I hadn’t heard of this guy before, but his articulate commentary of culture, history, and narrative through the lens of sci-fi is definitely worth a watch.

Hey friends, just trying to get an idea of how people think of capitalism in different communities. What first comes to mind when you think of that word? Is it your national or international retail giants, resource extraction, or logistics companies? Or perhaps your local diner, hardware or convenience store? The black market? Or something else?

Does Lemmy have a bot problem? - Lemmy.World

After reading and responding to a few unhinged posts recently, it got me thinking about the dead internet theory and potential foreign influences. I don’t remember the level of discourse being this poor a year or two ago. I know other social media platforms have major bot issues, I had hoped this platform would be different. But I can’t think of any mechanisms built into this platform that would prevent a well crafted bot from running rampant. The people that I interact with in my day to day are all mostly chill. We all have our issues, but most everyone is doing their thing helping each other out getting through the day. Then I hop on here and folks sound like they’re ready to break out the guillotines and do something terrible to their neighbors. Are these just keyboard warriors trying to sound tough to strangers online? Are they just kids trolling for laughs? Or bots set up with the intention of raising the temperature? I don’t know, what do you guys think?
