I don’t use any social media with the exception of Lemmy. No Tiktok, No Instagram, No Facebook, No Threads, No Twitter, none of it. I still see constant alphabet-mafia propaganda everywhere.
Have you ever considered it’s not propaganda and just people wanting to feel comfortable in their own skin? Propaganda is saying identifying as non-cis is wrong. Identifying itself as anything, including cis is just called “living”.
Propaganda is saying identifying as non-cis is wrong.
No, Propaganda is pushing any viewpoint you want to be more adopted. It doesn’t necessarily have to disparage anything else.
Like an iPhone ad. They don’t put up messages that are like “ew you’re an Android user, you’re so stupid and ugly”…they just put up an ad talking about how awesome having an iPhone is.
Same thing.
You don’t need a facebook theme to feel comfortable in your own skin. It’s there so you can make absolutely sure that everyone around you knows your orientation. Like an advertisement.
Absolutely. I had a phase in my life like that. I grew out of it eventually. If I had never been introduced to black culture, do you think I would have ever taken to it?
Propaganda is the deliberate dissemination of information aimed at influencing public opinion, often through manipulation and selective presentation of facts[1][7]. It typically serves a specific agenda and employs emotional appeals or distortions to persuade an audience[5][9].
In contrast, an LGBT theme in a messenger app promotes inclusivity and representation without manipulating beliefs. It encourages acceptance rather than enforcing a specific ideology, allowing users to express their identity freely[8]. This distinction highlights that while propaganda seeks to control perceptions, inclusive themes foster understanding and dialogue.
Congratulations, you’ve somehow managed to read words and still not understand them. That’s certainly not a first on Lemmy, but you’re certainly in a select few!
Oh no, not my mod history! Whatever will I do? You’ll see all the echo-chamber mods that removed my posts for having a different opinion! Oh noooooooooooooooo

If you see a black person on TV, do you think that will make you want to become black?
Absolutely. I had a phase in my life like that. I grew out of it eventually. If I had never been introduced to black culture, do you think I would have ever taken to it?
The fact that you think being black is a lifestyle choice does a lot to explain your other comments in this thread.

This is the dumbest shit I’ve read today. Thanks
Congratulations, you’re about as smart as a MAGA republican then.
Why don’t you add Lemmy to the list of social media you don’t have?
Nah. I’ll be here for the foreseeable future. If only just to make the echo chamber a little less echo-y.
Looking at your moderation history, it doesn’t seem that way…
Oh no, not my mod history! Whatever will I do? You’ll see all the echo-chamber mods that removed my posts for having a different opinion! Oh noooooooooooooooo
Anyways… you could discuss the topic at hand…
