Just imagine one could complain about the last remaining posts of this dying platform!

Surely it can't be worse than Truth Social or Rumble... I'm assuming they mean mainstream platforms

Has the EU ever watched the media talking heads or read a newspaper, they contain government propaganda and intel agency talking points

if you think you're going to get actual real information off any website in the modern world...i guess...grow up? all the regulation in the world won't change it. the vast majority of internet traffic is porn and substanceless meming and shit posting. humans being human. and most of them believe they are involved in deep, important, change-producing activity while they are doing it. as they sit in their shitty apartment consuming electricity and oxygen, changing exactly nothing and helping no one. If you want to change the world for the better, get the fuck off the internet and go become something that helps people. Be a fucking paramedic or something.

Disregarding the irony of your authoritative stance, as it is your opinion...It's not only possible but better to do both?

I'm with you on the TL;DR that equals mindfulness is more work than virtue signaling, but did you consider that internet arguments,(communication) are as intrinsic to the human experience as porn and memeing?

You can work a job that helps others, volunteer in your local community, and practice mindfulness while attempting to elevate and spread good vibes to others.

I don't recommend anyone try to do all of them at the same time, and in the case of jobs that's not even a healthy consideration in the face of modern life pragmatics. Which we should change yes, but that's another discussion.

Your observations are valid, and correct. For everyone. But it's a "some of the time" thing; It takes practice and support to become the kind of person who can actively choose to put aside those coping mechanisms.

fair enough! i shall humble myself :) and tell you that the last time I tripped on psychedelics, the idea of coming on the internet to...influence other's opinions...seemed childish and naive to the extreme. I only come on here now in the hopes that one tiny number of people might see a comment and be motivated to "get off the internet" and do something "real".

Don't confuse your personal experience with the general case.

How did you come to the conclusion that people meming on the internet are trying to create a better place? They are probably only after recognition.
