Palestine supports Ukraine. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/12/19/are-palestinians-pro-russia

The Palestinians, who have long suffered from Israeli wars and occupation, wish for the war in Ukraine to end, for Ukraine to be free. They stand in solidarity with the victims.

Ukraine supports Palestine

If you believe otherwise you’re literally falling for Israeli and Russian propaganda.

This has to be the most braindead propaganda take I’ve ever heard. You think that supporting Ukraine is the opposite of supporting Palestine? They’re both countries being invaded against their will by terroristic governments. If you support Palestine you support Ukraine, full stop. If you think otherwise you are so brainwashed you literally can’t think for yourself.

This has to be one of the most propaganda ridden bullshit takes I’ve ever seen. You’re so brainwashed you think it’s appropriate for any country to be invading another. Fuck off.

Ah I didn’t know that. I doubt it was that much when I first got it, but I’m unsure. I’ve had it for a long time

I’m pretty sure you can pay for a lifetime access to infuse, cause I don’t think I pay monthly.

Cats get rid of mice just by existing. We had a mouse problem when we moved in. The cats never once killed a mouse. We no longer have mice (in the house). Mice are always outside so maybe your neighbor just doesn’t like that?

So it’s inaccurate, but also top secret inaccurate. Why didn’t they fix the inaccuracy in the top secret report?

Social media emerged as a term to describe Facebook and MySpace, places where you added connections between friends and shared moments of your life with them, not a comment section on a website. Using the term “social media” to describe something that existed before those sites existed devalues the actual worth of forums as a meeting place. There is clearly a difference between something like Twitter and Facebook who’s only purpose is to show you ads and things to get you angry using algorithms and places like Lemmy and really any sort of comment section (Reddit and 4chan included) that are simply people talking to each other.

I would expect most people here would be able to understand the difference and how referring to things that are distinctly not Facebook or Twitter as being in the same category. Reddit, Lemmy, your random double edge razor forum, etc are not social media. They’re forums. They’ve existed for thousands of years.

Social media has nothing to do with being social. People were social on websites long before “social media” existed. Calling forums “social media” is just conflating forums (which have no requirement of having any sort of algorithmic popularity or ranking) with those that do, like Facebook.

Your description of Reddit is literally a description of a forum. For the past 40 years it’s been that way.

Reddit isn’t social media, YouTube isn’t social media. People started branding anything with a comment thread as social media and it’s nonsensical. Criteria for social media: 1. Must allow following any user 2. Users must not be anonymous 3. Must be able to interact with, chat, send messages to, etc. any user. 4. All of the above must be the main point of the site.

Reddit is a forum of forums. The point is aggregated news feed for different forums. User to user social interaction is not the main point, and the user to user interaction that occurs is forum interaction, which existed decades before social media.

YouTube is a video sharing site. It has comment sections just like any news site.

If YouTube is social media then literally any news site is social media. If Reddit is social media then every forum on the planet is social media. Neither of those things make sense, therefore they’re not social media.

Sorry I just absolutely hate that everyone refers to anything with a comment section as social media now. It completely devalues the word and makes it meaningless.

In no world are 4+ year old cars with 20k kms on them “new”.
