To be fair, those deaths can be blamed on the brutality of the likes of Stalin and Mao. Communism didn’t kill those people— but its authoritarian nature certainly provided fertile ground to be abused by monsters.

Like most things political, it’s highly nuanced and complex. I don’t particularly like to defend communism, but an ideology alone can’t do anything. It requires bad actors who use that ideology for their own ends.

That’s a leap even our Olympic gymnasts knew better than to try.

Our kids hardly get an education as it is. When those who hate paying their fair share of taxes throw a fit, politicians always make sure that they get to voice their opinions, publicly and loudly.

Makes you wonder: who’s buying all of these politicians? And it’s always the Republicans trying to take your rights away from you.

Everything I hate it’s finally coming to the fediverse! Yay!

I was referring to the lemmy devs, but ok, I guess

Perhaps you should report this as a bug to the devs. Otherwise, this was an interesting read.

there’s plenty of that going on, too, just not on as large a scale.

Mastodon revolves around following topics and hashtags, not individuals. I learned that early on, and am having a much better experience.

I have an app where I can just type “+gpt <gpt prompt>” into any text field, so I have that already.

Seems slightly unfair to put that workload on the server.

The app is “MacGPT” and runs in the menu bar. I presume that such a useful utility almost certainly would exist for Linux, maybe on windows.

I wish there was one for jobs :(

the only one who can remove an admin is a more senior admin, and they can already see behind the “mod” alias.

your point seems moot

Actions have consequences

Well since all major lemmy instances seem to hide mod names in their logs, we don’t know who the banning mods are.

I hardly see what that would accomplish if we could.

I don’t think that person was saying that it was

As others have said, the only option available currently is to leave the instance and re-create your beloved communities elsewhere. The Lemmy.ml Admins also happen to be the ones actively developing the Lemmy code base, and they’re not gonna change because they feel entitled to do whatever they want, and technically, they can because they run the instance.

My best advice is to move on from the instance.
