The best, most succinct definition of an ad I've ever seen was penned by David Foster Wallace, who described the purpose of an advertisement as to "create an anxiety relievable by purchase."
Advertisement is, and always has been, psychological warfare. Millionaires employed by billionaires pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to people who do nothing but brainstorm new ways to make us feel shittier, and trick us into thinking giving the billionaires more money will help us feel less shitty.
Fight back.
we should improve society somewhat

Hey Mastodons, I hear you like open source and federation, so I'd like to tell you about https://gettogether.community/ an open source, federated(*) event planning service similar to Meetup
It's free to use, and while it's still very early development it is live! Try it yourself, share it with your friends, start a team ahd have a Get Together! #gettogether
* Federation is simple and minimal, any help would be most welcomed. Source code is at https://github.com/GetTogetherComm/GetTogether https://mastodon.cloud/media/cPwAJ8QWw5m9yjpJqQk
@c8rz yeah with my middle initial thrown in there, that's likely what happened
@thatdelphox defffinitely agree. i like that here on the fediverse ive mostly been able to talk with people reasonably without dogpiling or finger pointing
@thatdelphox gotcha. i was definitely only referring to that toot i mentioned previously, which was someone who is a self described bernie sanders fan so..
that's definitely gross though, and part of the reason i left Twitter lol
@thatdelphox a toot i boosted a few toots back had a link to a tweet saying she was "five minutes from being alt right"
valid point though i havent seen much of that happen (i dont use twitter or fb where most of this discussion seems to be happening)
@witchfynder_finder hmm, i havent seen any of that. i guess i was misjudging based on a small sample size
@witchfynder_finder i think thats likely in response to her being... not radical enough? or no?
i don't get people (liberals) who are like very vocal about thinking chelsea manning is alt right now lmao... like shes still posting about universal base income lmao
Thats how spying works, you dont show up and scowl at them. Duh. https://twitter.com/ThisBarbara/status/956984923046457345
