It just doesn’t resonate with voters.
I think many voters “feel” tech getting junky, but the connection to why is just way too complicated for most to dig into. It’s not a direct line like tipping waiters or getting abortions.

I’m with Shepard on this one, even if he’s being a jerk about it.
Lemmy is a filter bubble, an echo chamber. You miss information that would be personally important to you, but is excluded because it doesn’t fit with the US Democrat party line, and the very specific part of it Lemmy’s politically active base likes.
Like, I’m a raging Trump hater, but I’m kind of aghast at how many knee jerk reactions (like, to me, your original reply) I get when I imply something vaguely critical about the Democrats.
What does that have to do with internet privacy legislation?
This is not just a partisan issue. As the article points out, its been like this for 30 years. The Dems failed to pass any meaningful legislation too.
It’s because it makes gobs of money that both parties are taking, and it also kind of projects US power to other countries since US tech is doing most of the data collection.
It’s crazy that Twitter has such an outsized influence on the public, and I think it’s because news outlets amplify it so much.
It doesn’t have that many active users. And news rarely covers other platforms when something makes a lot of noise and reaches many eyeballs.
Some places on a “budget” like Ao3 just rate limit hard.
I don’t like that solution at all though.
That’s what I figured, but I am envisioning a future where lemmy is huge and the network of admins is quite sizable.
I guess that doesn’t change much?
Would lemmy instances do this?
I know they can’t afford to now, but hypothetically? A lot of people here don’t seem to like data scraping for AI.
Well it would be great if more of their models were ‘freeware’ too.
Microsoft just loves to have their cake, eat it… and not share it.
If this is a polite way of saying “go somewhere else to lightly criticize democrats,” I don’t accept that. I can at least hope Lemmy can do better, and try to change it.
Of course having a good information diet is critical. But that’s besides the point? I don’t think this thread would be a thing if all our information diets were great.
