True. Although, I've seen even the most aggressively defederated instances of mastodon be very active long-term and even grow. (poa.st may be one of the most defederated instances for example, and 1. there's still a lot of instances federated to them and 2. they still have a very active userbase.)
Quick note about this:
the other was condoning heinous illegal activies regarding underage individuals
As far as I know, they don't actually condone anything regarding "individuals" per se. Afaik Burggit's underage content is limited to hentai (japanese-style drawings) specifically. Which is not to say it is not illegal, because in Canada, it is illegal and categorized as child pornography.
Apparently 3 people can’t admit George Clooney isn’t wearing that shirt to say they’re “losers”, he’s wearing it to say they’re evil, and stupid enough that they’re doomed to lose because they are ignorant of actual history.
Would he be wearing it if he agreed with the people being criticized? Like if he thought that it was, say, women, with the "losing" topic being anti-women legislation, he would probably not wear it. He wears it because he thinks that these people who are losing are also morally reprehensible. And, of course, that they are "losers" as well. But I don't think that saying that "he wears it to say they're evil" is complete falsehood, although the message is probably more like "these people are evil but they lose every time".
thank you, i understand now the trump fascist perspective
i'm still feeling a bit left out on the anarcho-capitalist fascist perspective tho. Anarchists have a long history of wanting to use violence to get out of an authoritarian system. I'd say that's a similarity with fascism where they would circumvent the law to put themselves and their views first. But I'm not sure that's enough for that, as you did say that "as stated", it is an ideology that seeks to have a society without a 'state' or 'government'.
Is being racist, homophobic and monogamist and otherwise moralistic with some skewed morals enough to be called a fascist? Or to point toward being a fascist? Again afaik fascism is like Hitler or Mussolini where ppl decide "this figure is great and we need to break the law to get them absolute power, they will be equivalent to a king and will favor our people".
i understand that thedonald and donald trump is often associated with fascism, i don't really understand why this is the case, since as far as i know, fascism is a militaristic state. I do get that it has a lot in common since it's a paternalistic one-man figure which appeals to reactionaries that would advocate to leave aside the law to put the guy in charge of reforming the country and removing something.
i'm not very sure if that's really fascism or not, i'd say it's eh, dumb authoritarianism. covid conspirationalism, i've seen that shit in venezuela from ppl who were just randos who didn't know anything, ppl who said it was the 5g or china or whatever, i didn't see any political alignment to being dumb and gullible
the one that strikes me the most from your list is anarcho-capitalism, which is often associated with a "nation" without a government, much less a president or a dictator, which i thought was an absolute requirement for fascism and authoritarianism. i'm not very sure how this one could even approach being nazism.
:) ChatGPT had actually given me the observer syntax, I used it for the first plugin on the community 😎😎 ChatGPT made most of it too hahah. It's simple enough.
I am actually a professional web developer. But that doesn't mean I'm amazing at it, though I do know a few... practices, not sure if I should call them "best practices" or even "good design" hahahah, I just do what it takes.
I switched the whole thing to typescript though which tends to produce better results for complex things. Typechecking at compile time saves a shitton of debugging time. For the rest of things like the addon folder structure, dependencies and anything else, I just ask ChatGPT. It is now my universal encyclopedia! 🥸 (encyclopedia, assistant, codemonkey, proofreader, second brain for when mine turns off and also my new source of type errors cuz its common sense is sometimes nonexistent)
ah, nice to know! :) Thanks, and I'm super glad to have you back. I've actually been using your script (version 1.3) as a basis for another plugin I'm making. I'm not sure it'll see the light of day but it's fun, and it's my first attempt at a firefox extension.
Strange times we live in. My instance (pawb.social) has defederated from sh.itjust.works due to their open signup/spambot/trolling problem. This means I can’t actually manage the OP post about this userscript I made, and the link to this page is still alive and prominent for SJW users. It’s unfortunate, but I understand the rationale. I think it will just be temporary until SJW moderates their instance better. This userscript has actually been replaced by a userstyle version, which does the same thing in a cleaner way.
The version of my post that contains the updated userstyle and instructions is located here: https://pawb.social/post/43513
This is the same exact post that you probably came from, but the difference is it's hosted on pawb.social, and therefore I can edit it. My edits on pawb.social do not get pushed to SJW since we are defederated. It's sort of like being shadowbanned. In the meantime though, this 'shadowbanned' post still works as a homepage, as long as it's linked to directly on pawb.social!
Apologies for the inconvenience, we're exploring lemmy's quirks together!
You are the smartest actually. It's actually very unlikely that you will fall to propaganda. While this meme may look very credible at first, it's an urban myth that everyone is equally vulnerable to propaganda. It has been proven that people who displace themselves from centralized social networks and go into free software and decentralization are part of a quotient high enough to become immune and sometimes even antigenous to propaganda. This is why I would like to offer you a 30% discount to my course at LinkedIn.com/definitelynotascam where you will be able to read all about propaganda immunity and the advantages of decentralized free software in the human psyche and general level of intelligence.
