    I mean the logic isn’t entirely wrong… though at least familiarize with snippits. I mean I don’t have to read Mein Kamph to say Naziism is evil.

    Of course, there is a huge difference, even in snippits and small amounts of information it’s quite clear that all nazi followers, support racism.

    While modern marxists do not call for violence etc… and specifically is calling for changing of things that, are not physical traits that require bloodshed.

    Somehow I half expect to find out space X through some crazy means accidentally stumbled into time and interdimensional travel. He will bring in another dimensions hitler, argue it’s a good guy… Trump will explain that this one’s ok because in his dimension none of the people he killed were called jews, so he’s ok, Hitler will meet with Nyetnyahu, the 2 will quickly become friends and the republicans will declare opposing alt-hitler as anti-semetic.










  • I don’t think it helps that politics absolutely dominates Lemmy, where Reddit has enough diverse subreddits that you could probably just avoid politics all together.

    I think that’s the problem with all “alternative” social media… both ones that I like and stand behind like lemmy… and the opposite end, the Parlors, MeWe’s, Truth Social etc…

    The point is… mainstream people talking about shows, video games etc… rarely hit any kind of limitations in the public spaces. I myself still go on reddit to see communities of specific shows, games etc… and… it’s fine for that. If I were to try and make the suggestion for a show or movie subreddit to move to lemmy, it would be a tough case.

    The ones who see the flaws and limits of the corporate platform… are the ones either teetering at the edge of socially acceptable, or over it.

    Whether that’s say us lefties that believe All Cops are Bastards, or right wing guys that think america was better in Jim Crow era. Bottom line is… people looking for alternatives, are doing so because the existing platforms are likely to censor them… which means the alternatives will be disproportionately more extreme.



  • Guessing he made a pretty solid decision that he wouldn’t even think about helping anyone for at least a year.

    Hence why he’s record rushing executive orders.

    “Don’t lower prescription costs”

    “Kick out immigrants”

    “No due process”

    “Rename gulf of mexico”

    Hell only one I can even see that’s pretending to help people is “lower inflation by cutting regulations”. (Obviously it’s bullshit, but, it’s kind of pretending to believe that corporations are in a big hurry to pass the savings onto the consumers".



  • We’re talking about the need for a system to deal with major access of a main facebook/insta/twitter etc… to a majority of people.

    IE of the scale that someone can go “Hey I bet my aunt that I haven’t talked to in 15 years might be on here, let me check”. Not a common occourance in a closed off discord community.

    Also, noting that doesn’t fully solve the primary problem… of still being at the whims and controls of a single point of failure. of which if Discord Inc could at any point in time decide to spy on closed rooms, censor any content they dislike etc…



  • To me the reality of it is so damn stupid, If this were back to lying about quake, that’s one thing. He’s claiming on games with continual progression however. Of which even if you have amazing skill, it’s meaningless without time. IE it would be well understood that if someone is in those leaderboards legitimately, they’ve been living the NEET lifestyle (IE spending almost all waking hours playing the game), not say… on a nation tour following around a presidential candidate, while also forming a new government consulting group, spending considerable time on twitter as a user… and being a micromanaging incompetent CEO at 4+ companies.


  • Concept is however that if a new instance is detatched from the old one… then it’s basically the same story of leaving myspace for facebook etc… we go through the long vetting process etc… over and over again, userbase fragments reaching critical mass is a challange every time. I mean yeah if we start with a circle of 10 trusted networks. One goes wrong it defederates, people migrate to one of the 9 or a new one gets brought into the circle. but actual vetting is a difficult process to go with, and makes growing very difficult.
