    Yes, we are purging all neoliberal garbage from this server. Lemmy.world functions as a mouthpiece for state propaganda. There are too many users and its structure is bad for the fediverse as a whole. The drive by downvotes and trolls mostly seem to come from large generalist instances and this is social media for real people we are taking steps to protect ourselves and whatever community we can eek out.

    To make it worse they are now running a "AI" based lazily programmed "bias check" bots. The US and its allies are not reputable thus having them run bias check databases is a joke. This, along with similar AI tools in my view is building the tools for totalitarianism and should not be tolerated. Using automation to lazily check sources using only billionaire funded media as "reputable sources" of truth is disgusting. Blocking the bot isn't enough, I don't want that at all. Anyone who is building these tools are the enemy of free people.

    I am assisting with some final cleanup here then I will pass the admin role and community stuff to a friend and be out. I will probably post my pics to this community but the rest of lemmy has lost interest to me personally.

    edit removed AI based, I guess it is dumber than I thought. I still do not want bots doing any kind of bias check in which US point of views are considered neutral.

      To make it worse they are now running a "AI" based "fact check" bots.

      This is hilarious. Literally question-begging whatever the dominant narrative is, since the material the AI is trained on would surely support that.

      This in my view is building the tools for totalitarianism and should not be tolerated.

      I don't think totalitarianism is a useful term even in real politics, but if you mean autocracy, the system of administrators handing down decisions is essentially already oligarchical. In any case, I do still agree it's intolerable.

        No I mean totalitarian in the mind control sense, in the way they accuse other societies of being. You can not break out of their narrative without severe negative and retaliatory action. The dominant oligarchy has a complete lock down on their media and government and the bounds of acceptable thought.

      Thanks!

      Having not paid much attention to the bits, I hadn’t thought of this. Thanks. Interestingly, the head world is Dutch IIRC.

      but the rest of lemmy has lost interest to me personally.

      Sad to hear and understandable I suppose. If I may ask … what is that’s lost you … a rampant US centric Reddit mainstream culture settling in without enough niche communities thriving?

        What lost me is the non stop US politics and tacit support of wars and violence. I do not care about the US, its politics, or wars between corrupt neoliberal countries. Frankly it is annoying to see nothing but that on my feed while those same people down vote my posts and post about me on drama communities. I really don't want to pay to host literal US propaganda coming from lemmy.world and be personally responsible for transmitting their perverse messaging.
