they, for better and worse, act incredibly narcissistically

I think the whole "cult of personality" thing feeds into it. Coming back after years and being made an admin immediately while being lauded as our Stalin and all that, I don't think it helped. And she wasn't in anyway ready to handle that struggle session either, let's just say mistakes were made.

I'm gonna look into it and see if there's a way to do this with Lemmy currently!

I think it'd be a good feature to have but idk if lemmy's devs would rather have bots do it instead, someone could open an issue and see what they think.

A bot could be made to do this if someone develops it. Unfortunately I don't know how to make one.

If the mod/admin team thinks it's a good idea, make a post about it and maybe someone will step up and make the bot.

I know I keep saying someone should do this and that che-laugh but I have no idea how to make a bot and I don't have a github account.

I was just suggesting sending automated welcome messages to new users to try to onboard them.

An automated welcome message sent to their inbox to try to onboard them could be nice.

Counterpropaganda posts cutting apart shitty Op-eds, MIC insider articles, journalistic stories, etc. are celebrated and encouraged, and will be separated from the shitpostier/chattier nature of the gossip community.

I think maybe admins/mods should post in c/commrequest first to see if there are people interested in/willing to contribute to a comm before making it.

Edit: this is not about counterpropaganda per se, just a general thought.

No need for temp bans when mods can instead just advise a user to take some time off

We have all seen those toxic and reactionary opinions 200 million times, ultimately it is just getting really mad at other powerless people.

I, for one, am not on twitter and all that so the_d*nk_tank posts provide some insight into the kind of batshit crazy views and opinions being propagated.

 

Read about it!

 

Here is the paragraph before it:

The trauma of these years broke the Russian working class. By 1921, Lenin would go so far as to argue that the working class, “owing to the war and to the desperate poverty and ruin, has become declassed, i.e., dislodged from its class groove, and has ceased to exist as a proletariat.” The withering away of the state had reversed. In place of local working-class militias organizing themselves, the Bolsheviks were forced to professionalize the Red Army. In place of vibrant democracy and frequent elections, famine and unemployment discouraged political participation. In place of a multiparty state with competing parties, the other political parties turned on the Bolsheviks and were in turn banned under the exigencies of civil war. The material conditions for a healthy workers’ state were destroyed. Antidemocratic measures initially justified as wartime necessities mutated into virtues as the revolutionaries grimly hung on for dear life.

 

You don't have to expand every post to check it out, this is just one view option

 

I wanna watch these three the most:

Watching Australian anti-China propaganda

What is conservative comedy?

This is the scariest show that's ever been made.

You can upload them to Mega, and maybe you can use https://github.com/AlexCSDev/PatreonDownloader (tutorial) or this extension

 

What is the best way to do it and what apps do you recommend?

 

I found this script but I don't know if I should trust it, what is the best tool to use?

 

I'm thinking maybe I'll switch in a year or two. I know about Libre Office and VLC.

 

It looks like a fun hobby.
