  • If you are making alternatives to republicanism more unpleasant and unappealing to the people whom we need to persuade, well, it seems like you are aiding fascism...

  • Oh, it bugs me sometimes but I'm a believer in what the fediverse is trying to do.

    It's more that I just think our loud minority make engaging much less enjoyable, which then blocks the growth needed to get the niche interests and content etc. Why write a comment or post a meme if a bunch of comments are going to be dicks about it?

  • This is some incel logic.

    "Women won't date me so I'll call them bitches and sluts!"

    "People don't vote for my side so I'll say they're enabling fascism!"

  • It's... Fine for me, I'm learning to just eye roll and move on but it can sometimes be fairly u pleasant and aggressively Left. (I think I got called a fascist for pointing out problems with PR electoral systems with a "how dare you oppose a system that..."

  • According to capitalism, capitalism is the only regulation capitalism needs. Capitalism regulated by something other than capitalism is anti-capitalism.

    Respectfully, I don't think this is true.

    Even Adam Smith warned about the dangers of monopolies and the fact that businesses would try to crate them, collide againat consumers etc. That's kind of the foundation of anti trust legislation.

    Now, modern republicans have endorsed the view of capitalism that you've noted but to say that's the how Capitalism works is like saying Soviet Russia is how communism works.

  • Yeah, I like all these ideas. I wondered about some sort of pooled "ban/ignore" options at the individual level. So, rather than ignoring by an instance, if I trust that Janet has good tastes and filters out children and trump, maybe I can just have an ongoing list that draws from her blocks and vice versa if she feels similar.

  • I always thought they were more traditional socialist democracy?

    But I doubt many of their voters believe a vote for them will bring about the end of capitalism...

  • The point is that you want somewhere with a large userbase so as to ensure there's content to enjoy.

    Creating my own seems... not helpful.

  • I'd strongly disagree. I think reddit is generally on the left side of most cultural and political institutions.

    To each their own though.

  • I dobtwrhinj it's any serious political talk (otherwise most countries are having unserious talks about their Left and Right wings) but maybe in serious political theory talks?

    Like, Germany's Left parties mostly don't want to dismantle capitalism but I wouldn't dismiss all conversation about them and putting people on that Left Right spectrum to be unserious.

    I guess... Well, I have trouble seeing the fediverse expand that far then. Which is fine but there have been a lot of pleas to make this a viable alternative to corpo social media.
