You should assume every online space has disinformation, bad actors, trolls, sea lions, and other types of undergrowth. That is why critical thinking is so important.
Yeah there are a lot of reddit-esque comments here acting like they're too smart to be fooled by that.

It's weird that a guntuber is where I saw this posted first... Granted he's very clearly left if you watch some of his videos.
And he just posted a data security video the other day about how DOGE and Palantir are working together.
Which youtuber is that?

Anything Peter Thiel is involved in you know it is going to be fucking evil on some level.
From what I can tell he idolizes Saruman.

Yeah, unfortunately they'll target anyone they can. Brexit wasn't even a law, it was a general, "Hey, how do you feel about brexiting?" Then they went full hog into, "You voted for it!" They do it with Ukraine/Russia, or anything they feel like targeting.
World disorder that benefits the billionaires seems to be the goal. I'll never understand why they want to live in a world like that. Raising all boats makes a much more fun world. Who will they hire if we're in a dystopian landscape, when everyone wants to get you because they have nothing to lose?
Take care of your mental health man. Find peace in the little things in life.

Billionaires are pathologically selfish, often it seems with actual personality disorders that make them unable to understand a world of mutual support and sharing, or to appreciate how much they benefit from others' support. Unfortunately we let these people become far too powerful.

it’s sociopaths who lack empathy. And that leaves them behaving like capuchins. The one on the left is upset at the unfairness. But the one on the right doesn’t care at all. It just keeps taking its unfair advantage.

Yep. Enough so, that unelected Musk could walk into any government building and do what he wanted.

Reddit’s policy changes have made it clear that providing a platform for the spread of disinformation is a central part of its current business model
I left reddit years ago, what are these policy changes that you're talking about and how do they relate to spreading "disinformation"?
My take: removing API access and banning mods who protested saying that this would centralize tooling (removing 3p access), plus banning users who mentioned Musk or Luigi as "violent" are clear indicators that they are disinformation sympathetic, despite the primarily "left wing" seeming content that remains. Also a lot of promoted content is disinformation, as can be seen in minutes of browsing.

Let me throw a disgusted upvote in your general direction.
whispers in your ear
"4‐Chan"

It's really, really obvious, too. I don't have a reddit account anymore, but I occasionally scroll through popular, and r/world is such blatant propaganda that it makes r/conservative look reasonable. Like, damn guys, at least try to make it believable.
Are you saying that reddit is right wing/"conservative" leaning?

According to the comments r/europe_sub and r/canada_sub might be involved as well.

Palantir is pretty awful. I knew a guy who took a job there, a bunch of years ago. When he said where he was going, I asked "But what if they work on something really shitty? Like spying on people?". He was like, "Meh", with a big shrug.
He was friendly and kind to the people around him, but I guess he just didn't care about anyone he didn't know personally right now.

A powerful henchmen of the evil lord with secret designs on overthrowing him to become the new big bad guy power. That tracks.

I've heard that's how a lot of wealthy people feel. They want the absolute best for people in their family, and that's about it.

Vibes. Got it.

Reddit's been compromised for a while.
We really should be talking about Rampart.

Versions of them are here already. Their focus right now is to:
- start violence at protests, especially around LA and target cities like NY, Seattle, Chicago, etc.
- seed doubt in anything related to the republican agendas or what they have done. Usually starts with, "I hate trump like the rest of us, but...." or something like that.
- downvote the shit out of people that call anything like the above out. They'll come in later, one by one, to do this.
They usually congregate over the weekend and during or right after major events (like the protest). Watch for them this weekend or stay away from Lemmy. If you watch for it, downvote them and upvote the people fighting them, but most of all, take what everyone says with a grain of salt.
and reddit also wont ban these subs.

Setting aside the veritable TITAN-loads of shady shit Palsntir is up to, it's also worth noting that Reddit's policy changes have made it clear that providing a platform for the spread of disinformation is a central part of its current business model, so I'd assume that not only is Palantir using it for that purpose, but that they are far from alone.
half of its already bots, so im not surprised and it usually the propaganda bots keeping up the engagements. Also i heard reddit wants to make thier post/account history mroe private so its harder to discern a bot.
-
He probably already bought it through private equity.
spez might sell it to musk instead.
-
Yeah, its like they named themselves intentionally.
The software data-collection company Palantir Technologies was named by its founder, Peter Thiel, after Tolkien's seeing stones.
he also named his other companies, various LOTR themes too. anduril, lembas,,,etc.

apparently he is known to have his own island of f---boys. and his boy toy bf last year got mysteriously defenestrated in florida(they alleged suicide, but it seems highly suspicious especially the bf was complainig about the anti-lgbtq+ stance of thiel)
