Thank fuck I literally use none of those services.

Lol, posted on “X”

The beacon of freedom and democracy, as that loosely arranged attempt at a nation state has been called, certainly is not.

(Edit: and unlike some people seem to think, it has never ever been)

And the woke media continues to report news about trump in a negative manner. Pay attention

I wish WhatsApp wasn't the main form of communication in my area of the world.

That's the only one I'm on and it's because I could not convince anyone around me to just use texts or download signal

Yes you should break yourself from all of the US and Israeli tech stack. They cannot be trusted.

Shut the fuck up, fucking dipshit

Loser

Exactly where people who need to read this message are. What’s your point?

Weird, because all i have seen is regular news outlets sugarcoat and protect everything he says and has done for years now.

Lol. Lmao even. You think shaping your habits will protect you. You can't personal responsibility your way out of this.

I hope Lina Khan gets her old job back

It's hard to get away from the hardware companies through. I'm all AMD because they're a little less evil, but they're in the same AI bubble and also currently doing little in terms of innovation since they already have the performance advantage

It has little to do with protection and more to do with keeping a clean conscience. I won't support evil.

People are talking about it, but the conversations are muffled or muted by those same billionaires.

Large no kings rallies should have had massive coverage, but were actively ignored by the news who frequently report on a handful of protestors who are promoting hate. Heck, with all of the pro Trump bullshit being a tidal wave of shit it just drowns out everything else so trying to actively discuss problems anywhere but niche communities is like trying to have a conversation in the middle of the dance floor at a rave.

I mean, congrats? Kind of irrelevant to the discussion here, then.

"Oligarchy becomes smaller and more powerful" - article

"Good thing they don't get my money via direct means" - you

The issue here isn't your about your conscious. The majority of people do use these and those people are being influenced.

Your comment has a sort of fuck you I got mine vibe to it.

Lol 185+ stations.

Sinclair waged this war a decade ago and won. That number needs a couple zeros on it.

Lol, short of going out and killing these bastards there isn't much else I can do other than to stop supporting these services. I have to hope if enough folks like me stop using these services they will fail. There is a point where it only takes one straw to break the camels back.

Moral superiority. It's seems to be a strong theme around here. Why worry about others when we're all so much better then them.

No it's not, lol. If people stop using these platforms they will fail. Sounds to me like you're just justifying your continued support of these services and platforms. Defeatist loser mentality.

I don’t either. Too bad 99.9% of the rest of the people do.

Neither do I, I only use it for sending and recieving messages. I don't think anyone uses the AI bullshit that was added to it.

That's basing your imagination that we're a meritocracy. There's meaning behind the saying "failing upwards". I don't know how to counteract it either, but their success comes from failure. Let alone the Island stuff.

She's Mamdani co transition team or something like that.

They said......on twitter/X ... with a blue check...

Do you just login to this account every month or so to collect downvotes?

Too bad 99.9% of the rest of the people do.

This is the problem.

Good job lemmings, pat on the back for separating yourself from all this bullshit. Unfortunately, the thousands of us here don't have super mega voting power.....

Use Kimi K2 instead, feed your data to the Chinese instead of the massive nonces in the US.

What are you even talking about? I didn't say shit about meritocracy or failing upwards. I'm talking about not supporting those services and platforms that support evil.

assigning moral value to software is such a weird thing when you really think about it

"haha look i’m a morally superior person due to the specific 1s and 0s that run on my CPU" ok

It was so much better when the search bar was just for contacts or chat messages instead of all the genuinely useless terms

And how dare they criticize capitalism while living in a capitalist country!

And how dare they push for better labor laws while using electronics made by child labor!

Stop with the silliness.

We need socialism

Time to study socialist theory. Seriously! https://redsails.org/

If you can't solve the problem 100%, why even bother.

Oligarchy speed run!

Someone's gotta reach where the masses are

And some people will defend billionaires saying thjs is just the free market working.

Really is a shame

gotta reach people

gotta reach people

posting it on an alternative would be preaching to the choir

But everyone else does and they will be voting in the next election dragging you down with them.

The only one mentioned here that i have is WhatsApp, but i barely use it

Although i do still use some other nonfree Amerikkkan services. Discord is the main one, i'm quite active on there and it's not that easy to replace because of its structure with communities (also there aren't good alternatives yet, quite hopeful for Fluxer tho). I also use an iPhone and Apple Messages, and i have a Macbook (which I don't use much at the moment) but I'm gonna install Linux on it. I don't make use of iCloud tho, i use Proton Drive and selfhosted email.

With a paid blue verification check mark, no less.

Use your own brain instead, feed your data to your thoughts

Plus Amazon
