I’m on blahaj so I don’t have them enabled but yeah before I switched to blahaj I did

Yeah. There’s the “I vote democrat because currently they are the only realistic option for left wing ideals and to involve yourself in making positive political changes” vs the “corporate democrats”.

Having your country only support two parties certainly means that you have to consolidate lots of different viewpoints into single parties.

Sounds like the person who wrote the TOS was all over the place. Likely it’s AI generated.

Loops is currently a one man operation and I imagine TOS was the last thing they were worried about.

People on lemmy downvote anything it’s actually really harmful to the user experience.

Like a completely harmless post into a niche hobbyist community is often downvoted because a couple people on all decided to downvote it for no apparent reason.

Bluesky started off as mainly a community of comic artists.

Mastodon seems more heavy on “furry” stuff.

Communities only federate to an instance once someone from the instance has subscribed to the community.

What’s nice about here is even if you post an engaging post in a completely dead tiny community it still has the potential to get quite big since lots of people browse via all.

Yeah I don’t feel like it feels much larger. But at the same time my blocklist has added 30+ accounts in the last couple of months.

I signed up and never got the verification email. It happened to basically everyone else that signed up too. Weird. Looks like the “official launch” was actually the “beginning of beta test”, weird how they marketed it as an “official launch”.

Many instances also have a matrix group or such if you have signup difficulties.

I think they didnt manage to evacuate all the materials from bases when they pulled out

Thanks for your comments.

How much does the updates thing matter? Good catch on only supporting three years, I’m hoping the phone I buy lasts atleast 5.

Well I don’t know how you like it when a user gets mad at you for something you share and goes back months in your post history until they found something personal you said and then starts insulting you based on that. But I’d prefer to avoid the situation.

And “bad mouth” is very subjective here. They are shaeing an older post which is basically a transcript of the modlog.

It’s obviously an alt. And I want to say I understand OP’s decision to use an alt. I’ve had some creepy stalking and people downvote large parts of my entire post history for criticism of ML.

cheers

Outpacing? The “flagship” instance has a less than 5% the traffic of world, which doesn’t ban someone for mentioning Tianmen square or the Uyghur Genocide.

Leninism maybe.

Marxism advocates for a utopia without heirarchy (specifically capitalist heirarchy) where the state withers away. However, I’d note that I differ with marx in one key aspect, which makes me an anarcho-marxist or anarcho-communist. Marx thinks this heirarchyless utopia could only be achieved if we gave the workers power, and had what he called a “dictatorship by the proletariat”, the proletariat would rule in good faith until the state withered away. I think that when any strata of society gets more power than another, they will try to keep it, and they have power on their side, so they usually do. The state exists for two reasons, to keep itself alive, and to benefit it’s upper strata.

Which is why I advocate for achieving heirarchyless and stateless society without Marx’s middle step. Which makes me an anarcho-communist.

In my opinion, the 20th century showed pretty well that “dictatorship (by the proletariat)” does not end up working in the proletariat’s favour. As the proletariat just changes.

Unfortunately they are more Stalinist/Maoist than Marxist.

I’m Marxist myself and think that they are authoritarian scumbags over at ML.

Yep. To a certain extent I don’t care what your political views are, but if you’re always trolling and putting them up in my face. And have no integrity rules wise, I’m blocking.

Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Russia, Ukraine, Election, Terrorist, Vote (on my alt which is just to scroll and look at animal pics and memes)

An honorable mention I’ve got on my blocklist is “shitlib” filters the hexbears and grads right out.
