I hate to be that guy, but it is literally already too late to reverse climate change, largely due to the attitude of people like you.

Turns out incremental change is worthless when you are on a time limit.

In fairness they probably find the Lemmy.world politics subs equally as divisive.

I stick clear of politics on Lemmy all together unless I really can’t hold my tongue

Communist != Tankie.

Communism is explicitly an economic framework. “Tankie” defines authoritarians who believe in the Communist economic framework. That leaves a lot of room for all other sorts of Communists.

Hex-bear is the reason I’m on Lemmy.world. That’s why I think people are overblowing the .ML drama.

You want to see tankies? Look at Hexbear

So then why not just block those subs?

I haven’t found Lemmy.ml to be all that objectionable. It’s not like they are hexbear.

It’s also worth noting that too many people put out way too much imagery of themselves online. People have got to start expecting that anything you put out in the public domain becomes public domain.

Capitalism only functions in an environment of competition. Because of our absolute domination of the Soviet Union, we’ve had no need to improve.

There’s a reason wages were so high back in the day compared to now. It’s because if people didn’t get paid what they were owed, then we would lose mindshare to communism.

I staunchly disagree with this. If a government actually cared about power consumption, they would subsidize the development of better X86 to arm translation layers so we can move to more power efficient processors.

There’s actually a lot we could do in order to reduce our energy consumption.

Another step I would take is completely outlawing the sale of advertisements to data brokers. There are so many resources that go to pumping out advertisements from servers, and it really just is not beneficial to anybody except for the companies.

I know this would not be popular among a lot of developers, but for certain applications, I would also curb planned obsolescence by creating a minimum viable processor and graphics requirement for certain applications. A lot of the times, the kinds of applications we use just don’t need as much power as they’re guzzling We need to end the feature creep.

As long as you aren’t beholden to specific software, it is becoming increasingly pleasant to use the Linux ecosystem.

Frankly, I never understood why businesses were invested in the office suite anyway. Considering there are so many good open source alternatives.

The only pain point in it’s getting a little better is graphic design.

Im a massive proponent of FOSS, But I have not heard a single sustainable FOSS model for maintaining free search engines. It just takes so much capital to operate.

I think a paid model is much better than a privacy disrespecting / ad driven one.

I know Lemmy doesn’t like it, but Kagi is really great

Im sorry, but your facts are wrong man, namely that hexbear does not support the invasion.

At this point Im choosing to block you. Ive already gotten away from the tankies once. No interested in trying to argue with one again.

Marx didint even believe in an established government. Much less one that invades a soveriegn nation such as Ukraine. Are you implying imperialism is compatible with the views of Marx?

There’s a differnece in being anti NATO and pro Ukraine invasion.

I thought you asked for examples of harassment…

No, their pro CCP and Kremlin takes are enough for the latter.

Particularly that they are pro Ukranian invasion. I could even buy an anti US imperialism stance. but they are instead pro Russian imperialism.

Sure. I reported a death threat, the mods posted the report to dunktank, and the mobs came after me.

The account has, understandably, been deleted. Weeks of harassment.

I have ample experience with these people. That’s why I created an account here. They bullied me with mod supported targeted harassment because I wasn’t communist enough or something.

To be honest, I don’t really think you’re engaging in good faith.

I think being demonstrably pro-Russian anti-Ukraine is one such example. I think they coddled the Chinese government too much. The allies they have do not align with true communist values.

I never made any characterization of Marx-Leninism. I think you’re wildly misattributing that philosophy to the hex-bear crowd.
