At least two brands have said they will suspend advertising on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, after their ads and those of other companies were run on an account promoting fascism. The issue came less than a week after X CEO Linda Yaccarino publicly affirmed the company’s commitment to brand safety for advertisers.

Yeah Lemmygrad and Hexbear are garbage. They're not fully about communism though, they're designed to look like communism and support the CCP (and Kremlin).
Exploding Heads is just as bad on the other end of the spectrum. They're ruining Lemmy, I'd be ashamed to recommend it to anyone with all the authoritarian propaganda.
Like lemmy.world defederating from several tankie instances and the active discussion about defederating from additional communist instances?
Is that thing that is already happening the thing you want to happen or are there some additional things you want?
m2c: no one should get banned for sharing his ideas. There's a right to hate without exercising violence.

Even attempting to draw a parallel like that between race/ethnicity and material wealth is a fairly questionable take to most rational people I'd say, or at least hope.

You may have misunderstood my comment; it was intended to suggest that I strongly question your values and priorities because you're attempting to equate something as innate as race with material wealth. I'd go further to say that your conflating communism and socialism with nazism and fascism is merely ideological drivel.
The fact they seem to think communism, a ideology with scientific princables at its core and advocated for by Einstein reproduces by preying on the 'weak minded' clearly tells me how they view neuro-divergent people who dare to ask for representation too.
They always blame the problems on a specific class of people, then they present themselves as the “solution”.
seems like it worked out quite well for a certain group, i wonder which
In case of nazis they hated on the jews, in case of communists they hate on everyone that has any money at all.
I think you mean landlords, and those two groups are not the same

my point being you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about, liberalism (which im assuming you are) has historically killed more people than communism and further more is activelly still killing millions of people in modern wars and trade embargos
And capitalism, and the resulting lack of basic medical care in America despite us spending the most money per capita on it, killed my son and my dad. Go fuck yourself with a piece of rusty rebar you inhuman piece of shit. Tired of trying to have good faith arguments with folks like you. I’m ready to just start shooting on sight
what the hell are you talking about? Victor d'Hupay was an aristocrat. John Goodwyn Barmby was a Chartist, one of whose literal tenets is "pay persons of modest means if they have to serve the interests of the nation". Thomas Moore was the Lord High Chancellor to Henry VIII. Charles Fourier was the equivalent of a millionaire at age 9. Marx was a lawyer. Engels was the son of a wealthy mill owners. William Morris was the son of what today we'd call a Wall Street fatcat. Kropotkin's family owned serfs.
Nearly everyone involved in suffrage movements started wealthy and observed the treatment of the poor and was moved to do something about it.
ban this guy instead hes worse than both combined

This is so incredibly inaccurate. Nazi’s killed communists before coming for other groups. In fact, communists were one of the largest roadblocks to Nazi’s gaining power so they were one of the first groups be be targeted and eliminated. Despite what the name of the National Social German Workers’ Party might have you assume, the Nazi party were very much capitalists. They deregulated, supported business owners, squashed unions and even privatized public industries. All of these are hallmarks of capitalism. The one thing I will agree with is being anti-fascist means being anti-nazi, however this doesn’t work the other way around. Equating communism with either fascism or nazism is asinine. Comparing fascism and nazism to neoliberalism would be much closer to an apt comparison.
If you think communism = fascism, you're only showing the world that your opinion is too stupid to do anything but mock.
Is communism in the room with you at the moment?
What do you think communism is?
Because the internet itself functions based on the ideals of Communism... Literally.
Who designed the internet?
Did they make everyone pay for it?
Who designs and maintains the protocols the internet uses to communicate with?
Do they charge licensing fees for you to use them?
Who writes the encryption algorithms that make HTTPS actually secure?
Are they open source?
Can you use them without paying a licensing fee?
Who designs and maintains the HTML specification?
JavaScript?
Video codecs that make YouTube function without royalties?
Communism is EVERYWHERE, and it's glorious. Why do you so utterly fail to understand what it even is?
Because the internet itself functions based on the ideals of Communism… Literally.
There are many moving pieces to "the Internet". Literally none fundamentally work based on Communism. Any "free work" is a fancy version of Black Friday doorbuster sales.
Who designed the internet?
The United States military and research universities. Universities fund research to attract prestige, patentable technology, court donations, etc.
Did they make everyone pay for it?
The early Internet was not available, period. For pay or not. Al Gore as Senator, pushed for it to open it for commercial exploitation and commercial ISP's began. Unless you had 500 hours of free AOL dialup, you were paying for it.
Who designs and maintains the protocols the internet uses to communicate with?
Cisco, IBM, Google, AWS, and others hire engineers to sit on the IETF, w3c, etc committees. They publish protocols so their employers can sell new products or maintain marketshare. As a side gig, they also review and approve protocols like ActivityPub.
Do they charge licensing fees for you to use them?
No, the expense is recouped when companies buy products that are built around those products.
Who writes the encryption algorithms that make HTTPS actually secure?
RSA is a multi-billion dollar security company. HTTPS certificates are products that you purchase from Certificate Authorities. Let's Encrypt is funded by commercial companies to ensure consumer confidence in their main products.
Are they open source?
Sure. The algorithms are also reviewed and approved by NIST, a Communist agency run by the Communist country, the United States of America. You generally do not commercially use use an algorithm if it has not been approved by NIST.
Can you use them without paying a licensing fee?
Yes. Again, the expense is recouped when companies buy products that are built around those products.
Who designs and maintains the HTML specification?
Google, Apple, Mozilla, etc.
JavaScript?
As above.
Video codecs that make YouTube function without royalties?
Streaming services are communism now?
Communism is EVERYWHERE, and it’s glorious. Why do you so utterly fail to understand what it even is?
The misunderstanding is yours.
Bahahahaha you literally do not understand what communism is...
Do you think all those corporations contributing to the OPEN STANDARDS are paying each other to work on the open standards?!
You remind me of a quote: "Libertarians are like house cats: absolutely convinced of their fierce independence while utterly dependent on a system they don't appreciate or understand."
I am not a libertarian.
Ah yes, the ultimate form of communism: VENTURE CAPITALISM.
And I think you need to investigate how a lot of open source gets funded (if it does at all) and why. It's definitely not communism and in some cases, it's a worse model than even capitalism.
The internet wasn't invented by venture capitalists, you f*cking pillock. Learn history.
Whatabout what your mom does, down by the docks at night?
You're confusing communism with Bolshevism and Soviet communism
