Like, the money not going to lemmy.ml but a cut going to two of their main admins

You realize that it’s not some smoke show that they’re “two of the main admins” right? That they are the two primary developers and creators of the entire platform and .ml was the initial flagship instance (which they literally directed people away from during the Reddit surge)?

^ the non-toxic instance users, everyone

You’re concern trolling and wrecking in multiple donations threads created to support the platform and the devs who created it. You can just leave and join one of the alternatives instead. Why wait.

Then jump

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

I like that there is a large contingent of actual socialists whether soc dems, anarchists or the dreaded tankies.

I like that there is a greater anti corporate mindset and I’m less likely to see someone justify something because “well what do you expect, businesses exist to make money”.

I like that there are so many Linux and open source enthusiasts. And privacy enthusiasts. Used to be big on Reddit but became more and more niche over time.

I like that there aren’t pun threads. Maybe that’s not really true culture but more contrast with Reddit.

I don’t listen to podcasts often. But I like:

• Citations Needed: a podcast about media. Basically goes into how media covers some events and topics from a leftist perspective.

• Cane and Rinse: video game discussions and analyses. Each episode covers a specific game

What does that possibly have to do with Biden choosing to abuse his clemency powers to spare his failson from the consequences of his actions?

This isn’t an act of progressive or socialist will. This is just another example of a two tiered justice system in this country but also fuel for the fascists. I don’t see a reason to celebrate this unless you’re a Biden.

Democrats, especially the hardcore blue MAGA types, will never duck the “elitist” critiques.

2/3 of this comment section are a bunch of PMC labor aristocrats running defense for millionaires.

Yeah this a real win for the working class and “progressive” politics.

Don’t forget Hispanics!

You’re nice for engaging in good faith.

It’s a bit funny that people who seem to think they are the politics, Marx, and communism understanders don’t even seem to understand basic Marxism that I picked up in an intro to political philosophy class, which covered Marx for all of about two weeks.

You wouldn’t be here without us

People win suits against the police all the time. It’s just the police rarely face consequences for it, especially as an institution.

As long as there is an appeals process. And it seems there was.

You think this organization’s judgement is some objective algorithm and doesn’t contain its own subjective biases?

Nothing. But a good portion of the electorate did get to learn about the power of marketing and the difference between liberalism and socialism

You’re being pedantic. The dominant ideology of the Democratic party is neoliberalism. Democrats continued neoliberal policies following Reagan, like NAFTA and others. They will consistently defer to the market based solutions and “free enterprise” as opposed to actual socialism. The dominant political user on these platforms (especially .world) are capital D Democrats and liberals. You see this on Reddit a lot in /r/neoliberal.

This user likely isn’t wrong when using this description as a generalization.

^ This is a decently accurate account of how neoliberalism grew to become the dominant economic ideology in the US and Western Europe. Though it was really just a description of Reaganism and Thatcherism at first. Read David Harvey if you disagree.
