No it isn’t, tons of people predicted it when the democratic party pushed for Hilary Clinton when democrat voters wanted Bernie Sanders.

Edit: No, this isn’t some propaganda conspiracy people, this actually happened. Lawsuits confirmed it, but they were subsequently thrown out because the DNC’s charter of impartiality was determined to be a political promise, not something enforceable by court. But even before the email leak, anyone who was following the DNC primary knew what was happening long before the email leak, they didn’t try to hide it.

Steeve , (edited )

You’re going to have to be more specific there

Edit: lmao am I crazy here, what does any of this have to do with propaganda? Or did I just go against Lemmy’s doomer circlejerk again

Steeve ,

What does this have to do with my comment? You’re the one that said the “world told itself” something. I’m saying it didn’t.

Steeve ,

No, that actually happened. We all watched it happen in realtime, emails were leaked confirming it, but by that time we all already knew what was happening.

This isn’t some crazy conspiracy by the way, lawsuits confirmed there was a clear DNC bias, but they were dismissed because the DNC argued it was their right to choose a candidate and the impartiality in their charter was determined to be a political promise, not something enforceable in court.

Steeve ,

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The emails came at a shit time for the DNC for sure, maybe the Republicans were involved, maybe they weren’t, but that’s irrelevant because this actually happened. This isn’t a conspiracy theory, it isn’t propaganda, this is a bed the DNC made for themselves.

Imo it wouldn’t have made a difference, everyone watching knew what was happening before the email leak, but obviously we’ll never know for sure.

Steeve ,

That edit is absolutely embarrassing. Is your team winning really more important than democracy? It’s “propaganda” when real emails proving bias are leaked because it was your preferred political party? Come on.

Steeve ,

Some mod want to explain why my comments were removed for “misinformation” for sharing the DNC email leak showing bias against Bernie Sanders?

…wikipedia.org/…/2016_Democratic_National_Committ…

Steeve ,

Would you like to explain exactly which aspect of my comment that stated, with evidence, that this event actually happened is misinformation? An event that absolutely happened and there’s not even anyone denying it happened including the DNC themselves?

Steeve ,

Less calories in hard liquor than beer!

Steeve ,

Technically correct. The best kind of correct

Steeve ,

Most old country is dogshit too, we just carry the good songs through decades!

Steeve ,

I don’t think there’s a backstory, just people pointing out that it’s pretty creepy to be taking pics of people without their consent

Steeve ,

I did not learn that in any of my schooling lol

Steeve ,

Damn, you guys are pretentious as hell in this thread lmao

Steeve ,

And yet the top comment here is clearly someone who didn’t even click the link lol

Steeve ,

engineering major… married

Press x to doubt

Steeve ,

You really don’t get jokes eh

Steeve ,

I’m a math major, the jokes are about me lmao

Steeve ,

One of each

Steeve ,

Lol “AI invasion”? If that’s what this is you “lost” over a decade ago. LLMs are a massive leap in NLP technology, but AI backs everything already.

Steeve ,

Lemmy is the worst place to get your information on the field of AI or really tech in general lol. “Technology” is a bad word and the only upvoted posts are just false confirmation bias that tech corporations are in some sort if imaginary “death spiral”.

Steeve ,

Ah yes, the trend of every new technological development ever. Apparently investment is “hemorrhaged money” until it’s profitable.

Steeve ,

Some features are meant to drive engagement, not revenue. Some products are sold at a loss to drive engagement. This article is a very simplistic view of how technology has always worked for a product in it’s infancy.

Steeve , (edited )

Ok let us know when that happens lmao

Steeve ,

I don’t own an iPhone, but this seems like a totally fair criticism and I don’t see any replies refuting it, so what’s with all the downvotes? I swear to god this place is ridiculous sometimes, these people won’t be happy until you jump through every hoop imaginable to use the Lemmy approved software. Only positive feedback allowed!

Steeve ,

What’s your point? The dude gave a perfectly valid reason to not using Firefox, regardless of who’s fault it is.

But also, how on earth would building a functional browser for a phone that owns 55% of the US market share be a waste of time and resources?

Steeve ,

these people won’t be happy until you jump through every hoop imaginable to use the Lemmy approved software

and hardware apparently lol

Steeve ,

This is going absolutely nowhere, I guarantee it. Meta is a business, so yes, they intentionally seek to increase engagement, this isn’t illegal (see every other industry with children as a demographic).

“Manipulative features” is incredibly subjective and hard to prove. “Lowering self-esteem” is also very, very difficult to prove, especially since an Oxford study came out recently showing no evidence linking Facebook adoption and negative well-being. On top of that, proving Meta did this all intentionally for profit is basically impossible, unless they have some sort of crazy smoking gun that I’m sure they don’t have, otherwise they’d be approaching this from another angle.

I know everyone around here wants to see big social media fall, but this ain’t it. At most they’ll settle for a small undisclosed amount, allowing the AG a “show of force” and Meta to avoid anything public.

Steeve ,

This lawsuit has nothing to do with data collection

Steeve ,

No, never

Steeve ,

And apparently don’t display your art criticism to the world if you aren’t strong enough to get harassed? What a time to be alive

Steeve ,

He was very outspoken about the fact that he wasn’t suicidal and if he was ever found to have committed suicide, that it was a hit job

The dude was also just fucking insane from 50 years of drug use lol. Wouldn’t be surprised if committed suicide to troll the world or for his own crazy meth head paranoia reasons, but he was probably just crashing hard.

Steeve ,

I can think of a lot of things worth $140,000.

  1. $140,000

etc

Steeve ,

I don’t want to be friends

Steeve ,

Hey look, someone who only read the headline!

Steeve ,

She turned me into a newt!

Steeve ,

Well then I guess I just won’t die

Steeve ,

Steeve ,

In the interest of making criticisms factually correct, they don’t “sell” user data, they make money through targeted advertising using user data. They actually benefit by being the only ones with your data, it’s not in their interest to sell it.

Steeve ,

I’m at a Data Engineer and I alternative caps lock and non caps lock at random

Steeve ,

But it was a very popular highly rated show

Steeve ,

I don’t know what those lists are, but 3rd Rock and Home Improvement are totally pop culture hits in my mind

Steeve ,

AEUGH?!

Steeve ,

I mean, both those aired well after 3rd Rock ended. I also think it’s a bit silly to call something not a pop culture hit because it isn’t as popular as the two biggest pop culture hits of the 2000s.

Steeve ,

Are you my mom?

Steeve ,

I feel like there was a big push for quantity of content on Lemmy, so everyone set up bots to push content to Lemmy and now we’re stuck with a bunch of shitty content on Lemmy lol.

Steeve ,

What if users find the article itself to be misinformative, is that something moderators will look at if reported with evidence?

Steeve ,

I’m sure that would have really hurt my feelings if I knew absolutely nothing about myself.

Clearly your head is so far up your own ass that you don’t know anything about yourself. Do you really think I’m here to “hurt feelings”? Says more about you than it does about me doesn’t it.
