I get where 0x0 was going with that, but I also don’t expect lemmings (ex-redditors) to understand it either.

stop using the internet outside of what is required to function in society.
I agree with the sentiment. But also consider the threshold for “what is required to function in society” is experiencing endlessly expanding feature creep. The great mass hysteria of 2020 dealt the heaviest blow.
I don’t really see the problem here. So people dumb enough to use Meta or Tiktok etc become anxious, depressed and suicidal. That is actually awesome. All of the right people are getting hit with consequences of their poor decisions.
I bet most people reading this article, as well as publisher and authorship all groveled before the mighty state when they were told to stay in their homes over a flu and to take a medical product under duress.

Description: tool for tunneling IPv4 data through a DNS server
This is a piece of software that lets you tunnel IPv4 data through a DNS
server. This can be usable in different situations where internet access is
firewalled, but DNS queries are allowed.

Republicans: “Everybody watch out! There is a Democrat plot to steal the next election!”

Do you people fucking hear yourselves?
This feels like watching pro wrestling
I’ll be the guy that says it: Lemmy already leans pretty hard in normie demographics. It is a trait inherited from Reddit, as many lemmy users are former redditors.
I’d always been amused at the fact that boomer school librarians were primarily the ones responsible for “teaching” students how to “use computers”. It really hammered home the point early on for me that you learn primarily by doing, not by being instructed.
How was the concept first explained to you, or when did it click?
I was too young to have it explained. I was just given access to computers since as far back as I can remember. And internet-connected computers almost just as far.
Do you understand how insane it is to have the aggregate of all human knowledge
I disagree with the notion that all human knowledge is reachable through the internet. I didn’t used to have this perspective until only a few years ago.
Were your parents super strict about internet usage?
I had absolutely no supervision, aside from concern over time spent playing games (which I think they perceived differently from non-game activity, which can be equally as unproductive).
How quickly did you find workarounds?
Usurped de facto control over the family router as a by product of being the only one both willing and able to “help” “administrate” it. It remained that way until the day I moved out.
I think that millennials got to enjoy a once-in-human history opportunity of digital literacy asymmetry between immediately adjacent generations. We had unprecedented freedom.
leading to significant manipulation of public discourse
Pretending that this wasn’t already a massive issue on places like reddit since years ago, with or without bots, is a little bit disingenuous.
WEF digital IDs by another name
Advertising and advertisers are the reverse midas touch of the internet. Everything they touch turns to shit.
Case in point, just look at reddit.
Imbibing alcohol is loser shit.
I find it much easier to start with a minimal canvas, and then to add only the things I want or need. Than to try to tear down aggressive features until something sane begins to appear from beneath.

Why is there not more ire, anger, and vitriol online?
As a more general answer, the web has been neutered with overmoderation and safe space mentality. Ire, anger, vitriol, which are all normal and valid emotions, systematically get hidden away.
Bringing it back to $NEWS_TOPIC, why are people using a software whose changes can bring them to ire, anger and vitriol? It sounds similar to growing angry with an abusive lover. “Why does he hit me?”.
Your computer, their software.
It is helpful to at least be able to represent your ideological opponents accurately. (Although I understand it is tempting to deliberately misrepresent them)
You’re three points for republicans informs me that you spend nearly all of your time within an informational bubble.
