they didn’t say threads is transphobic. tehy said threads allows transphobic content

if you think I violated a rule you should report it.

>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.

Lemmy doesn’t support following Lemmy users. in short. Lemmy doesn’t support following users.

I follow Lemmy…this is a mastodon account

as far as I know, you can’t follow a Lemmy account from Lemmy.

>Look, you made a request and I already denied it.

I’m not going to let your post and unchallenged, especially in this forum. the problem isn’t that your language is imprecise, it’s actively misleading. even if you won’t change your behavior, perhaps someone who might have thought it was acceptable will no longer feel that way.

>If you understand what I mean, then the communication was successful

just because i understood doesn’t mean anyone else would. i’ve been using ostatus-enabled services over a decade. meta had a huge product launch with threads and promised to federate. it is confusing to refer to the fediverse as the threadiverse and serves to support an EEE agenda, whether you mean to or not.

you certainly have the power to shape how people think about things by naming them, and you seem to understand that. the fact that there is an activitypub implementation called “threads” and that is owned by some of the worst social media villains is likely to confuse people about it and play right into the EEE plans that we know for-profit technology companies love.

so don’t do that.

Please dont’ call it the “Threadiverse” the biggest advantage of Lemmy/kbin/mbin is ActivityPub and the fediverse.
