I sort of want to see what these things are like but I don’t want to give them any data or contribute to them in any way haha. I’ve heard the Queen of Canada uses it which intrigues me

    OP’s programming mandates it.

    Edit: the next step is to accuse anyone who disagrees with that characterization of being a “Russian” or “Chinese” bot or even a “tankie” if I say anything that wouldn’t belong in Bob Dole’s campaign platform from 40 years ago. It’s so pervasive among lemmy.world users that “programming” is the only word I know of that captures how brainwashed into fighting this tribalist “culture war” they actually are.

      It’s like far-left rhetoric (especially the kind that seems to come from people who have never seen how e.g. spoilers work or who have never had to find a compromise) isn’t actually that popular, so you see pushback from the instance that dominates the user population, especially with it having users who aren’t “ideologically aligned” with a specific instance and who may have a perspective outside the bubble. I don’t know, just a theory.
