    it’s odd that you keep bringing back this pro/anti-american dichotomy when i’ve already asserted that that 1) it has little to do w united states and 2) leftism defines the fediverse (which almost completely lacking in the united states, but this is a digression).

    What specifically did Rimu mean by “content quality” then?

    tldr of the video is that the ruling classes further along the careers and efforts of those that are already ideologically aligned or beneficial to them. the epstein illuminati reveled in their ability to do this on a global scale in the files and used phrases like “narrative management” when discussion platforms like reddit.

    I don’t see what this has to do with Rimu specifically.

      rimu’s efforts have been furthered along on reddit (like the epstein illuminati admitted to doing) and the most prominent endorsements for the fediverse on reddit now exclude the lemmyverse.

      that combined with the dog whistle and with the fact that piefed explicitly bans leftists phrases and prominently leftist lemmy instances like hexbear in its source code leads to the conclusion the rimu is either a rightist or the kind of moderate that both trump and kamala harris were trying to get to vote for them.

        you mean someone advertised Piefed on r/degoogle and r/buyfromcanada and r/buyfromeu?

        that combined with the dog whistle and with the fact that piefed explicitly bans leftists phrases

        What phrases?

        Rimu is probably more ‘moderate’ than hexbear, sure. So? Although he’s definitely anti-Trump and likely on the left of the wider Democrat party. (Although he’s also from New Zealand, so this isn’t especially relevant anyway)

        What specifically did Rimu mean by “content quality” then?

          the epstein files show how almost meaningless it means to be anti-trump and; unfortunately for you; i’m not part of any marxist vanguard so i didn’t keep receipts of my homework for your benefit, but i’d like to believe that i am a leftist so i will try.

          in full candor: these questions are starting to feel like the same sort of sealioning that i experienced during the election, so i will provide those receipts when it’s convenient for me to do so or (better yet) you could do your own homework since rimu’s interviews are freely available on youtube (assuming that they haven’t been removed); the source code is available at its repository websites (assuming the pertinent commits haven’t also been removed); and you expand your search beyond those subreddits that you identified.

          alternatively, you can find a way to subscribe to hexbear’s feed and simply stumble upon these revelations and then confirm them for yourself like i did; whether or not you chose to do this will confirm my sealioning inkling and have weight on how soon i will start to collect those homework receipts for you.

            I would wager I interact with him more than you do, for context.

            I know what he means by content quality.

              then it sounds like you’ve already made up your mind and your intent was to sealion.

                I was seeing if you were going to spread conspiracy theories about a guy who has no connections to any ‘elite’ just because he finds hexbear/lemmygrad toxic.

                He’s from NZ. I doubt much of anything about US politics endears to him.

                  thanks for confirming that my spidey senses were right about your intentions and i struggle to understand why you keep trying bring this back us politics when the epstein files make it clear this is a global effort.

                  i’m also struggling to understand you insist that there must a connection between him and ruling class when both I and chomsky have explained that no direct connection to the ruling class is necessary (and in fact detrimental).

                    I still fail to see what this at all has to do with Rimu specifically or even slightly. By your standards anyone who does anything that somehow inhibits hexbear/lemmygrad indirectly or directly (or spaces like them) is a part of that “global effort”.

                    He just thought Lemmy was lacking, in various ways, and made his own platform.
