Extreme? Like Tony the Tiger who is the mascot of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes cereal. They're grrreat!

If you think there's no propaganda on lemmy then I have news for you.
And fake internet points.
And I'm sure top men are working on monetization.
I've already seen plenty of posts and comments that look suspiciously product-placementy.
You look like you like rigatoni. Perhaps you'd be interested in trying SmellFresh Fabric softener. It helps keep your knees bent while you use the tobacco masher.

I see propaganda all over the place on here.

Posts like this are it, even. Hurrdurr we're so much better circlejerk is grossing me out.
Yeah… but having some pride (warranted or not) is good motivation to help build and maintain things.

Yeah, and it's people arguing about cars, Trump, rich people, work, Linux distros, not pooping, and communism.
We need memes, Spiderman memes

Great post. I give you my fake internet point up arrow.
I'll have you know that the fake internet points are still here and I will continue to use them to determine my worth in the eyes of my peers.

Without propaganda ?
Yep they said it lmao
They probably mean advertising, it's a close word in other languages
That's the main thing I hate about Lemmyverse is that the zealots and puritans came over too.
They always think you mean someone else when you say "please stop constantly trying to shoehorn your politics into everything"

Make the internet nerd again
There is plenty of propaganda on lemmy. You just have to realize you will always be fed propaganda and understand there is propaganda on each side of every issue...

I liked the fake internet points, but it definitely leads to karma whoring. So I'll do without.
You could create a plug in that states your and everybody's total karma. Karma is one of the worst ideas on the internet. A tool to enforce conformity and obedience

I like the absence of cumulative fake internet points. I do think it lends a healthier perspective to the community
Lemmy is just as much an information warfare platform as anything on Reddit. The Israel/Hamas coverage has confirmed that pretty conclusively.
Very true! Here, have a fake Internet point lol

It's pretty cool, even though it not even 1% of the size of the big social media monopolists
Perhaps because it’s not
Speaking of monetization and propaganda, for your consideration, "Barbie", now available on Blu-Ray and streaming services everywhere!
Please give me an affiliate link! I need my dayly dose of trackers!

Who's Line is it Anyway had the right idea, the rules are made up and the points don't matter.
This might be a hot take here, but I'd be open to instances running a limited number of ads with minimal tracking to generate enough revenue to keep the instance afloat.
It's why I did use the official Reddit app at first when I started using Reddit. They can't bleed money forever. But when they kept making the app worse and worse and worse that's when I switched to third party apps. And after they killed those, I didn't have any sympathy for Reddit because I was sick of their continued greed.
I don’t want any ads. But I’d pay money to a small Verein or something similar to keep a community instance running. Being a profitable customer to a social network works against the best interest to any mental health.

Reminds me of the old WoW forums night shift.
