Nah - back then, that was a problem for tomorrow’s (now today’s) politicians to have to solve. So long as it worked to put Trump in power, and attempt to remain there, everything was going to be A-okay. And that’s my problem with that kind of thinking: it works, but it’s always only ever short-term for some reason.
That will never end… they will keep creating new ones! On the bright side, that’s a sign of a healthy Fediverse. On the other hand, it shows how desperately we need technical advances like “categories” where we can turn on/off whole classes of communities, which is coming in some newer non-Lemmy Fediverse exploration tools (I don’t know how high a priority it is but perhaps it will come to Lemmy as well, eventually).
In the meantime, we make do with what we have.:-)
Thank you for sharing this story.
Since GamerGate was mentioned, here is a link to Innuendo Studios’ analysis called “Why Are You So Angry?”, although I prefer its more broad sequel “The Alt-Right Playbook”.
Though without the kind of linked personal stories, so many people would not be receptive to hearing such analyses, so they both are kinda necessary. :-)
Data and Spock are the same person, I knew it!? 😂
