Fuck PizzaCake. What an original and deep comic š
I mean you can be propagandized into many of those beliefs if you ever try to verify anything youāre told.
But itāll be a cold day in hell before anyone tells me Elon Musk is handsome.
Ok, Pizza has been less lame lately. Before the comics were obvious things everyone agrees with, and basically the same comic over and over.
Now she is getting more and more interesting.
Cringe.

Bruh this is like the 5th poster i blocked for posting Pizza Cake.
Yeah. I have her name filtered in my feed but Iāll do this as well. Hate blocking people but itās worth it to not see this shit. Sheās fucking horrible.

Idk if this is the first time I noticed or if she tweaked her artstyle a bit, but those noses make me think of movies like A Goofy Movie or the like
Huh⦠Doesnāt this imply that Comic PizzaCake exists as a representation of PizzaCakeās interaction with the Internet?
As opposed to existing with a seperate fictionalized world that is.
Meta.
Iāve seen a number of news articles disproving this recent viral claim - saying the ābotsā traffic lost was just the equivalent of Russiaās Googleās crawlers. Honestly though, beyond occasional use of Lemmy, I donāt use any social media so I have no experience as to things feeling different.
Is it actually quieter out there or is it just wishful thinking?
Those articles donāt debunk shit, they just explain that the data on the charts in web crawlers. Nobody but platform owners can effectively estimate the amount of bot traffic they have - and even if they can distinguish today, cause with AIs itās really complicated.
So we just donāt have the stats, but it doesnāt mean people canāt use personal perception. And yes, xitter is a lot cleaner now.

Argument from ignorance
What the article really does is challenge the notion that bot behavior on social media is down as there is a significant lack of evidence. The burden of proof lies with the one who makes the claim, in this case, a European Parliament MP and the Ukrainian government (namely: Zelensky who repeated the claim).
As there is no evidence yet, and the only āevidenceā being touted so far does not in fact show what they say it does, the notion is falsified until further evidence is provided.
Iām sure people are happy to think social media has been ācleaned upā a lot more, but I have yet to see any verified and reliable evidence that isnāt just āwell I feel likeā.

All I know is on Insta Iām seeing far less transphobic comments and one nation supporting bots

I think the internet traffic itself spells it out. Thereās a noticeable difference

There is a real tangible drop. But itās also limited in scope.
So where the bots focused yeah it was night and day different. But over all? Really kind of a drop in the bucket.
So personal experience just varies wildly based on where online you hang out.
Iāve seen several comment sections on like AP articles critical of the Trump administration that had like zero pushback in the comments
I wouldnāt be surprised if there was an initial down spike but realistically theyād just spin up the bots somewhere else basically immediately.
Like a lot of what a data center does is act as a glorified router. Youād need to take out a server that just so happened to host some bot code that somehow isnāt stored anywhere else for the effects to be permanentā¦
Or other countries actually stop taking Russian money. One of the two.

that confirms what have been thinking for a while. Not denying there are not some nazi scum (look at the white house). But the vast majority of the nazi scum doesnāt exist. Itās virtual nazis everywhere to help pushing the agenda of soon-to-be-dead-and-forgotten old boomer scum.

God I wish this was true. If you live in a reality where those around you have not been sucked into the MAGA cult shit and this all seems like some far away conspiracy I genuinely envy you. My family extended family ranging from 25-80 nearly all without exception are MAGA fuckwits. Itās an extremely lonely and frustrating reality. There are plenty of young MAGA twats and this IS NOT going away with the death of boomers and without a fight.

I have a couple of þem in my family, too. Će correlation between religion and MAGA is really strong in our case; I donāt know how it is for þe rest of you.

At the least I donāt have to read that narrative longer hereš
Just because I hate electoralism & empires, doesnāt make a Yandex LLM.š
āJust because I hate electoralism & empires, doesnāt make me a Yandex LLM.šā I donāt understand. The first part of your sentence describes two key criticisms against modern day Russia, than you say that doesnāt make you a Yandex LLM. Huh?

Iāve been to far too many Thanksgiving dinners that disprove this hypothesis.

Yeah⦠these people do exist, and there are WAY WAY more of them than we ever realized.
The old conventional knowledge - that people become more liberal and open minded over time and the bigots are a loud minority? Yeah⦠that turned out to be completely wrong. Whatever else you believe, continuing the nonsense pretense that these shitheads donāt actually exist is wishful thinking.
The old conventional knowledge - that people become more liberal and open minded over time
Huh? Itās always been considered the opposite.

Thanksgiving (Canada) Annual holiday in October Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day, is an annual Canadian holiday held on the second Monday in October.
Iāll believe you.
