So, “doomsday” is basically growing poor in Latin America?

I’m half-joking. Serious now: look at how poor people in your area survive, and learn with them.

In this context “politics” clearly conveys “things directly related to governments, such as wars, elections, or socio-economical ideologies”. It is only a subset of the definition of politics that you’re probably using, something like “things direct or indirectly related to human groups and their conflicts of interest”.

We got a whole Lemmy to talk about Israel vs. Hamas, late stage capitalism, elections etc. We could - and should - have at least one community to chill and talk about other stuff, and without that rule we won’t have it. For example without that rule 99.99999% of the content as of late 2024 would be about Trump, as if Americans didn’t have multiple communities to talk about it already.

If you find any German words, you can keep them

No, thanks. I already have enough of them. Like this:

Scheißfrieda! Tu. Das. Nicht! Das Sofa ist kein Kratzbaum, du Schweinekatze!

Well, that’s what you get when an old style journalist has a knack for philosophy. I heavily recommend his texts, even to non-communists - not as some sort of political proselytism from my part, but because the content is useful/interesting even if you aren’t a communist, you know?

Sorry beforehand for the intrusive politics, but it’s kind of unavoidable for me in this case.

This is almost a textbook example of the Marxist concept of alienation. Once a brand takes over a meme, people are alienated from

• the meme itself - because nobody wants to sound like an ad board
• from the creative process behind the meme - because creating a new meme gets that sour taste in the mouth, as you feel that corporations might hijack it
• from human nature and themselves - because memes are a form of self-expression
• from each other - because memes are intrinsically social and it’s yet another social link being removed by the corporation hijacking the meme

Let’s pretend for a moment that we know that Reddit has any sort of decent versioning system, and that it keeps the old versions of your comments alongside the newer ones, and that it’s feeding the LLM with the old version. (Does it? I have my doubts, given that Reddit Inc. isn’t exactly competent.)

Even then, I think that it’s sensible to use this tool, to scorch the earth and discourage other human users from adding their own content to that platform. It still means less data for Google to say “it’s a bunch of users, who cares about the intellectual property of those filthy things? Their data is now my data. Feed it to the wolves to Gemini”.
