Mastodon CEO Eugen Rochko has spoken out about the significant moderation changes announced by Meta on Tuesday, which will see the social networking giant
Bullshit. Where would you get these facts? From sources curated by government censors and Cold War propagandists.
I watched a damn Doris Day movie last month that had imperialist propaganda shoved in it. No living person predates propaganda, and your overconfidence that you were able to sort it out with even less information sources available is ridiculous.
That’s the idea, overwhelm people with massive amounts of information and misinformation, and people start tuning out and not caring anymore. One thing I did learn from those “propaganda” sources of days past was that the Holocaust was real, a fuckton of minorities were brutally murdered, and Nazis are fucksticks who need to be stamped out at every opportunity.
That is something I’ve actually seen actively changing in the past 20 years. When I was a kid/teen, we never fucking questioned it. Now the Internet is full of Holocaust deniers. Just spreading that shit from person to person like a virus.
We didn’t blindly trust other sources either. Filtering and research is a skill you learn to use on any source of info you’re given. Public schools used to teach us how to do this. Do they not anymore?
No, you’re either misremembering or intentionally misstating to advocate for censorship. Holocaust denial has been prevalent in media and among the powerful as well.
The entire reason it was allowed to happen was because of denial by the media and the powerful. Not some working class assholes with a printing press. And we see it playing out exactly the same way now with the genocide in Palestine.

You’re looking at it with rose colored glasses. There have been Holocaust deniers ever since the Holocaust.
And now we have an ongoing genocide being live-streamed by the very people committing it, and they’re still denying genocide.
Yes. But they didn’t have a megaphone to reach millions with one post. They were rightfully looked at as crazy assholes and mostly stayed in the dark.
