@lina Nostr was promoted on a bunch of right-libertarian and conspiracy theorist podcasts and radio shows such as Free Talk Live and The Corbett Report. So yeah, you are going to see a bunch of surface level conspiracy shit coming from them.
@xianc78 way it seems to be they're just bots existing to push lukewarm rightoid shit like WOW NO SHIT AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT?!?!?!?!??! ITS NOT LIKE LITERALLY EVERYONE OPPOSING AMERICA WAS SAYING THAT SINCE THE COLD WAR BEGAN
@lina >while minds is indeed just a bunch of lukewarm rightoid propaganda pics
I suspect that most of those accounts are fed-run bots, kind of like the LibertyPatriot bots we have on here. They don't reply to anyone else. They post memes and scrape data on people who interact with them as most boomercons are too tech-illiterate to realize it.
@xianc78 well nowadays nostr is just a pedonigger shithole because of how hard it is to ban someone on it apparently, while minds is indeed just a bunch of lukewarm rightoid propaganda pics, it's not even memes or anything of value its just a fucking message that nobody cares about
@lina Who even uses Minds anyway? It always seemed to be "the other Gab". A lot of alternative outlets have accounts on there because they want to be on as many alt-platforms as possible, but they treat them like overglorified RSS feeds, only posting links to their latest videos because nobody wants to spends hours checking notifications on multiple platforms.
>nobody asked for minds to federate and it doesn't even federate correctly, just why???
I think they were trying to implement federation for a while. It seemed like ActivityPub federation was going to be standard for alt-tech after Gab briefly joined the fediverse. I even remember Brighteon and Steemit briefly federating.
@xianc78 yeah i found it strange that they tend to be silent when called out for being boring faggots, of course it could also be notifs not reaching me cuz what the fuck man, nobody asked for minds to federate and it doesn't even federate correctly, just why???
@lina I think that meme in particular could be interpreted as saying that you should be prepared to defend yourself when the feds roll into your homestead/intentional community, not overthrowing the government. Hence the guy being in the woods and not in some federal building.
@xianc78 you know, you saying they're feds might have some merit, i just realized how many of these posts are just fedposts "RISE UP AND THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY FIGHTING AN ONE MAN WAR AGAINST THE STATE" like this one https://eientei.org/notice/Amw1IRZsCqNZ5DNVJo
@lina I know some IRL conservatives and right-libertarians who openly say that they will answer the door with an AR-15, if the government suddenly came to their home to troon out their children, force vaccinate, confiscate their meat, etc.
@xianc78 yeah but the fact you can interpret it that way too means that there's credibility to them being just feds trying to bait out misfit teens into throwing their lives away
