There really isn’t. There’s enough for everyone to have what they need, but that’s still a scarce good.

Yes it is. Is there enough food for everyone to have whatever they want? No. Then it’s a scarce good.

It’s neither, it’s a rhetorical “you”. Should’ve been clearer about that, sorry.

The thing about the paradox of tolerance is that the intolerance mentioned there is not regular bigotry. It’s quite specifically about a threat to the marketplace of ideas.

If you want to kill everyone evil, start with yourself.

Yes, we want to say bitch. Bitch.

Fucking Winnie-the-Pooh-ass bitch.

Yeah, it was funny, but wouldn’t say it’s exactly useful here.

Yeah, it’s the ultimate midwit take. Smart enough to realise it’s an abstraction, not smart enough to realise that there’s a base reality (goods themselves being scarce) beneath it.

I mean, it’s pretty damn low though.

Wow, I disagree with every single word of this. You seem to be saying that it’s worth sacrificing liberal rights to attack the right (which you are falsely claiming to be fascists - fascism is a specific ideology, not just an insult for anyone on the right). But in doing so, you become worse than the right.

As a social democrat, I am willing to support and ally with democratic socialists. While we have some differences, we’re both pulling in the same direction. Your revolutionary leftism, on the other hand, is further beyond the pale for me than any liberal ideology.

If this is what your project requires to succeed, then may your project fail.

While democratic socialism is a variety of socialism, Bernie isn’t really a democratic socialist, but a social democrat. Social democracy is the left of capitalism, which is right of socialism in any form.

Before some moron turns up, Nazism is not socialism.

The raised-arm salute isn’t inherently bad, it’s bad now because the Nazis did it. And so, America using a similar salute before the Nazis doesn’t mean America was as evil as the Nazis.

It’s no different in function from any other form of demonising the outgroup. It’s slightly less bad than some because your political views can change, but it’s still a sign of politics gone wrong.

Somewhere that isn’t a little bitch, yeah.

Choice 2. 5 is ridiculous and more harmful to the fediverse than the worst case of EEE.

A new EU law has restrictions on gatekeepers, and using ActivityPub means they’re less likely to be deemed gatekeepers.

No, it doesn’t. The 100M is real. Musk really fucked up, Zuck took advantage of the opportunity.

Disagreement isn’t misunderstanding.

All of Tumblr saw it that way.

Those of us who don’t think it would be disastrous have read the article.

Yeah, that’s my line. I’m happy with federating with Threads, but not being Threads’s bitch.

Exactly. I don’t want to join Threads, but I’m happy to federate with them.

Fuckity bye. There’s a lot of other instances that don’t federate with Threads.

It might be standard practice, but it is somewhat bad in that it destroys potential value. This does not mean that it is net negative, just that defederation is a cost.

Yeah, I’d be a lot more worried about some corporation eating Lemmy than Mastodon, because their communities would live on their site.

All social media has network effects, in which the value to a user is roughly proportional to the number of other users (probably not fully proportional at the high end, but definitely positively sloped).

Because I prefer my ideology with less authoritarianism. SWCC is borderline fascist.

Because they really like conspiracies. Meta is only the regular level of evil it was before, it’s not a new improved variety of evil.

If Soapbox sucks, any recommendations between Akkoma and Calckey? Basically want quoting features.

I’m personally closer to social democracy, but relatively on the left of that area, towards market socialism.

An extra complication necessary to make something work. It’s generally negative.

There’s a lot of room on the left between communism and neoliberalism. Have you heard of non-communist socialism (e.g. Titoist market socialism)?

This sounds like a https://xkcd.com/2501/ moment. Your average internet user probably doesn’t know there even is a Linux, and might be able to install mods at a push but not troubleshoot them.

Let’s just hope the Fediverse doesn’t fuck around.

It’s because they grew up with it rather than actively learning it. UIs have started to hide the actual details, so the users don’t pick them up.

1. 23, so no.
2. Enthusiast, yeah, trying to get into tech for a job, but don’t have the CS degree they all want.
3. No, but not by choice. Not running Linux because I buggered my UEFI somehow, and so it won’t allow me to boot from USB or switch to my Linux partition.

I think it’s because early Millennials are near the peak of techiness, and the sort of person to switch to an open-source, decentralised, somewhat anti-commercial website is also the sort of person to use Linux. I’m early Gen Z, but fit the other two categories.

How does “left wing, but not communist” mean Tory to you? I’ve been demonstrating for socialism probably before you were born.

I’m not a communist either, schmuck.

I’d like to be that variety of pirate, at least in the older style. Not so much a modern nautical pirate though.

I’m not neoliberal.
