The posts are funny, but I’d say that we should grift the right so that they get off big tech platforms and get into the fediverse.

    You can’t change a conservative’s mind online, they’re not here for a discussion, they see themselves as some sort of missionary and they’re here to convert us, not be converted.

    Your conversions worked, because you were able to do it persistently, offline, IRL.

    I really wish I could find it again, but a while back a professional deprogrammer was in a Reddit thread describing how to deprogram conservative’s, their whole thing revolved around what to do IRL, so I asked how one would do it with online people like on Reddit or other forums

    Basically, it’s not possible, they’re too closed to listen to anyone’s dissent online. Best we can do is shut them out and hope someone (like you) IRL is working on them.

        Thanks I love a good Kurzgesagt vid!

        Now I wonder, is the Fediverse actually the answer? Their conclusion about going back to fragmented forums to return to at least having a little separation makes sense, and the Fediverse is definitely in the right direction to breaking the stranglehold of the algorithms.

        But is it separating enough?
