Totally. What where even those flame throwers everywhere?

Worst Star Trek movie so far.

Trump has achieved a ceasefire in Gaza. Some Palestinians are celebrating it as a victory.

Trump has delivered a ceasefire that was always clamored for.

Mods and admins are connected across instances on Lemmy. I have seen someone get banned from their own instance for posting something, that wasn’t even against the rules, on another instance. These power structures are not transparent and can bite you any time.

Mods can be very ban happy around here as well.

Agreed. I highly recommend choosing a different instance for your account.

The mods on !worldnews@lemmy.world and other communities routinely ban posters that don’t violate the rules, just because they don’t like their political opinion.

See !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for some discussion around mods‘ abuse of power.

I doubt there’s a plan behind this.

Social media wasn’t the primary driver behind the Arab spring. The economic issues were the trigger. People couldn’t afford to buy food. Lack of food will topple any government. Media control only gets one so far.

On the Internet the dominant websites can change quickly. Being banned from Twitter enabled Trump‘s Truth Social. Buying Twitter gave Elon Musk a giant soap box. However new soapboxes are constructed all the time and some succeed.

Asset doesn’t mean Russia has full power over them, only that they’re acting to their advantage
