We've seen some fairly significant mass movements gain real traction on Twitter and Reddit in the past few years and, simultaneously and nearly instantly they are both quickly scrambled and made completely useless for that purpose. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Garden_Ramsay@sh.itjust.works 37 points 3 years ago Take a look at the Hong Kong protests. Twitter was a huge way to show the world what was going on. But also full of shills and bots sewing discord Honestly at this point I can't tell if I'm happy or sad about things like Twitter going away. It was full of horrible discourse and bots and misinformation, but also helped a lot of people. Back in the day it was insanely helpful for directing large areas affected by disasters. I just don't see the good uses of these platforms ever coming back from all these primadonna CEOs permalink fedilink source parent [–] kplaceholder@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) That's interesting, but there's one problem: are they really that coordinated? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] ferne@lemmy.world -1 points 3 years ago (1 child) Not to divert too much from your point, but Reddit was a progressive and intelligent community? Thanks for the laugh haha permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Seasoned_Greetings@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Reddit is 1000's of communities. It's just as wrong to say that it isn't progressive and intelligent as it is to insinuate it's all one big community in the first place. However, it's really not a secret that reddit's majority (at least used to) lean left harder than any other social media. Intelligent is maybe subjective and not accurate, but they were at least more progressive than most other social media sites. permalink fedilink source parent
