Guess where? Unironically r/Save3rdPartyApps

The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I’m still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.

    Fortunately, tankies aren’t leftists, since authoritarianism and hierarchy is necessarily a right-wing viewpoint.

    Right-wing politics describes the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable.

    Left-wing politics describes the range of political ideologies that support and seek to achieve social equality and egalitarianism, often in opposition to social hierarchy as a whole.

    Since the two instances run by the developers are generally pro-genocide and pro-authoritarianism, those are some huge sticking points for Lemmy going forward. Federation doesn’t help because they control the biggest instances and the development of the software itself. I wouldn’t be surprised if the developers invited more people into the core group and stepped down from a leadership position to avoid being a lightning rod for all of the ecosystem.

      You almost sound like you want to say fascists are not right wingers.

      You are getting tempbanned for false accusations, as Lemmy developers cleared these false accusations. https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-06-17_-_Update_from_Lemmy_after_the_Reddit_blackout

      It is impossible not to be authoritarian, if anything this case has been written about by Engels already. If anything this call to abolish all hierarchy immediately without any relation to material reality is bound to end up in complete and utter failure.

      How does a revolutionary movement organize? How do we spread discipline amongst ourselves? How are we to know what to do? Where and when? How do we act when fascists take interest in destroying us? How do we organize local politics, then in a province and then nationally so that the revolution is protected from outside forces that wish to undermine it? These questions must be answered if we are to fight for communism.

      Also! How does a stance on denying false accusations of genocide suddenly for some god forsaken reason make a person pro-genocide!? If anything on Lemmygrad you find people who are the first and most passionate at scrutinize genocides!

      Next, Nutomic and Dessalines only control lemmy.ml. That’s it. sh.itjust.works, beehaw.org, sopuli.xyz, lemmy.world and lemmygrad.ml are all independent from them! And in the world of AGPLv3 software it is impossible for a certain group to be a de-facto owner of a project. They may be the original creators, but the source code is out there for anyone and everyone to use, modify and share without end! That includes forking into and independent code base and making a lemmy alternative from itself. Lemmy isn’t inherently Marxist, just because the devs are. Lemmygrad is, because that’s what it was created for.
