I travel a lot, and talk to a lot of different people. I’ve noticed that while people certainly do have differing opinions, it’s not as extreme as what I see online. I’m starting to feel like all this hate and division is manufactured. Has anyone else noticed, that when you actually talk to real people things are far less divided than various media would have you believe?
Nothing is manufactured.
If you can prove every lemmyuse is a genuine user and not a sock puppet account or an LLM with posting privileges you could make MILLIONS in tech.
But you can’t and that’s all bull.
It’s one of those unfalsifiable and unnecessarily complicated/malicious things, like other conspiracy theories.
In case you’re unfamiliar with Hanlon’s razor: “Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be attributed to stupidity”
Edit: To be clear, I didn’t mean literally, exactly nothing. Some things are manufactured, like the reviews on my dentist’s office, but the general online discourse isn’t.
