Divide and rule, it's an adage as old as time.
It's his goal. Kill off the ability of the masses to contact and trade with the outside world, so they depend on him. Then extort the poor₁ much as possible.
₁ "Poor" here being everyone who isn't a multimillionnaire. Because compared to people like Muskrat, everyone is poor.
I think it'd help Peertube if it had an option to let you view YT frontend content, or if we told more YT creators to put up a Peertube instance/upload spot.
Especially the big ones would help a lot. Kurzgesagt, PBS Space Time & Eons, Tom Scott, etc...
That's actually a great measure, imho. It combats the community effect from stopping people from switching over. If Lemmy also supported migrating accounts to another instance, that'd be excellent.
People don't really leave Shitter, Slopgram, or Crapbook quickly because there is SO much there, that it drowns out all other communities.
Important to look for though, would be to establish the community at start as for and by the people.
A left-focused community, by extension can be friendly to all that aren't left - just not those that are assholes (far-right and its allies). And on those, I have two tangents.
On the Left
A tangent... but on marxism-leninism I admit I have my reserves, and I do not support a majority leadership by them. However, I do support them to the extent of dividing up the far-right. I've noticed that fascists often easily switch forth to supporting marxism-leninism.
I sometimes have thought of constantly questioning fascists' views directly by alts and bots, to eventually get them to understand ML views.
If the horsehoe theory works, then it's also possible to do a reverse fishhook; hoeing a fascist into MLism, then hooking them into anarchist communism.
On Marxism and Anarchism
Crucially, I think it is possible to have a society, with cooperation between marxists and anarchists, communists and socialists.
All wish for a society of social ownership. All agree on a reduction of the state and corporatisation in the end, with equity for all. What we have in common, we must stress; what we differ on, we relax discussion about.
If we wish to avoid a tyranny, it is necessary that all leftists cooperate against the face of fascism (whether red or brown) and capitalism;
embrace communism,
accept socialism,
cooperate with social democrats,
tell christian democrats and liberals,
criticise fascism when with non-fascists,
and no podium to fascists.
A state is understood as a centralised entity with a monopoly on violence, by which it exercises the capacity to repress labourers. All who aren't straight up multimillionnaires, are by definition labourers, for they are forced to live to work, rather than to live and work.
We can build this stateless, moneyless, classless, society from both ground up and the top. And that starts with ensuring that basic needs are met.
Off-grid homes w/ beds, worker-owned co-op farms (for food and clothes), water supply, education. Mines (such as Opco) and factories must be worker-owned, which is a second step. We must establish our own communal hospitals, with our own supply of medicine. We exercise and train mutual defence. We best start within clumps of communities near each other, and spread out from there.
Away with "right to work"; all for "right to strike",
away with "freedom of religion", all for "freedom from religion"
away with "right to bear arms", all for "equal arms against tyranny",
away with "private property", it's "theft from the masses"!
Free is the land where the mightiest are equals of their labourers.
Not to mention that the Mold author wrote HP when she was in abject poverty.
Instead of using her wealth to improve others' wellbeing (or yet better, getting rid of all unnecessary wealth), she aligned with fascists and is actively supporting what the Nazis did during WW2.
Why not both? Pirate, don't talk about it with others.
Then you can help the fool lose money AND fade into obscurity.
Honouring your username!
Go home Usonians, this may be snow but it's OUR snow
Yup, I considered PieFed due to its great features (especially the ability to migrate where your account was set, that's a great one), but was uncertain due to their governance. Lemmy also has its issues (such as a certain dev), but still.
Had PieFed had a governance like that of Debian, I think it'd have worked out much smoother.
I wonder if someone could establish a fork off PieFed on Codeberg, and from the start having a decentralised governance, ensuring to close possible loopholes that could enable autocratic governance.
I've been deleting old backups for hours and it takes way too long. But I guess that's what you get with 196,000 "parts/components/files" that have to be removed...
Anyone know why it'd take this long to simply delete files?
