  It’s got its issues (for me the main one are the tankie scum devs), but it seems to be the best platform there is.

  The good thing about it is you can move to clients like Piefed and still access all the content / communities.

    As long as the devs have an instance-agnostic ‘live and let live’ attitude and just ignore any instances they don’t politically like and advise others to do the same, it’s not really a problem.

    If they ever try to enforce their ideology via their code: actual issue.

    (for me the main one are the tankie scum devs)

    This right here is the crux of the problem and why the problem goes back so much further. We teach kids to focus on individual achievement, to celebrate the self, and we don’t teach empathy, something that needs to be taught young but the west increasingly considers weakness and a dirty word.

    When fail to teach citizens of a society collectivism, because being a member of a society means you are part of a collective whether you decide to be a good collective that functions or one that operates against itself (herp derp competition!) that does not, you get communication like this.

    “I hate these people fuck them they should me more like MEEEE” “their opinions suck because they aren’t more like MIIIINE” and we act as a bunch of petulant infants that resent each other’s very existence in OUR world.

    If we were taught that it is our responsibility to lift one another up, if we rewarded people in society on the basis of who and how many others they’ve helped and not how much they hoarded for THEMSELVES, this wouldnt be as much of a problem.

    The problem is, how do you start such a virtuous cycle when everyone from the owners down are only concerned with “ME ME ME?”

    Then again you hate tankies, so go ahead and cuss me out for calling out the reality that capitalism, especially when it has effectively conquered the culture, turns people into selfish little gremlins more likely to rage at a stranger than help them.

      Childish take. Perfect example of why western online leftism will always be a failure.

      You wouldn’t be writing this shit if your family had to leave their due to a russian invasion and then eight years later having to deal with another full scale invasion (with a shad part landing in the house next to yours).

      Grow up!

        Oh I think the capitalist “grown ups” as you say only concerned with quarterly GDP and their own individual hoards in charge are doing fine on their own. Don’t you?

        They don’t need some idiot commie child as you say like me getting in the way of this great society’s trajectory. This bull is loose!

        I lost, we leftists lost, and since the capitalists are destroying the very COMMUNal climate we rely on from one breath to the next, it’s too late for us to ever turn it around.

        What does winning feel like? Is it awesome? Do you feel victorious in your capitalist society?

      What’s wrong with calling genocide white-whitewashing, pro-russian genocidal imperialism individuals scum.

      The funny thing is the tankies don’t even speak Ukrainian or russian and have never lived in Ukraine or russian.

      Literally scumbag roleplaying as communists.
