  • Lots of things, but mainly that lemmy is pretty stable, and its been a year since the last breaking changes release.

    I was also kind of opposed to a v1.0, and wanted lemmy to be considered alpha/beta level software, because I know when we release a v.1.0, people are going to expect the same enterprise-level and bug-free software from a ~4 person dev team as they do from a multi-million dollar company. Also it gives us less freedom to make breaking changes, which can be restrictive for back-end devs.

    But now we can just adopt proper semver, and the next breaking changes releases can upgrade the MAJOR version.

    We’re staunchly against genocide, so we oppose both US zionist parties.

    US democrats shame anyone who doesn’t do a specific set of actions, like voting for their zionist party, or refusing to pledge allegiance to it, despite their party funding it.

    The US isn’t a democracy, but many of us who live in the US vote anyway for various anti-zionist third parties, while at the same time protesting US leaders who support the genocide of Palestinians.

    It seems like it should help, but in practice, its been useless. You end up having a greater diversity of candidates and parties, but if capital still stands above the political system and controls it, it just means more capitalist puppets, and more advertising money required to get those preferred puppets elected.

    Multi-party Bourgeois parliamentarism is not really any different from the ancient roman imperial senate. Its government by oligarchy / the wealthy entrenched class.

    This is also wrong. US liberals are just as anticommunist as their further right counterparts, and their “social liberalism” goes only so far as not to infringe on capitalist “freedom” to do whatever they can get away with. Hence their hatred of homeless / the poor, communists, and colonized peoples.

    As the saying goes, US liberals are against every genocide except the current one. Hence their staunch support for Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.

    Alternative voting methods have proven useless against capitalist power. Countries like Australia and Japan use them, and it does nothing. It might make candidate stacking a little more expensive, and they have to pay more to advertise their candidates, but that’s it.
