It’s just polarizing. You’re just making people more staunch in their beliefs or just annoying people who would rather not deal with aggression (like myself)

If your goal is to drive people away and make a space where everyone just agrees with you all the time then it’s effective.

Exactly

I’m dead 💀

Hey yknow that’s a good point.

You didn’t present any ideas or solutions to argue against. There’s no argument happening here.

Nor are there strawmen because there’s no argument being made.

You said that there’s generally a lack of imagination with regards to this stuff and I was just sharing my opinions as to why.

I think most people (correctly imo) don’t see how a large enough company can operate without some hierarchy, which seems to run up against the idea of being entirely equally employee owned.

There’s always going to be leaders (manager or just someone who others listen to) That person necessarily has more responsibility and control than his peers and is justly compensated more (otherwise nobody would put in extra work, say, to train as an engineer or doctor)

That person has their own interests that don’t always line up with the company and may use their influence to guide the company in a way that benefits them.

Suddenly you have a worker class and a bourgeois-esque class.

Most people (incorrectly imo) think that the “unbiased” checks and balances in government counteract that.

If there’s another option that accounts for hierarchies in large employee owned and operated companies let me know…. please

EDIT: large as in number of employees

It def adds some flavor to the social media political scene

The news bot posts are more annoying to me than the politics.

At least here there’s more than trump lovers and trump haters.

I hate scrolling into infinite bot posts with 0 comments

Looks like they got that number from this quote from another arstechnica article ”…OpenAI admitted that its AI Classifier was not “fully reliable,” correctly identifying only 26 percent of AI-written text as “likely AI-written” and incorrectly labeling human-written works 9 percent of the time”

Seems like it mostly wasn’t confident enough to make a judgement, but 26% it correctly detected ai text and 9% incorrectly identified human text as ai text. It doesn’t tell us how often it labeled AI text as human text or how often it was just unsure.

And here we see an aggressive communist in the wild. You have a good day, dude

Ok, buddy

I usually just ignore them.

I find that a lot of crazy right wingers do it to “own the libs” or get a rise out of their supposed enemies. It’s all just a sports game to people like that.

If you ignore them they get bored and stop being so staunch in their awful beliefs. When you fight with them it makes them feel like they’re right. You end up forcing them to rationalize every shitty position.

Almost nobody posts on the internet trying to challenge and reconsider their beliefs, so it’s not like you’re going to change their mind anyway.

I mean that’s what I think, at least

Complicated issues are complicated. Neither Reddit, lemmy, Twitter (x?), nor any social media platform is particularly well suited towards discussing complex decisive topics.

I think that’s awful an immature behavior. When you fight idiocy with aggression (at least on social media) you just get idiots who think they must be right and start truth social or something

I’m fine with the lesser of two evils.

Probably money. Given enough money, I’m sure tiktok will ban any search term

Lemmy has some very aggressive communists.

I’ve been lucky enough to dodge the crazy right wingers though.

Woah there. This is a political post on a social media site.

You better stop with those non rage inducing comments.

People are dumb.

This reminds me of a saying an old programming mentor told me.

“To a kid with a hammer, everything is a nail”
