I am more sympathetic to conservatives than I were before - and have more disdain for the far left than before - but I'm still a liberal
mostly worldnews
same
ok
some r/neutralpolitics
also i need to be very careful when i make my instance because there is this one regressive far left prick that would add my server onto it and then its there permanently on a black list
r/neutralpolitics is top quality stuff
not a lot of traffic though
ah
interesting that it doesnt get much traffic
the sever im on is listed on there for not proactively taking down hate speech
do you think people are more likely to go to more partisan boards?
Lang, they have very strict rules on commnets - so each comment takes more time
and people don't shitpost
ok
Id like to look into the effects of social media on ideology for a future vid
Lang you make videos?
plan to
im trying to decide my format still
I think social media might increase your intensity of holding your current position
so it kinda makes you more extreme
but not really shifts you on the spectrum - but anyway that is just hypothesis
not sure
can only speak for my own subjective observation of myself
social media has made me more bitter and drepressed though
Planned vids are Millennials and Self-Censorship, A Case Against #WalkAway, Whats Wrong with Totalitarianism, and now How Social Media Effects Ideology.
Actually theres also the position that you end up changing your position to fit in
Ginga, have you ever done this though?
I have not
I presume some people do, but it's tough to say how prevalent this is
I kinda did back then.
But it was easy. Maybe its not true and they are just pretending.
Now that I think of it.
probbably depends on personality a lot
when I was younger I pretended more to fit in - but that fades with age
Like if I meet someone I was friends with and he hates something, ill just mention shit like "you know what? Yeah I can see that"
though I don't think I ever changed my acutal views to fit in
Dunno, I was always told that you can entertain a thought without accepting it.
My basic Hypothesis is: the more you use social media then the more likely you are to become more extreme on your politics.
