Literally yes

Let people say, and see, what they want.

Yes, that’s why the defederated with an instance that bans anti Zionism.

Ain’t much difference between MAGA and tankies.

“I said commie, not new deal Democrat!”

Same sentence, new era

Marx was a tankie, lol. Shows you’ve never actually read him

I don’t advocate because I hate it when people do it to me. What I do instead is that I use it (be it the Fediverse, Linux, any Free/Libre tools, like I use also use analog tools whenever and wherever I can) and let people see that I don’t need or miss the corporate-owned alternatives many of them think are the only way and show them there is an alternative to proprietary (and to digital, something too many Free/Libre users seem to forget ;)

A few people will be intrigued enough to ask me questions but it is them that will be asking the questions and not me bothering them with my own remarks and suggestions which makes a huge difference: they want to know more. From those people, a few will be that intrigued they will be willing to give this or that specific app or tool a chance, or even give Linux a chance… That Linux curiosity has been made a lot simpler thx to the Windows 11 debacle, and thx to the fact that installing my distro of choice (beginner friendly) takes less than 5 maybe 6 minutes on most machines, even older ones, and then, most of the times, everything will work out of the box. There is a real wow moment, there… Followed by some real frustrations but it still is much better than starting with the frustrations and no wow, imho ;)

Your problem is that you’re an idealist and you think ideas can be translated into practice just by having the correct ideas. Reality is not like that, fascists will play dirty and capitalists will play dirty and you can’t win at their own game.

as you recognized, this is a 2 coordinate system, and the split is between left-libertarian and left-authoritarian. your confusion lets me take a guess and say you sit in the US, where the libertarian/authoritaran axis has been compressed by the 2-party system, which is like putting too many cats at once in a small box - you get infighting, at least on the left; the right has the same, but the infighting between right-authoritarians(fascists) and left-auths(tankies) takes backseat. while the libertarian part is discussing in what type of society they want to live, the authoritarian part is primarily occupied in securing power, mostly followed by internal purges.

Sure, if you’re a politically illiterate centrist

People that want a civil discussion in the merits of a philosophy whose base principle is at best ethnic cleansing don’t deserve one.

You’re like a white northerner demanding a civil discussion on the merits of slavery to a black person in the underground railroad.

Your position is just as disgusting and ludicrous.

Theres nothing civil about your genocide apologism

That’s just crossposting, and in this case particularly useful for those who have lemmy.ml blocked.

🤣🤣🤣

They’re also paying children now?

Remember tamagotchi? Those little digital pets really took the world by storm for a while, and they’re still going to this day. However, unlike the early days of the digital pet, we now have the resources and the know-how to make our own tamagotchis. We can even make them open-source so people can tweak them the way they want.

If you have an ESP32 sitting around and you think it’d be better served as a cute little creature that you need to take care of, then you can do a lot worse than check out this adorable project. While it’s still a work-in-progress, it’s already at the point where you can take care of a cute critter in your spare time. And when you’re busy. And just about all the time.

I meant the inability between distinguishing moderating hate speech and supporting genocide.

Lemmy.ml definitely has its problem with nuanced positions.

Few ever explicitly call for Palestinian genocide in mixed company. Instead they hasbara. And most Zionists in the fediverse are liberal Zionists who don’t want to see a genocide, but somehow still haven’t come to terms with reality after almost a year and a half of genocide.

And most Zionists in the fediverse are liberal Zionists who don’t want to see a genocide

The alternative interpretation of this sentence, that they don’t want to see a genocide but they don’t mind if it happens where they don’t see it, is also true.

I don’t see how it’s bad faith to call an instance that has taken a stance in favor of a genocide “genocide apologist. They are doing genocide apologia. If you aren’t a genocide apologist, you should leave the genocide apologist instance, same as leaving the nazi bar if you aren’t a nazi.

I have not seen evidence that the plurality of that instance is in favor of genocide. Im open to evidence.
