On stuff outside of lemmygrad, we are receiving a lot of hate, especially by those who just moved from Reddit. Guess they lost their hidden privilege at Reddit as their rhetoric used to be almost universal over there, while genzedong and our other subs get censored and banned. And now, on lemmy, their stuff isn’t universal, as we are more prevalent here. Seems like they really want that hidden privilege back
I wonder if it’s struck them yet that, as their neoliberal platform fails, other platforms built on fundamentally better ideas and infrastructure are rising up. I wonder if this challenges their preconceived notions at all? Nah, it’s just a bunch of tankies.
It is definitely inducing cognitive dissonance. The developers are simply are communists trying to collectivize social media, and that will live in their heads rent free as long as they stick around.
I saw someone comment, in an almost gleeful manner “I didn’t even know of the word Tankie until today!” like a kid who just learned about the word “Fuck”. 🙄
nothing about the fediverse is inherently exclusively communist in design, and in fact actively goes against the authoritarianism that most examples of communism systems have seemingly inevitably adopted
actually authoritarianism is when my parents forces me to go to bed but china doesnt do that so…
Every server in the fediverse and everywhere else has an admin with unlimited power. How authoritarian!
unlike real life it takes about 3 button presses to leave and go somewhere with better management
unlike real life the management isnt liable to come for your ass even after you leave, cough china cough
You should get checked for brainworms, coughing fits are a symptom.

lmao, linking the fucking china police station scare story
you know the US openly has police stations, military bases and prisons (in which they repeatedly torture the prisoners, some of whom have never received a trial of any kind) in other countries against their will right? You know the NYPD openly advertise that they entrap and arrest political dissidents abroad?
are you expecting me to defend clearly unethical practices by a corrupt, authoritarian police state just for the sake of argument because thats what youd do?
or start, i dunno, listing off a bunch of crimes by entirely different countries exclusively to drive the conversation away because thats what youd do?
And how do you know what we’d do? Have you ever had a conversation with any of us without blatantly trying to attack us and our ideas? Do you even know what we believe in or any of the reasons that we believe in what we do?
you don’t see a problem with every single one of your ‘China bad’ sources being linked directly to the CIA?
Euros live off of slavery loot.
can you explain the relevance of this comment to the article in detail
It’s about europe
you really think the BBC is a credible source of information? they’ve been sourcing and promoting fake news since it’s foundation, paved the way to more wars than you can think of. please do some research before going to lecture people. you need it.
There’s no need to shy away from it. It’s by design: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1872/10/authority.htm
Terror? Much. Excuses? None.
These sorts of platforms are extremely popular with communists for a reason.
presumably relatively little chance of getting entirely removed from the greater federation, and little control by large corporations?
neither of those are exclusively communist things to want
It’s about the opposite of the nauseating neolib standard, though.
