I was trying to draw a comparison to how the KPD formed in the first place. they were a group within the spd who were horrified at their colleagues voting in support of a brutal imperialist war and left (or rather were kicked out) of the party. Imo there has to be a moral line somewhere after which you refuse to vote for or even be in government with someone.

And it is not just the uk’s system of elections, as I mentioned this pattern happens across all of Europe and the United States, which leads me to also believe it’s an inherent feature of “liberal” bourgeois democracy and the kpd were right to roll the dice and try to fight it through non electoral means.

Same but for my mom

I mean, we’re seeing the same thing (sans the communist orgs) play out in real time across Europe now. In Britain, labor purges Jeremy corbyn and his ilk, then gets elected with a solid mandate, then promises to gut the NHS and promotes transphobic policies (for no material benefit) in the name of coalition building anyway.

What distinguishes these “bipartisan” labourists and their american equivalents from the Tories except different colored hats? Would you also blame corbyn for running against these people?

I thought Americans (at least the ones who watch MSNBC) all agreed he voted in the 2016 election

To be fair it’s not a mysterious “they”, it’s just an option available for channel owners to set alternative thumbnails and then check which does better. I don’t think YouTube does this by itself if the uploader doesn’t enable it

There’s a long tail of servers/bartenders who are against this as well because they work at expensive establishments and make bank off tips. Like high double digits an hour.

If the push to convert tips into wages ever becomes serious, conservative media will do its best to platform and promote these servers who stand to lose income off it. We gotta think of a rhetoric/messaging strategy to counter that.

This + MDMA in the water supply

Well at least we made the shareholders of some military contractors richer that’s gotta count for something

Am I missing something? I thought you weren’t required to put a return address on postcards. Just put your username and email.

yes, that’s why I put it in quotes. However given the diversity of culture and language there’s still going to be slurs that the predominantly English speaking mods will not be aware of, so users should be able to set their own filters.

Op’s take is not reasonable imo- if you think threats are harmful enough to prosecute they should also be harmful enough to censor.

Maybe a more soft form of censorship, such as hiding them behind a cw and a “user was vanned for this post” label rather than outright removal, but you can’t just do nothing.

My personal opinion is that for “edge cases” like cisgender, I should be the one who decides what “slurs” I see or don’t see on the feed, rather than some shmuck twitter mod who watched a YouTube video or whatever.

The thing is, I dislike censorship in general. Corporate or government. Yes it’s the corp’s prerogative, but we’re allowed to criticize corporate censorship and hypocrisy regarding censorship.

I don’t get why people defend censorship by powerful/monopolistic companies run by billionaires while criticizing censorship by the government. They’re not that different.

(goose.jpg) portability to where?

I’m a bsky fanboy normally but this is not a benefit. The functional part of bluesky is centralized. But they’re open source and an open protocol so technically anyone can build a replacement

Tildes is many years old, founded by a former mod who did a lot of good work to clean up and grow /r/games like 12 years ago and eventually got hired by reddit, then left to start tildes.

Are there any that have a skip annoying laughter feature (/s)

Seriously tho that sort of thing seems like it would mess with the use of pauses for narrative effect

they’re just moving the tumblr backend into the WordPress software. No cause for WordPress.com to be involved
