It doesn’t seem to be what’s happening here, but I’ve seen wooded areas clear cut for large scale solar farms before. That’s completely missing the point of green energy IMO and I can see why some would oppose it.

I’ve been loving everything from Annapurna ever since I realized that the same studio made Nimona and Stray.

like this?

The one dandelion leaf really pulls it all together

Fuck yea, animal liberation all the way. Not sure why you’re using that to defend capitalism tho. Doesn’t really feel like a good faith comment to make.

You can not be an anarchist while supporting the hierarchical system of capitalism. Full stop.

They both got silver if I’m not mistaken

Brigading is

Once again Ada cuts through the bullshit elegantly and unapologetically. This is 100% the home for me

Which devices doesn’t jellyfin have apps for? Seems like a pretty well developed ecosystem to me.

At the end of the day, Ada never intended this instance to be explicitly in favor of any particular political view. Its a queer friendly instance first and foremost. Queer people aren’t always going to agree on every political subject. Obviously the degree to which room can be made for different political views has it’s limits. Fascism and conservativism clearly have no place here, for example, but that’s really not what this is about.

Do I think MindTraveller’s behavior is abusive and inflammatory? Probably. But whether they should be banned for it isn’t my decision, nor is it an easy one when from their point of view LibertyHub is causing active harm to the queer community. I don’t agree with that opinion, but they should be allowed to express it in a respectful manner.

I expressed a similar sentiment elsewhere in this thread about Grail.

To be honest, I mostly agree with you about MindTraveller, but I think your criticism of Ada is too harsh.

For real. Ada’s always the most level headed person in the room. Exactly what we need in an admin.

Thanks Ada. I’m sorry this place seems to be constantly surrounded by drama.

This word has lost all meaning if you’re applying it to LibertyHub. The rules (until the new head mod “simplified and clarified” them very recently) explicitly called out Maoist apologia as being against the community guidelines.

LibertyHub is an anarchist space with very heavy handed moderation and specific rules intended to promote discussion without the need to explain basic concepts of anarchism constantly. Posting neoliberal or imperialist appologetic viewpoints would get you banned on LibertyHub, so lots of people have stayed mad at their (until very recently) head mod.

I frequent LibertyHub and LinkOpensChest didn’t convince me of shit. I’m a whole person with very strongly held and well developed political beliefs. Just because you don’t agree with those beliefs doesn’t mean I’m a brainwashed slave resolved to stripping your rights and installing a fascist dictator.

Criticizing Biden is not the same as advocating against voting. This position is something that LOC has had to defend himself on many times, and one that many don’t seem to grasp. If I’m not mistaken, LOC at one point even said he’d vote for Biden when the time came. I don’t think any person should have to broadcast their voting plans explicitly to avoid being the target of controversy, but here we are.

It takes a nuanced position to criticize the current establishment for being (at best) complicit in genocide while still recognizing the very real danger of fascism. Many people just see the memes bashing Biden and assume no nuance behind it.

I haven’t chimed in any of the times that LibertyHub and LinkOpensChest.wav have been brought up here in a controversial light.

That said, I have REALLY enjoyed the LibertyHub community for not making me constantly feel disenfranchised or defensive about my political views. The heavy handed moderation style has made it a really great community for me to discuss things I care about without needing to constantly refute whataboutisms and general lib shit.

That type of community isn’t for everyone, and that’s by design. We don’t need everyone to feel welcome in every community. LibertyHub is explicitly for like-minded leftists that don’t want to put up with authoritarian or capitalist sympathizers. It needs to be heavily moderated to be that kind of community.

I’m not even the type of person to block communities or users that I disagree with. I just want to have one good bastion of Lemmy where I don’t feel the need to explain or argue about why inexcusable things are inexcusable.

LibertyHub under LinkOpensChest.wav’s moderation has been great for that.

I hope the general moderation style doesn’t change because of this.

It does, but honestly its more stable for me with proton. At least it used to be I haven’t tried the native version in several years
