We need some catchy name for a “buy from local businesses” day that we can propose on prime day.
I can’t wait until more YouTube creators move to Peertube + donation platforms like Liberapay!
Lots of brib- I mean meeting clients on business trips. Yeah, doing business. And golf. For business. Shut up.
That’s a good question. To be honest with you, I’ve come across critiques of tankies on .ml as well as tankie nonsense. I’ve also come across some progressive discussion as well as USA apologism on .world.
So in my personal experience (may differ from others based on what communities we frequent) I haven’t experienced so much tankie or American apologist content that I’ve felt the need to leave either community.
I agree with your sentiment that .world is left of reddit - as is Lemmy in general.
What I have been seeing is some users on .world coming across any tankies and wanting to defederate while seeing some amounts of pro-US imperialism on .world but ignoring it since (imo) we’re desensitised to it especially coming from reddit.
I do not find that tankies define the communities I frequent on .ml any more than pro-US imperialism defines .world.
You can be left-leaning while also not a fan of neoliberalism. :)
I take issue with both the authoritarian left and authoritarian right: being an apologist for Soviet Russia as well as being an apologist for the USA is not OK in my opinion.
I find it futile to take a position on which is worse because that just gives space to be an apologist for one that’s “less bad”. I see this happening in this thread right now.
Should I defederate from both lemmy.world and lemmy.ml? Of course not. In fact, I find both to be more tolerable and cooperative than reddit today.
That’s why leftists are prone to like it.
This has not been my experience speaking to leftists at all.
Thank goodness nobody is locked into any one instance. The beauty of the fediverse.
“Wait, you’re telling me that the peasants still think if they please their boss and vote once every few years that the inequality will be solved? They’re still not unionized or protesting?”
“Yes, sir”
“Fucking great! Let’s keep gaslighting them into thinking it’s their fault!”
This makes more sense imo, thanks for sharing your experience (and your Lemmy development :))
I’ll allow it.
Community guidelines in a readme would be a good start. Also, educating those opening new git issues since I often see entitled and vitriolic demands from non-devs who do not understand what FOSS is (although I understand that this isn’t the only bully archetype).
One of the takeaways Imo is to consider bullies as potential security threats especially when they’re pushing to merge code. And for both developers and non-developers alike, to try to foster a culture of respect and avoid entitlement in git issues. Call it out when you see it and don’t dogpile.
Absolutely. In my experience I’ve felt more pressure to merge in closed source than open source since the bully is those above you in a hierarchy with business interests who are also paying your bills.
I fail to see the comparison at all.
I’m actually planning on Solar, otherwise POE would be ideal.
Fears he would resign? Bring it on lol.
Heck yeah! Thank you, friend.
Minimum 10 vacation days though.:(
