That just sounds like Malthusian / eco-fascist lines of thought.
It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Likewise, it’s all fun and games until someone loses access to their private and/or business data because they trusted it to someone else.
@thecoleslaws: Thread of sources on Uyghurs oppression and concentration camps that cannot, by any sane person at least, be called western propaganda: This continues to be an important piece considering it comes out...…
I haven’t read a lot of these sources myself yet, but the first one at least by the Communist Party of India is worth a read.
That seems fine. I’m just thinking it’s best to do so with some substantial analysis / critique.
If you just start a thread with the title of “Am I allowed to criticize tankism in this forum?” and saying nothing else, it’s just going to come off as inflammatory trolling without substance. You’re not going to convince anyone that way.
What’s “tankism”? There’s just been a statement about the political ideologies of devs / mods on Lemmy.
If you just want to share a spicy meme there are other communities like /c/completeanarchy and /c/dankleft.
Seems appropriate at this point that here you should at least put some effort into your critique and at least define if you’re talking about Marxism, ML, MLM, or some other ideology.
Sketching out a decentralized mechanism that enables unions to structurally mirror the scale and verticality of global supply chains.

It’s not so much being “run” by tankies, as it is being developed. So that should be respected. And it’s being built in a way that seems in line with anarchist principles, which allows for federation. If there’s a problem another instance could easily be created. If you don’t like it, take direct action and spin up a server.
Right now I think this instance is fine. It’s much better than a place like Reddit which is full of libs, or other sites full of nazis - and all run for profit with targeted advertising and tracking.
I also think it’s good to at least engage with each other. Even if you consider yourself an anarchist, it’s still good to read theory from other schools of thought, and at least take on board some of the tankie criticisms. You might also change some minds along the way.
Anyway, there’s a lot to be done in unionizing our workplaces, building mutual aid networks, spreading propaganda, building software, etc. etc. So this topic is probably a bit of a dead end.

Not Safe For Brands? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Ridiculous.
Does Lemmy have any kind of protection against stuff like vote manipulation from bot accounts?
