Yeah, me again. I don't know why all the Blairites are posting bangers today, but this time it's Johnny McT's turn to argue for social democracy.

Hello. For some reason I don't have access to slrpnk.net and feddit.org. I tried to connect from another IP and it worked. My IPv4 is 89.169.34.191. Is it banned on these instances?

I need your opinion on this problem:

My personnal infos are on the web, is it better to try to have them removed or simply ignored it?

Basically I'm wondering if trying to remove it would not make me shine outside of the crowd more than juste leave it and act as simple citizen

And, warning, these infos are not compromising but they are personnaly infos

The longer you are on lemmy, the more you can step back and see the ebb and flow of manipulative posts in and out of circulation to create rifts between people and create short-lived topics of ‘conversation’ to busy the people here. The general anti-capitalism direction is pandered to singing the tune people think they want to hear and is no different I’m sure to the many bot posts aimed at facebook users to play the tune they also want to hear to manipulate, and get them to come back.

I’m sure facebook, twitter, and the other shitty social sites are far worse but for over a decade, a deep level of warfare has been fought online via manipulation and disinformation and young people are far too easily manipulated by a post because well, obviously a real person wrote it, right? Right? There’s even a picture of their face and everything!

So, I’d like to ask lemmy users to be particularly on guard, both here and any other site they visit with ‘user’ postings on in the future, and to perhaps step back, stop visiting sites, posts, forums, etc outside of your hobbies, and ignore it all. That’s the only way to be immune to the noise and to lead a better life. Whatever that direction is for you. Also, help your friends ignore the noise and help them focus on visiting information about just their hobbies.

Early internet was just information about hobbies and for the betterment of people and furthering knowledge. Let’s take that back.

Whole article is good, these paragraphs in particular:

People at the heart of the Labour government seem to be more preoccupied about whether or not it is governing within the Labour tradition than whether it is governing well. Because frankly, the only time that Labour has been able to secure two consecutive full terms in power is when, under Tony Blair, it had a clear theory of economic growth: that of economic liberalism, openness to the world and to the EU in particular.

I don’t think it is going to come as a galloping shock to readers to learn that I think Labour should give that approach another go. But even if you disagree, Labour surely needs to commit to something — whether it is properly funding Ed Miliband’s plans for the green transition, or something else entirely. But the one place it surely should not be looking at are failed approaches from its own history, which did not work at the time and are not going to work any better now, with a less loyal electorate far less inclined to let Labour work through its midlife crisis in public.

EDIT: The headline, by the way, is a reference to a great moment in Tony Blair's last speech to Labour conference back in 2006:

They say I hate the Party, and its traditions. I don't. I love this Party. There's only one tradition I hated: losing.

Where can I find a guide to de-Google my life.

I for one am disgusted at the idea
