Comment on Lemmy needs more donations
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 10 months agoFrankly that seems pretty silly to me. That’s like saying water is political. It can be political if you want it to be political. You remind me of a guy I say in some Linux forums talking about how Linux is going to to bring the techno-anarchist revolution we all want. He was shocked that no one seemed to agree with his views. I’m not saying your views are wrong but to think a protocol/concept exists purely to support your views is a bit of a stretch.
Federation is a concept not a political view

I’m not saying AP/federation exists “purely” to fit my views, that’s absurd.
I’m saying that the concept of a decentralized protocol with the objective of letting various individual domains interact instead of a single corporate or government controlled entity is, objectively, a political goal. Power to the people. Censorship protection. Astroturfing safeguards.
How is this in your opinion not inherently a political system? Besides, almost everything is a political act nowadays. Even the belief that nothing is political is also political.

Maybe it is just a semantics thing then
