😂 Good one.
It allows individuals to distribute content to a network of hundreds of millions of people, with a very low barrier to entry, and in ways that are not centrally controlled. If my government is banning certain types of speech or information, websites in other countries may still be accessible with it. People in my own country may even make sites with that information, as it’s fairly easy to bypass those laws. The Internet holds all sorts of content that pisses off billionaires. Piracy, privacy tools, the Internet Archive, government document leaks. Think how I can read about the Epstein files so easily by searching or asking about it here on Lemmy - and then think about how much harder it is for me to find that information from a news company, if it’s even possible at all. Why do you think governments and billionaires around the world are so eager to monitor and centralize and rewrite the fundamental workings of the internet? They are coming after the internet because it is a threat to them.
I look forward to your counterargument.
What the fuck
No. “What the fuck” is in my ass? Oh, it’s a billionaire.
Ew Crowder.
You smell like a bot.
Dude, if you can find a bot whose job it is to disparage the very environment that let’s bots exist then let me know. Viva la meatspace! Viva la luddites!
Dexter morgan Reference? But shitty meme tho.
Finally, an honest take. Thank you.
Wow … the online dweebs are really tasking offense. Must have hit the mark.
You are using the format of the meme with the shitty guy. They are not taking issue with your comment. This one’s on you.
“Boy, I said something and literally every single person disagrees. I must have been right!” That’s the exact same mental gymnastics that leads to “own the libs.” Be better than that.
The post is killing it on mastodon. Not a many screen fiend dweebs. It’s the terminally online that take offense … CaptTerminallyOnline.

Using, or sabotaging? Most people who get their sex from something other than a screen think the web is one big enshittified cesspit. Not you basement dwellers. You’ll defend your addiction to the end.
