the principles behind a successful exit from crisis remain relevant. While the specific policies will differ across societies, the overarching goal remains the same: to rebalance the distribution of wealth and power in a way that promotes long-term stability, not short-term elite enrichment.
Sure. Lemmy like any platform will have some echo chambers with idiots that say something like “I don’t care about facts just as long as it takes my side or it matches my ideology”. Block those users and move on. That is triage right there and sanitation too.
But I gotta say I’ve never encountered a statement like that. Not even on reddit which was way worse. But again, it’s about where you go too.
To me even circlejerking can be fun but I’ve reported people in circlejerk communities when they’re clearly not jerking around and are just taking vitriol as a given permission.
But I don’t really register posts that link to daily beast or rawsthorne either. Among other outlets. On the European and world news communities on lemmy that doesn’t show up much or at all to my recollection, only here on this community that is American centered only (if I’m not mistaken?) Where they also show up with stuff like “meidas touch” which is very tabloid too. I won’t go as far as to call them misinformation like Fox News but they’re click bait and sensationalist shrivel, that’s for sure.
But I do also find problematic that you shared a post from “political memes” as a representation of your argument. That is slop and nobody that I know takes memes as a news source. There is a place for that though and a community called “political memes” sounds about right for it. I don’t follow that stuff and never shows up as shared in what I follow. We’re in a platform that doesn’t have an algorithm and dumb suggestions or ads. Which is phenomenal and the correct approach. But the hygiene you seek is your responsibility here. Even in this community that would never be allowed as a post. You have to distinguish where serious discussions are to be had, but yes, moderators and even general commenters should also have a responsability as well.
So, you can acuse me of bringing a humorous take into a more serious discussion based community. But I was indeed commenting and not posting. But you know what? I’ll be more mindful and conscientious of that in the future when commenting too. So thanks. I guess I needed to be reminded to be more aware of the community I’m commenting on as well.
