50501 comes up on /all feed every so often, with new pictures of protests and rallies and so forth, but I never see information about upcoming events on there.

    Man, it’s crazy how bad it’s gotten with people not knowing how to use search engines, let alone how to effectively use them. If it’s not on their social media platform of choice, it’s simply unattainable information.

      Always been like that in my experience.

      I remember being frustrated asf as a teenager by people not understanding words or knowing how to spell things. My brother in christ, you have a phone and an internet connection in your pocket with access to basically the entirety of human knowledge. Fucking Google it.

        It’s gotten worse, I won’t argue that. But basic stuff is still quite easy/straightforward to look up, and using search modifier tools is still incredibly useful in narrowing down results.

          Up to a point.

          And, when the kind of pricing protesting going on is against a fascist regime attempt, don’t you think that maybe guiding people n to avoid the corporate infrastructure is a wise thing?

          I mean, that and telling people to Google it instead of using an appropriate forum is douchey as hell

      FYI, every single search you do on any major search engine is stored forever and can be used against you. I highly advise not using a search engine for anything that a fasc!st govemment may disagree with. It’s not paranoid when they’re actually watching…
