I’d rather send it to a non-tankie platform. I regret my previous financial contributions.

Software works regardless of their political posturing. Your baker might be a nazi as well.

If you knowingly patronise a nazi bakery, that’s fine?
zecg@lemmy.world 7 months ago
You say “knowingly patronise”, I say “buy some bread”. Grownups recognize that we live in a society and people hold different opinions. How can you be sure there are no nazis feeding you, clothing you, transporting you? Especially with the ever-widening scope of that term, it’s on the verge of making no sense, being a catch-all term for stuff people don’t like. Instead of engaging others and finding common ground, people are behaving like kids, completely blocking others out for any documented slight.

I live in Croatia, I certainly buy bread from some nazis unless it’s a franchise bakery that these days employ mostly SEA immigrants. The beliefs of the person selling me bread or writing code I’m using don’t come into play at all, that’s what I’m saying. The left is practically falling apart because of principled children who’d cancel anyone for their beliefs.

I assume you’ll delete your Lemmy account and move to another platform soon then?

Only two of you is on the lemmy devs Tankie instance, and it isn’t catloaf

By using Lemmy at all and growing the community you’re increasing the reliance in these tankie developers. So when will you delete your account and move to another platform?

internet tribalism is my faaaavourite <3
do you really need to start fights with people that are striving for the same goal, just because you have differing opinions on other things? do you think that different political parties should never work together?
vxx@lemmy.world 7 months ago
How are you that sure they’re striving for the same goal when their actions point to favouring authoracies and silencing opposition?
Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
have the code they’ve written successfully aided them in doing that?

Right now the political parties in the USA are one side, who are filled with actual nazis, and then on the other side is everybody else.
This from an administration who already ran a sucsessful 2016 campaign based on the ideas of racism, which ended in the preventable deaths of over 1 million people. Yes, covid played a part, but the administration at the time downplayed covid’s seriousness. Thus enabling roughly half the country to treat it as a political issue rather than a deadly disease. And trump, behind closed doors, knowing a tape recorder was on, fully admitted to embracing covid with the belief that it would kill more leftists (since they live in the city and more densely compacted) than it would right wingers (since they live in isolated farms).
And people, willingly voted for him in 2 more elections. He didn’t win 2020, but it’s not like it was a landslide.
Roughly half the country are nazi supporters. They wanted this.
And you ask if we should work with opposing parties? Maybe in more sane times, when the issues on the line are things like communications acts, or tax reform. But not now. Not when the agenda is “burn all those who oppose us”.

Isn’t that somewhat the point of the federated system? Prevent censorship? Enable various points of view to have a platform? It’s somewhat up to the moderators of the groups and the community as a whole to determine what information is allowed on their local platforms.
On the internet, almost without fail, a few bad apples exist. And sometimes the bad apples really yell the loudest.
But not having an algorithm amplifying the bad apples is about the best we can hope for now.
