Because silicon valley thinks it can define reality however it wants and keep telling us not to believe our lying eyes.
Weirdly this seems to work better on techy people who don't like thinking about politics but understand the technical details of this extremely well than it does on normie progressives because progressives just see the obvious predatory reality and don't get distracted in minutiae connected to very obviously empty promises.
The tech press does not ever talk to progressives though...
Does it? None of my normie progressive friends are on the fediverse. The ones that tried it didn't like it.
The tech press is talking to your normie friends?
No I’m saying the logic and propaganda of corporate social media seems to work on them, despite it being in obvious contrast to their ideals.
They didn't mean those kind of progressives. Not the political one. But the ones that actually see beyond VC backed big tech.
I'm not sure I see the distinction you're making here. Usually those groups are highly overlapping.
