“restores any missing body parts”, but can it counter the “mend buttcrack” spell?

Exactly what I was thinking. It was all a power play. And now that they’ve got their power, everything is “A-OK” and don’t care about the real climate Apocalypse

It’s because of big pay, highly mobile employees, hiding the real role of the HR and this false sense of security compared to the rest of the workplaces despite all these lay-offs from the big companies. Also, whenever a unionizing attempt happens, the companies go into crackdown mode and have their multitude of ways to either fire you with a bogus reason, remove your post citing “restructuring” or pulling you on a dead career track and demonize you in front of your colleagues with the usual “we care about our employees and everything can already be resolved through HR” speech. And moreover, many of these issues have a direct cause the Work Laws of the respective countries

They always have been

I really feel like this definition is fairly incomplete. All the traits you mentioned can also describe feudalism, but replacing “capitalist” with “noble”, which is sanctioned and invested by other nobles or the suzerain. You could say that capitalism is “any system that supports private ownership of private property that is used to collect the products of another person’s labor”. With the mention that the private ownership can be asserted by either a person or an organized group of persons, but both private entities

Not capitalism, but hating on corporations and on unregulated capitalism. Imagine having one commercial entity more powerful than many of the states in the world, then having them abuse that kind of power given by money to supress the rights of people in the weaker states. The government should act as a staunch and uncorruptible protector of the people against these kind of big economic legal or illegal entities

I’m okay with talking about that site to spread awareness.

What I’m not okay with is sharing direct links to it and, therefore, make traffic for it. Please use some aggregators and mirrors

This tankie right there is especially not very bright. But, in other places, he’s invoking “dialectical materialism” like it’s some sort of Holy Grail that resolves “any of life’s issues”. Caesar on a cross… he reminds me of Edward Sallow’s poor understanding of “hegelian dialectics”

Because some of them don’t see the danger of Threads. And I’m not only talking about the EEE tactic: I’m also talking about the festering sludge that will grow on Threads and that you have also seen. For the Fediverse, it will be a moderation nightmare. And be sure that Zucc won’t even moderate his platform; he doesn’t want to and, as far as he’s concerned, it’s even out of his range.

Think about it this way: if a user starts spewing death threats within the Threads platform, he MAY get sanctioned. Not banned, “sanctioned”. But if he does that to the Fediverse and especially on servers with already overwhelmed moderators, do you think that there would be consequences coming from Zucc for doing this kind of stuff outside the official Threads servers? No, nothing! Our moderators would surely ban him if they would find out about this in time, but imagine thousands of these kinds of accounts invading from Threads doing this constantly. This is not just Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, but it gets to Embrace, Raid, Harass, Extinguish

… Some people just like letting the corporate algorithm sort content by controversies and rage baits. Maybe they will make their own instances focused only on that, but I hope that they will not be worth federating with. Eventually some of these will go back to corporate platform and whine on how “bad and bleak is the Fediverse”. Good, keep whining and “advertising”. We don’t want people with that attitude here anyway.

I’m one of the new users and, being confused (read as “unknowledgeable”) by so many instances to sign up into, I chose .world as it looked like the most generalist and simplest with their policies. It means that, when it’s about the new users, they will need a generalist gateway to get them into the common policy part of the federation. As some servers defederalize and users get to know what they like and what servers actually suit them better to their values and policies (like Beehaw with their emphasis on the safe space), they can then create accounts on these isolated servers and go through their checks.

Now a big suggestion for these cases would be to have some sort of federated import APIs and tools for people that want to use the same login data for the defederated servers as in the federated ones (individual federation). Example: I already have a lemmy.world account, but I want to make myself an account for the defederated Beehaw with the same login data. This way I would be able to federate-import the account from lemmy.world and then to go to their checks right away

They’re trojan horse. We can’t stop them from creating their own servers, but we can choose to defederate them. Up with the Anti-Meta Defederation Pact
