I love how Jon thinks reddit is now good. way to miss the mark there man.
I guess they had the opposite development of Twitter, banning hateful content and trying to keep their house clean. Compared to Zuck and Musk whoever runs Reddit can probably be argued to be a great humanist.
Not saying it's a good platform. It's still a cesspool in my experience, and their approach to moderation produces a wild amount of false positives while bots are roaming free. It seems to me very far from a place for genuine human connection.
Nevertheless, for someone who sees social media as being Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, Reddit, and Snapchat, I can see how Reddit stands out as the better option.
It's too bad Cohn didn't get to talk more about Mastodon.
as a long time daily show fan this is the very first time i got really confused by jon's apparent world view. what was it?
da fuq?! or maybe i am just a weirdo
While Jon comes across as a white knight, and I really enjoy his satirical personna, I sometimes find his lukewarm condemnation of the Gaza genocide, and take on other subjects, a bit suspicious.
I guess age makes me more cautious.
I had a lot of hopes for Jon, and he's kind of letting me down here. Not the guy we need, he lacks the killer instinct we need. To take the nomination from the dems establishment and challenge the r's that is. He trusts the establishment too much.
He could win though, if he tried.
he's a comedian. not a politician.
It's not about what he is now, it's about answering the call for what we need. It's time to man up and serve because we need a champion.
There isn't a distinction between those two things anymore. They're the same.
probably because its astroturfing/supressing anti-zionist content. i notice hes pretty much pro-zionist, not as much as someone like SEINFELD though.
Idk I haven't seen quite that, but I imagine he's conflicted, not immune to propaganda and peer pressure. And self preservation in watching what he says. I don't know enough to agree or disagree with you, but he did come out against Israel's bullshit towards the start of the gaza thing when even my man Bernie wouldn't.
He's probably having to toe a line to not get cancelled.
I think he feels a need to defend jewish people, which yeah innocent Jewish people deserve to be defended, but netanyahu and the hardcore zionists do everything to confuse people.
Israel is not all Jewish people, and even netanyahu is not representative of Israeli Jewish citizens. netanyahu has a back log of domestic criminal investigations about as long as trump and he's also using war to keep criminal investigations paused.
