there’s also hexbear, I go there for the megathreads mostly

reddit being manipulated by information campaigns!?

I had nothing to do with that, but this made me laugh

Too many overtly emotional blue haired folk in moderating positions there

probably for the best to get all the state department groupchat people on those same servers instead of stirring shit everywhere else and crying about censorship

I mean this was a .ee user complaining about seeing people they’re federated with, I’m sure they will be more happy in one of the more liberal echo chamber instances

I understand, the point in response was that non-authoritatian states don’t and haven’t existed. The compass portrays a field that is equal, but in reality only the top half is anything but idealism, historically speaking.

a classless stateless society is what I would prefer. That’s something we can conceive of, but getting there is another issue. Revolutions tend to be pretty authoritarian no matter how you slice it.

I think that still qualifies as a bourgious dictatorship

Yeah, but it’s weird to be complaining about people using /all and finding content, calling it “invading”

he did say communist governments are authoritarian, in them the capitalist class would be getting oppressed by the state in service of the working class. this is why it’s called the dictatorship of the proletariat - the proletariat should still be getting their interests as a class represented in this arrangement, while bourgious have no special status or access due to their capital.

All governments are authoritarian, all states are instruments of class opression. What matters is which class is being oppressed, by which.

are there any examples of libertarian states?

Mostly they were left unblocked until their users started to invade other instances to spread their blatant propaganda.

isn’t the entire point of a federated platform that you’re going to be able to access other instances?

istg people hit the block button like they’re mashing the independent thought alarm

what’s the appeal? I’ve run into no reasons to switch, and I don’t even use any apps.

yeahhh between the zizians and the fertility clinic bomber, at this point if I run into a vegan that’s not a communist/anarchist I’m going to be suspicious

I check all/comments/new, see what people are talking about and if anything catches my eye I may subscribe

accidentally waste their time making mean comments that I can’t see

making comments people don’t see or acknowledge is one of my favorite pastimes

that external opinion is usually either bigotry or supporting US empire from my experience. Other Lemmy spaces are just as likely to ban for wrongthink ie: not being pro genocide or whatever war libs are supporting this time.

hexbear is heavily transfem and bans aggressively for misogyny/transphobia. Spending some time there when their recent domain crisis defederated from the rest of Lemmy was actually quite relaxing

It I react to a message with a 👍 it’s innocuous, but if I reply to a message 👍 it’s actually me being passive aggressive like I can’t be bothered to type a real response

I would point out that the system we live in now is also maintained by violence and a lot of bloodshed, all alternatives are aggressively opposed, many people live in awful conditions already, and more often they tend to be the people on receiving end of US weapon systems. The actual death toll of capitalism is extremely high if you include social murder and neglect too.

when are they making these things part of the white house motorcade?

Beware the fake communism, “tankie” triad of hexbear.net (or wherever they moved to, after they forgot to renew their own domain name)

they managed to keep the domain in the end, I think they transferred to a different DNS landlord

Also it’s not fake communism, it’s pretty normal for anyone outside of terminally online circles, like I’m active in anarchist organizing and I’ve had plenty of comrades who would get called a tankie by you lot like it’s some thoughtcrime
