The issue is the worst of both sides are the ones defining each other. I won’t deny that I disagree with some of the things being pushed as part of education for young children. But I wouldn’t say that that’s grooming let alone define an entire group of people by that. Its defiantly not good faith.
I think the beautiful part of the internet is if u don’t want to be around a particular person u can block them and they simply disappear. They have a right to speech but nobody has the right to force you to listen.
I don’t think engaging with people emotionally is the correct way to engage especially over a text medium. I think the only real productive discussion that can be had without devolving into a screaming and name calling is rational and logical. I find that emotional arguments and weaponised empathy get deployed on mass instead of rational discussion.
I’m not saying that you should be forced to share a space with such people I simply think that others should not be restricted from having such spaces and engaging freely with people in those spaces.
This is what I’m saying people have been called fascist so long they have become the fascists. Its both sides stripping us of our freedoms and making our lives shit. Its a choice between get fucked or get fucked lite. We are all to distracted fighting a bullshit culture war to realise its just a distraction from the real issues. Funny how the whole culture war thing kicked off just after occupy wall street.
In Australia we have preferential voting so we don’t have a 2 party system. We have the liberals who are centre right, we have labor who are centre left, we have the greens who are communists and we have the nationals who are fascists. The nationals never get any seats, liberal and labor trade places as the government every couple years and the greens get a couple seats. This time the greens lost almost all their seats same as the liberals.

If u get banned from somewhere from one instance ur also banned from other instances. Its basically just creating a meta id for user ids.

Instances still exist its just that u can log into literally any of them with 1 account. I get instance banned from an instance ur still banned from that instance.

Tbh I’m not even sure what the right and left wing means or believes anymore.
Both terms have been so utterly corrupted and coopted that they have become meaningless to the point of simply being a term used to other one group by the other.
Well that’s the problem everyone thinks they are exactly the minimum amount of left and that anyone right of them is a facist. If someone is continuously called a fascist Nazi eventually they will listen.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it” - Joseph Goebbels
Australia wasn’t so much on the extreme of Americans but we are getting there. Interestingly both the right wing and the extreme left got fucked in our most recent election. Mind u I’m not happy with the current federal government they are introducing a pre capital gains tax on everyone’s savings.

Because it would solve the whole issue of people deciding what instance to sign up to. It would make the fediverse better than the mainstream “the one account to rule them all”.

U got a github in of or me to take a look? I’ll defiantly look into it sounds interesting.

Ahh I see I’ve never looked into how atproto works might need to look into it and sees if some of its systems can be adapted for Activpub. Thx for the info
- Comment on Is the Fediverse stalling? 1 day ago:
Ahh I see what ur saying now. Yeah the actor id is hard as it needs to be an actual dereferenceable uri as actors need an inbox and outbox of activities.
I don’t think u can maintain cross instance actor ids. The only issue I see with having multiple actor ids for the same user is that they will have their content and profile split across multiple instances.
I guess u could have a meta id that dereferences to all ur actor ids?

Yeah exactly. But instead of having to implement that auth process in every different fediverse service in however many different languages u simply write it once with an oidc endpoint and all fediverse services can run it as a container in their stack. It makes implementing such auth system a simple config change and updating a docker compose to add a new service.
- Comment on Is the Fediverse stalling? 1 day ago:
Go say something against trans and see how the fediverse reacts most instances will hand out an instant instance ban. That’s a pretty mainstream right wing belief but its almost completely censored on the fediverse.
Normal centrist European views huh? I don’t think so their are a lot of right ringers Europe who wouldn’t be allowed to say what they want here. Perhaps that’s what some Americans mean when they say leftist but that’s not what most people mean pretty shit straw man imo.

There usage numbers are dropping alarmingly. And all the famous people on it went back to twitter.
- Comment on Is the Fediverse stalling? 1 day ago:
Oidc is the protocol by which auth can happen its the evolution of oauth. U need to build some kind of decentralised ledger then u set up a server that checks that ledger against the user provided auth then u simply make this server have an oidc endpoint allowing it to be plug and play with existing fediverse services.

I can write a bot that would be capable of doing such a thing if you would like. I don’t have time to dev for free but if u wanna pay for me to make such a bot then I’d be happy to do so. U do get a 20% discount if the code is published under an AGPL licence.
- Comment on Is the Fediverse stalling? 1 day ago:
Bluesky blew itself up cos they failed to be sufficiently decentralised and became an echo chamber. Activpub systems are less echo chambery but still have a very strong left lean that is significantly effecting out ability to grow especially among the centre who represents the majority. We need more right wing opinions and allow said right wing opinions if we want the majority of people to adopt it.
The fundamental failure of the fediverse that is limiting us is that accounts are not transportable. We need some decentralised ledger of accounts that can be cryptographically verified with a zero trust system. U just set up a oidc server to do that auth and that plugs into every single fediverse application everywhere.

I’d call direct calls for socialist and marxist policies extreme left. As well as extreme political correctness (a soviet term look up the history of it). If u call average people Nazi fascists enough eventually they will agreeing with you and become that.

Ironicly bluesky failed to be sufficiently decentralised and thus became an echo chamber. Federation is the marketplace of ideas in its most pure concept.

Huh I never thought of that. Its a whole new engineering problem the ai wouldn’t be trained to handle the different coefficient of friction cos it would be so underrepresented in the training data. Not to mention how it inhibits vision and lidar.

Basically yeah. Most websites have what’s called an RSS feed it’s a special link that posts events for new articles that can be hooked into programmatically. Look for this on the website most blogs and sources have one 1000007896

Wow. What kind words coming from someone who claims to be so empathetic. I’m gonna make propaganda bots now just cos u insist on being an asshole instead of moving on with ur life and ignoring something u don’t like.
Ive gone and identified the things that would annoy you personally the most and that’s the ideology they are gonna push. I’ll make sure to message you when it goes live. Don’t worry the bots are gonna looove trump. I just ran some tests seems I can generate 10 comments a minute that’s 14000 comments a day that should be sufficient to make a significant shift in the entire lemmy political landscape. This is on you personally I wouldn’t be doing it if you weren’t so hateful and had a little more empathy.
