Comment on Anon plays spin the bottle
Zink@programming.dev 2 weeks agoI think there’s a pretty big difference between an anonymous website that lets the hateful and the edgy post whatever awful words they want, and the top down corruption of a giant established algorithm driven site used for communication around the world.

There isn’t much a difference between the user base of one Nazi forum like 4chan and another Nazi forum like twitter. Just because you like one and dislike the other doesn’t mean they’re both shit sites with a user base full of Nazi scum

So Lemmy is just one big Tanki-infested shithole and everyone posting here deserves to be bullied, including you?

Moderation and intent are big parts of the difference too.
I don’t use 4chan but I gather that it’s a wild little corner of the internet where you can put whatever crazy shit you wish on a website that others will read, knowing what they signed up for. Basically anything goes so you get all types. You might even call it free speech absolutism.
But Twitter is actively moderated and algorithm tuned to favor a certain flavor of bias and, especially given the players involved, propaganda.
One is neutrality even in the face of humanity’s worst, and the other is actively siding with and promoting humanity’s worst.

If you think 4chan is neutral and isn’t being manipulated with propaganda then I have a bridge to sell you.
