What’s the evidence these are the same people?

I was thinking more about this today. Why would I have two completely different personas on opposite sides of the political spectrum? Why would I post hundreds of socialist and pro-union articles, then suddenly switch and post conservative content under another name? What'd be the point?

Why would I go to all the trouble of sharing so much socialist, anarchist, third-party, and pro-union material if I were conservative? If I wanted to post conservative stuff, I could just do it on my main—and I have, occasionally, when I found something interesting.

DMusk doesn’t even post in places I have been banned, so “ban evasion” doesn’t hold up as an excuse either. I wish I would have made these points in all my discussions yesterday.

Notice how this is never answered. There is no evidence, because it's not true. Why interrupt a good Universal Monk hatefest with logic? lol

Fuckin' well said!

I thought it was just because I have a new bigger monitor and everything is fuckass small now on my computer. Looks like OP messaged the mod first. Looks like he was laughing and dissing the mod, then mod replied but I can't see for certain. Gave up looking looking and just cursed my monitor until your post.

the fact that it is becoming less and less viable of a career path is depressing. Far less people will pursue art even as a hobby in a society that requires working and won’t pay for art.

But that is true about anything. Wood working, farming, furniture making, clothes making, soap making, journalists. Even before AI,people stopped paying well for journalism. And yes, some midwest people DID love their job. I know, because I grew up there in the 80's when it all happened. I watched ENTIRE TOWNS die because of job loss. That's way worse and more impactful that some dude not being able to draw comics like he dreamed of.

I'm not saying loss of jobs should be celebrated, I'm saying it's no different that what has happened before. And I was also around in the 90's and 00's when mass layoff happened and white-color people shrugged and smugly said, "Learn to code." To fucking farmers.

Now those same people are crying about "coding" jobs on the horizon of being eliminated.

The vast majority of people work jobs they don't love and they aren't passionate about. Artists are not more special than anyone else. People who are truly passionate and want to create, will keep creating. Just less will be able to do it as a sole source of income. But MOST people have never gotten to do their passion as a sole source of income.

Especially worldwide. Peopl are fucking spoiled. "Oh the UA is so hard now." "So scary." "Art jobs are going away!"

Ya'll need to fucking go live in the real world and see how good we have it compared to everyone else. There are people that work their fingers to the bone, every day all day, just to survive. And do it all their lives.

And you people are crying about art jobs going away. Give me a fucking break!

Again, I'm not celebrating it. But that's not where your "sad" should be aimed. Your "sad" should be aimed at the class warfare that happens everwhere.

I didn’t know you could get shadowbanned on Lemmy.

I've def had the feeling that I've been shadowbanned from some places, but I don't know if it's something that's done on Lemmy or not.

I never really cared enough to look into it too deeply though.
