s disgusting.
I’ve never once had FB suggest things like this to me…
Probably because I’ve never made an account!
This is not true. Anyone that clicks anything remotely socialist immediately gets fed with the completely opposite, gommunism no food and 100gorillionbillion deaths propaganda. It immediately tries to lead people to the opposite.
Happens on Youtube a lot, I watch leftist videos, and all of a sudden I’m recommended PragerU and it starts showing up on my fucking autoplay.
i noticed this year ago that if stop using my fb account after some time my TL is filled with “suggestions” RW and lewd stuff. i think they are just trying to see what i like, if i click on RW stuff they gonna flood them and same for lewd posts
Which is weird, because when I try to share them my account just gets flagged and suddenly I can’t message the three relatives that still use it for three months
