  • If you put new information on top of a pixel, the pixel is changed and it is no longer the original information. Your headphones example would be more accurately applied to the visual medium as running custom color profiles, like adjusting saturation and contrast. The original information is there (music waveform or pixel color) but affected by delivery (bass boost or colorblind adjustments).




  • Your first phrase says op places the Entire lack of diversity on the lack of trolls

    No, the person I replied to said that, they were replying to OP.

    That’s quite black and white view from your part IMO.

    If your answer to “where are the different opinions” is “no trolls,” then you are putting the lack of diversity on trolls. Which is black and white, yes, and why I disagree with it.

    Sometimes we have the tankie trolls here on lemmy too

    Which is why “no trolls” is a bad answer to OP’s question.



  • So is that your response to OP’s question then? They’re wrong about seemingly everyone agreeing because they are mistaking respect for agreement? They mention wanting to see dissenting opinions respectfully, so I don’t think that’s the case. They are talking about how the majority seems to be on the same wavelength, not that there is a lack of polarization. Again it seems like you have an answer to a question OP didn’t ask (“Why aren’t there more trolls and tribalism on the fediverse?”) because that’s what you want to talk about instead.


  • But you’re placing the entire lack of diverse opinions on the lack of trolls, which is wrong because it assigns all diverse opinions as troll opinions. Really I think you’re just answering a different question than OP asked to frame it as a positive for the fediverse, which doesn’t address the actual concerns. As you say, real life people are better at voicing different opinions, and this isn’t an ad-supported network, so where are the non-troll different opinions?

    I also gotta disagree with the idea that the fediverse is adverse to “user number go up!” mentality, the most common response to me saying a post is off topic or low quality or something is “it doesn’t matter because we need more content to attract more users!”











  • No, I get it, I think it’s wrong.

    Their narrative is that she was driving her car at them, her being unarmed is either irrelevant (because they don’t claim she was attacking with a weapon) or incorrect (if the vehicle is a weapon.)

    So again, just repeating their narrative of “an unarmed woman was trying to kill an agent” without major transformation is just repeating their narrative. ICE claims she was attempting to kill, and this meme portrays her as someone about to kill. No satire or parody, it’s not emasculating because it’s literally just reinforcing their claims. They claim she was a danger and a threat, this meme portrays her as a danger and a threat and the ICE nazi in imminent danger.

    Instead of just flipping it and having ICE being the one hunting down a defenseless person trying to run away, which would make sense and not thoughtlessly reinforce the ICE narrative.
