I finally got the kick I need to go 100% in on Lemmy. I don't know why I am surprised. At one point they said shadow banning was only ever supposed to be used against bots, but reddit doesn't care anymore.

For the most part that’s the whole of society, people in general seem to have become quite shallow in the last 15 years

I know I sound like a broken record wearing a tinfoil hat, but I would argue a lot of that is not actually regular everyday people, but astroturfers and conflict bots being used by those who wish to discourage regular people from having conversations, or want to shape a narrative in their own specific direction that benefits just themselves.

If all the regular people could talk to each other and come to agreement on things, imagine the level of power they would have. Those who are in power now would want to discourage that from happening.

If you can't control the 'Town Square' then the next best thing is to destroy it, by polluting it so that no one can use it.
