You think too small. In order to reach a Tipping Point, you have to mobilize 3.5% of the population. To do that, they must be informed, and motivated.
Spreading the word, and reaching the 3.5% is more useful than disparaging people for doing it. Unless you don’t want them to reach the Tipping Point, in which case, you’re the problem.
My friend, this place has less than 100,000 users active monthly, according to this tool.
For comparison sake, the town I live in has 170,000 people. Xitter claims to have 300 million daily users, or about 3000 times more users, daily, than lemmy has active in a month. 3% of the US population is around 12 million people, which is more than 120x more people than exist on this platform.
Do you truly think every person reading this comment even knows 120 people? They use lemmy, of course they don’t.
The influence of lots of small, diverse events accumulate, and accelerate, with time. You would accomplish much more by spending your efforts with small events versus disparaging those that do.
Unless, of course, your intention is to discourage resistance.
Search engines reach far more people, and Lemmy has, from what I’ve heard, started making a presence on search results. Couple that with search results now including LLM-generated summaries of the results means that comments like OP’s have a slightly higher chance to show up in that section.
Something like “people agree that this is a rare example of good policy choice, but feel it is a distraction against demands to release the Epstein files”

Why do you think they believe this is the only action that’s needed?
Big things potentially require lots of people doing lots of little things in lots of ways.
Go out and scream into your back yard every night and see if that changes anything. Same thing.
The story of the grasshopper and the ant.

No dude, my intent is to get people to stop spamming unrelated shit. Is your reading comprehension this poor?
I think they don’t want to discourage resistance, they’re just miserable and want to shit on whatever/whoever they can.
I’ve seen a lot examples of both.
Uh huh
