You’re correct. They aren’t right wing. They are communists.

I haven’t figured out if I’m fully anarchist, a “left libertarian” who can accept a restrained state, or if I’m coming around to being an ML, tbh.

And I’m not sure if I care. I just want capitalism dismantled and fascism/conservativism opposed. And I don’t want a police state.

But, and this is gonna be hypocritical of me, I feel like the sectarianism always seems to be coming from online anarchist and progressive spaces. Like no don’t join our mass movement against capitalism if you, IDK, don’t dislike China enough? Doesn’t make sense to me.

What instances block .ml that I’d be upset to miss?

Liberalism has an actual definition. Neoliberalism is a subset of liberalism. Either way, neither position is socialist and both are capitalist. That’s the distinction. That’s always been the distinction. Leftist politics is distinctly anti capitalist.

To leftists, liberalism, even progressive liberalism, can never address the material concerns for workers, inequal accumulation, and capitalism’s contradictions because it cannot attack the central tenet of its ideology: the private ownership of land and resources. And most of the social stuff was being advocated by leftist groups in the west for years before they became popular enough for the mainstream, liberal parties to embrace.

I’m an American. Conflating liberalism with leftism is a media game that has successfully ensured the Overton window does not shift left. It reveals the mass political ignorance here. Of the policies you’ve listed, only H4A is arguably socialist.

You can understand the two party system and make decisions to support certain candidates/policies in an election without identifying as a liberal.

Why oh why was an entire article written about this one man’s opinions?

Kinda surprised how long it took to scroll before seeing Ico and SOTC mentioned, tbh.

Crown jewels of PS2, imo. Pushed the medium forward artistically.

Gamepass only ever made sense to people who had time to play or dabble in a sufficiently large amount of games per year and felt the need to play some new titles soon or immediately instead of waiting. Otherwise, eventually your total subscription costs would outpace the total cost to purchase what you played, especially if purchased on sale at a later date. And the value gets worse if you ever replayed a game (s).

I’ll never really understand the excitement about this service. It was always a Trojan horse.

Why would that stop them? This fascist machine didn’t just turn on.

Trump was literally shot last year. Surely that was a more fitting moment

There’s a difference between voters and the party establishment

We were chillin rent free in y’all’s heads

That’s why it’s a called a “reaction”

Fediverse = all activity pub based platforms (Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc. )

Threadiverse = Reddit-like activity pub based platforms specifically (Lemmy, Piefed, mbin, etc)

The name came before Threads was a thing, I think, so just a bad coincidence.

Piefed definitely seems to be winning the alt-lemmy race currently. There are a lot of them in that thread too

I have legitimate disdain for the .world fediverse comm. It seems to exist as an outlet for liberal/reactionary devs to advertise their Lemmy competitors and push people there.

And they’re entirely consumed by the idea of growth even if that would mean shifting the dominant culture rightward, when the leftist bent of Lemmy is exactly why I use it. If I want Reddit, I can go to Reddit.

They literally created the platform. They can moderate their instance however they like. That’s the point of the platform.

And being “authoritarian” is when you moderate your own server how you see fit, like banning the equivalent of bad faith spamming of My Lai, Tulsa Riot, or the 1985 MOVE Bombing Wikipedia articles and pictures in obvious attempts at anti communism and stirring shit.

It’s not like they’re putting demands on .world to tone down the liberalism.

Nah

What’s your point? Are you banning the entire Internet?

All this stuff is still accessible once the bell rings and before they get to school, just like it was when I was a kid. Kids were still going on YouTube/MySpace/ Facebook and more to share things. This argument doesn’t make sense.

You’re attributing the issue of algorithms to the medium itself.

Yep. There’s a reason I moved over even before the v4/2011 fiasco
