I’m a communist 😈
they/them
Here’s one way it could happen
No, projects like the Fediverse require initial protectionism. If you let megacorporations into your project, they will dominate and gain control over how the protocol develops in the future. Google Chrome’s huge share of users has enabled it to get dangerously close to locking other browsers out of most of the Internet (the Web Integrity API shenanigans are just the start). Chrome also removed support for JPEG XL, killing that attempt at a standard and enshrining its own WebP. It’s called “Embrace, extend, and extinguish”.
If the Fediverse actually wants to grow, it must unite against this. Otherwise we will end up with a couple hundred thousand Fedipact hardliners and millions on Facebook 2. No progress will have been made.
Fuck Google, I’m not paying them shit.
However, when Google and Amazon are nationalized then I’ll agree. Everyone should pay taxes which go into the government owned server farms.
What about all the atrocities Israel just did in Gaza? Leveled a bunch of apartments, displaced a ton of families, and killed hundreds.
The esteemed Mr. Malthus wrote about it. The admirable J. Swift has also written a wonderful proposal for how we may deal with it.
China’s National Defense Minister Li Shangfu has been missing for weeks. Now, he’s under investigation for corruption and out of a job
Probably getting fired and/or arrested for corruption if I had to guess. Just a thought though.
It’s not an SOE and like half of its stocks are owned by Americans. But the parent company got some government funding according to the US Congress, so the whole conglomerate is considered an SOE by America now. Sounds like trade war stuff to me lol
Lol. The actual reason they use it is they needed a standard time and thought it would be the funniest one considering the Allegations™
Users can be banned, and if it’s a persistent and draining issue for admins after a couple weeks then defederation would actually be understandable.
Oy vey. Conspiracy theories are against the Code of Conduct! Rule 3. I’ll leave you with a warning.
This single user’s plan does even involve using Hexbear. Lemmy.world would have to defederate from all other instances to prevent this person from trolling.
One year later and nothing has been done! So much for leftist “organizing”!
Edit: The Leninist downvote brigade continues! Up yours, woke moralists!
Please read and respect the rules of the community instance in which you are posting/commenting. Please try to keep the dirtbag lib-dunking to hexbear itself. Do not follow the Chapo Rules of Posting, instead try to engage utilizing informed rhetoric
You have been proven wrong by quotes and logic!
Unfortunately for you, the userbase of Hexbear is predominantly non-Russian! Ergo, your conclusion is incorrect!
Indeed, they even use Moscow time!
You are being illogical. You claim that Hexbear will not respect instance rules, yet the linked post on Hexbear has their admins explicitly begging their users to respect other servers’ rules. The truth is that you do not want a large quantity of users with heterodox opinions mingling with your own. This is why you block Hexbear but not the smaller Lemmygrad. Instead, I suggest you add to your Code of Conduct that lemmy.world is an anti-communist server and will not tolerate Marxist-Leninists. That way you will no longer be hypocritical, and you will probably also make a lot of your users happy!
edit: I see I am being downvoted - clearly by Leninists angry that I suggest a divorce! However, your emotions will not silence my pure logic!
It’s not really losing to the car. The article says the train will now also be less than five hours, so the time difference is honestly not that much. There are also four trips daily which is sadly quite good nowadays in America. You can leave from St. Louis at 4:30 AM, 6:35 AM, 2:55 PM, and 5:40 PM. You can leave Chicago at 7:15 AM, 9:50 AM, 5:20 PM, and 7:10 PM. Coach costs like $25-$31, while the car trip would cost you around $68. Instead of focusing on driving for 4.5 hours, you can relax or do work for five hours. Compared to less frequent routes (Pennsylvanian 😒) you also have several options for departure and don’t need to arrive at the station before the sun even rises. Someone who knows more about planes can tell me a flight would make any sense.
As someone who goes between Philly and Pittsburgh a couple times a year, if the shitty Pennsylvanian service was upgraded to be like the new Lincoln Service, I’d be really happy!
Oh, and for price that ends up $7 million per mile. Not sure how that compares.
I thought you’re not supposed to keep things charging after they reach full battery. Also I don’t have a plug near my bed lol
Horseshoe theory is real and it’s communists and anarchists both getting kicked out of 196. Welcome to the club comrade
Comrade Zuck doing us a favor and ideologically purging the Fediverse of all the liberals by extinguishing all the collaborationist instances. o7
