Asklemmy has been a great place for information and resources. What are other some great resources everyone should know?
Kiwix is my recommendation. https://www.kiwix.org/
I don’t recommend it to others because it’s a fucking minefield, but once you know how to identify someone trustworthy, youtube becomes a top-tier source of sources.
Unfortunately it’s mostly garbage, and you have to avoid a lot of the entertainment stuff or the algorithm will pick up on that and start giving you more “entertaining”, unreliable youtubers and fewer good ones.
I have the algorithm completely turned off because I lean FAR left but I was getting a lot of incredibly vapid, conservative, Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Steven Crowder, Elon Musk hero worship, military hoo-ra pew pew pew! guns are cool, right guys!?!?!, defense contractor, anti-mask, grind culture, toxic masculinity BULLSHIT recommended to me.
Now, I get NOTHING recommended to me AT ALL other than the safest stuff from my subscriptions. I prefer it…but it’s hard because it doesn’t even track my watch history anymore unless I specifically add a video that I like to a playlist. It’s easy to see how impressionable, smart young men can be propagandized into becoming anti-labor, card-carrying members of Y’all Qaeda, having this billionaire worship, utter horseshit shoved down their throats all day 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢.
IMO, it’s going to cause the downfall of society, having these dangerous sociopaths enriched and amplified by social media algorithms.
edit: this comment motivated me to start a new community for Jordan Peterson debunking. 😅😅😅
