@cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world see? there are idiots from all sides.
That's why some people tend to become reactive and aloof.
You left, but Beehaw being willing to give teeth to the concept of defederation is the reason I joined. I don’t think the decision hurt their user-count. It definitely helped distinguish their culture from the rest of the Fediverse.
Fair.
Libertarian Socialism. In the UK the closest parties/groups would be Black Rose Labour and/or Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour. The countries closest to my beliefs are Denmark, Iceland and Norway.
I see, Anarchism. I like it, mainly Kropotkin. Although I disagree with some points IRL mainly of my daily comrades are anarchists. I am what you would call a tankie even though I despise tankies.
However, the people on Lemmy.ml took further offence when I suggested DPRK wasn’t a democratic country and they trotted out a list of articles on how democratic it really was. Then I was given a bunch of Stalin emojis of him pulling heart shapes with his hands.
I understand, and I think this shouldn't happen. A Marxist should be open to honest debate. On my view DPKR is way more democratic than say USA. I don't like this apologetic view of Stalin too. But I don't subscribe to Imperialistic propaganda neither. I think somewhat I am priveleged living outside the axis North America x West Europe, those places have suffered with A LOT of propaganda, and it is hard to see it from inside.
I’m not a fan of autocratic dictatorships and I was dog-piled and taunted with a bunch of Stalinist and DPRK memes. Because apparently you’re not truly left-wing unless you worship Stalin and Kim.
DPKR isn't a dictatorship though. Kim alone holds less power in his country than Biden for instance. Also he was elected. DPKR have some sort of direct democracy that most western world doesn't even dream about.
I would have been happy to debate these points with them but unfortunately my reticence of autocratic dictatorships was considered far worse than what was directed at me in response.
These people really gives socialism a bad name after all. I agree with you.
No of course not but I subscribe to the original Reddiquette philosophy. Downvotes arne’t for disagreement. They were originally a form of user-moderation to stop spam. Unfortunately about a decade ago after the Digg exodus the users of Reddit forgot that original usage and so you’d end up being downvoted and not knowing why. It doesn’t foster debate or discussion. It’s a cheap way to snipe someone down without being responsible or engaging them.
I never, ever downvote unless it’s obvious link spam. If I feel strongly enough I tell the person they’re wrong and why. That’s what I believe in.
That's actually very nice, I agree with you. TIL.
Here on Lemmy you prefer the comments timeline?
I mean, mastodon doesn't have a method for groups. It just happens to show federated ActivityPub note type
seriously? do you follow any large group in mastodon? do you prefer your timeline flooded with a single group discussion?
I got downvoted to hell
What's wrong with downvoting? Ain't it expected when the community allow downvotes?
Do you think everyone should agree with you always?
Then I got a 4-day ban cos I suggested “Tankies give socialists like me a bad name”. Fucking hell fire. I’m not going near any of their subs again.
I am curious, what current of socialism do you subscribe to?
That's the official instance by the UN. Which your country agrees.
Akkoma only shows the topic OP in your timeline, when you click you can see all comments. While mastodon boosts every reply flooding your timeline.
Akkoma suports activitypub articles, So you can actually read lemmy posts without leaving akkoma. While Mastodon only shows the article title and link, you are obliged to leave mastodon to read it.
Initially they were not so upfront about it. Things changed as they experienced more of the fediverse.
You are too dramatic. What happened is that many left beehaw (me included). You can see beehaw has a lot less activity now then it had last year.

Há mais de 75 anos, os palestinos estão sujeitos à ocupação e ao apartheid. Condenar a violência mais recente, mas permanecer em silêncio sobre essa injustiça, apenas expõe a hipocrisia do Ocidente.
