Several pounds of berries in an hour including travel time and processing of said berries? I highly doubt that.

Maybe you should set more realistic goals than trying to become a billionaire.

If you’re not being paid adequately you’re free to go work for someone else. I don’t get why people act as if they’re slave labor. If you don’t like working for someone else then start your own company.

On virtually any job you’ll earn enough in an hour to buy more mushrooms and berries than you can pick in that same time.

As if you don’t get anything in return for the effort you put in and are just doing charity to benefit someone else.

Interesting that people find this surprising when it’s not surprising to me at all. This is the kind of people young men go to when they get chased away from more mainstream platforms.

To claim they’re not trying to combat the problem is a lie. I used to get several bot followers a day around a year ago. Now I got none and I’ve lost a ton of subscribers because the bot accounts are getting deleted. The amount of bots was also the reason Elon wanted to turn down the deal to begin with because twitter lied about it.

Also, misinformation can be combated with community notes. An open source feature I’m not aware of any other social media platform having.

Name a social media platform without bots pretending to be real people.

So you want to ban the platforms you dont like/use but leave the ones you do?

The other is the same thing said differently. Not misinformation either.

5 million actual people telling you that ‘x’ political view is common and popular, causing you to doubt, or at least temper your own personal beliefs.

This isn’t misinformation. Lemmy gives you skewed image of what political views are popular. Truth social does the exact same thing but from the opposite perspective. These are just groups of people self selecting onto platforms they most feel comfortable at. Having different political views to that of yours is not misinformation and platforms shouldn’t be banned because of it.

Tell that to Musk; X bans TONS of people over their viewpoints.

Again, not in any way exclusive to twitter. Go take a look at lemmy.ml/modlog for example. These are both privately owned and the people running them are free to moderate however they desire. If you don’t agree with it, then don’t go there. That’s what I do with .ml instances too.

I’ll rather choose myself which social media platforms I use rather than let the authorities decide for me. Banning things you don’t like is not a solution because soon the things you do like are getting banned too because someone else doesn’t like them. This is so incredibly narrow sighted.

And Lemmy, Mastodon, Bluesky etc.

Is there no disinformation on other social media platforms?

How is that even remotely equivalent comparison?
