At least let me relax: Noooooooo

Still not banned. Not using it though

I wasn’t equating, I was making an analogy to the way people are passive about an worsening situation.

The problem with voat was that is was a non federated freeze peach nazi bar, so no, this would not be according to my theory

It’s wild that these cloud providers were seen as a one-way stop to ensure reliability, only to make them a universal single point of failure.

Yes, it has always been a death of a thousand papercuts, like with fascism. By the time you realize how bad it’s gotten and decide to take action, it has become harder than ever.

Like, no, for majority of users, switching to the fediverse isn’t too much effort, it’s just for what they want, switching to the fediverse sucks pretty hard.

That’s not opposing what I said. Switching to the fediverse is too much effort because building up the communities here requires effort, and they just want to consume. Eventually reddit will enshittify to such a degree, that even having an active Toronto Blue Jay comm won’t be enough and they will switch, but for me, it just points to the abuse people will tolerate for comfort, which as I pointed out, has parallels to the rise of fascism.

We’re all aware of network effects. Merely knowing about them won’t help you solve them. But when they’re literally forcing you to lobotomize your own comm and you still cannot switch, well then you’re just asking for the abuse.

As always, redditors will just sit and take all the abuse and control, because switching to the threadiverse is just too much for them. It’s no wonder that fascism has taken over the USA so easily when even switching sites is too hard.

It also shows Mod next to my name. So double the trouble.

Sweet! Subscribed!

It’s not about the the end goal, it’s about the way of achieving it. Anarchists and Marxists have praxis that often is mutually exclusive.

Libs claim tankies make sockpuppets in our instance, tankies claim libs make sockpuppets in our instance. It’s just inability to comprehend the anarchist perspectives

Annoying ofc that this is all on telegram who’s really not secure enough for this sort of thing, so if people have other suggestions, feel free to post them here.

I know the “provocateur” you’re talking about, and I’ve never seen them go to troll others outside their own space. I also haven’t seen many similar profiles either.

In my experience, we don’t have quite that many leftists trying to rile each other up. What often happens is that some people want to character assassinate some others due to previous dislikes or because they oppose one of their core beliefs, so they try to blow up any “impurities” they can find in order to turn people against them. You can see it with people who get short term bans from leftist places and then get into year-long grudges.

Generally I would suggest people start ignoring people who constantly post and try to stir up drama about whole instances or specific subgroups of lemmy users. For example, I dislike intensely, like threads.net, hilariouschaos and lemmygrad and yet you don’t see me constantly opening drama threads about them.There’s some caveats in this statement, but it by and large, it applies imho.

We don’t have that many posts in them, and I know the primary posters

Yeah, those are not for automated posting. We expect people to post their best results by hand.

Nah not us. While we’re automation friendly to an extent, we’re looking for organic context for posts
