you should know i am earnest. i’m learning how to snark. i try to say what i mean and mean what i say.
sometimes i do try to make jokes, but I am not sarcastic.

>If you call liberals fascists, you are alienating a potential ally
leftists have a saying:
scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds.
if liberals want to be my ally, they will abandon liberalism.
>Democrats aren’t generally fascists.
i’d disagree, but, again, i’m consulting mussolini for my definition, not 21st century vibes.
>, it doesn’t include contemporary American fascism, which openly derides the state as an institution.
i would say that’s not true. i’d say the democrats are fantastic fascists who laud the state as the panacea for all of society’s ills. but even the republicans would never try to degrade the military and policing power of the state.
it has to do with the primacy of the state. if the society is built around the supremacy of the state and all of the institutions serve the interest of the state… that’s exactly what mussolini was trying to build.
>They actively ban people who aren’t tankies.
this seems unlikely.
i didn’t make any personal attacks, and i’m on kolektiva
what’s the point of making things up like this, then?
do you have any proof of this?
the dbzer0 piracy community has been around much longer than most of the users here. they spun up when they saw the writing on the wall, and they permit things that would not be permitted on reddit. and, it seems, they permit things that are not permitted on .world.
but the instance is still there. the community is still there.
and you can leave .world, join an instance that hasn’t banned !piracy, and keep right on going.
>Fascism is a political strategy that seeks to preserve, create, and entrench structures and relationships of power imbalance by means of promoting and facilitating mass, broad-spectrum chauvinism in ways that are likely to encourage widespread individual and systemic violence.
fascism is a social theory that elevates the interests of the state above all else, bringing all other institutions into line with the goals of the state.
sometimes, this will require strict stratification. people will not support the state while thy don’t believe in the fairness of the stratification.
chauvinism may be a useful tool to some regimes, but it’s not necessary or sufficient to identify a society as fascist.
imho.
i think anyone can query it, but it may not be in the interface.
i’m pretty sure i account for about half of those. i had dozens of fediverse identities before lemmy and now… well lets just say **i** don’t think it’s a problem, but at this point i think i could identify a lemmy welcome email at 200 feet.
>kind of enjoy the jank because it feels like an adventure
you know me better than i knew myself. are you taking clients?
seriously.
I am subscribed to the biggest communities on Lemmy.world. I keep Lemmy communities in a list, and hide them from my main timeline.
see attached pictures
yea, i prefer the mastodon method.
i don’t get what you mean: i quite like having every comment robbed of context and fed to me reverse-chronologically, only to reveal context and display chronologically when clicked
i understand some people might find it jarring, but what do you mean by “properly”?
i’ve never looked into using my akkoma to interact with lemmy, but i quite like using mastodon.
It just seems faster in every client that I’ve tried. There’s also a lot of software that’s built around it, and crucially, my xmpp bridge isn’t banned from joining Libera IRC channels.
they didn’t say threads is transphobic. tehy said threads allows transphobic content
