Jewish fascism, not Nazism.

Nazism is, in part, defined by its anti-semitism and, while many of Israel’s supporters are anti-semitic (notably Christian Zionists but also those who insist that ‘real’ Jews support Israel regardless) it’s just not appropriate to identify Nazism as the form of fascism practiced by Israel. It is authoritarian and supremacist but it is not specifically Nazi.

Ur-Fascism is a good read.

It’s not supposed to help you spell the word? It’s a comment on the danger of assuming things.

Executives likely to use such a device aren’t using public transit.

Yes they are. Probably not in the country that calls it transit, mind. And lots of people would like to be able to have more private conversations in public, whether or not they’re travelling at the time.

Plus, I’ve seen a lot of threads over the years from gamers, or the people who have to live with them, looking for something exactly like this.

Thank you! Surprised the report didn’t mention that (I was too lazy to do a search).

The subhead misses out the worst stuff. How on earth?

Criminal charges still in the works, I would hope.

Is this another thing that the rest of the world didn’t know the US doesn’t have?

Using the wrong picture is almost as ridiculous as reducing his career to Dumbledore. For shame.

“90% of content moderators are foreigners. What we have experienced during the process is very hard… spending three months without receiving a salary, in a country that isn’t yours. You cannot pay the rent, you cannot buy food,” Nkuzimana explains. Cori Crider – co-director of Foxglove, a British organization that is supporting the workers in this process – adds that this situation “forces [the content moderators] to continue accepting insecure jobs to remain in [Kenya], despite the serious risk to their mental health.” Moderators have resorted to crowdfunding, so that they can support their families as the legal fight unfolds.

Just highlighting the exploitation of migrant workers here, like much of Twitter’s remaining workforce, apparently. It also reminded me of this story: The fishermen:

On November 22, Joanne circulated a letter among the migrant crew. “I have been made aware the crew members are contacting an outside representative,” it read, possibly referencing a call Quezon made to Stella Maris seeking help for Susada. “I am also aware that crew members have been leaving their port without permission or making our office aware. Sadly the actions by these crew members are beginning to ruin the trust and faith we have placed in our Filipino crew.” It concluded by noting they would make reports to local police and UK immigration authorities “if necessary”.

These people are fucking sick. The whole system that denies people the legal right to work just so they can be more easily exploited is fucking sick.

I’m going to go and punch some walls. Laters.

Kbin does Lemmy and Mastadon.

You can follow Lemmy communities on your Mastadon account. But I wouldn’t recommend it. You get a string of out-of-context posts dominating your feed.

You can follow Lemmy communities from Mastadon but not the other way around. And it doesn’t work well anyway.

You can use Kbin for both Lemmy and Mastadon.

But Mastadon content is not very Lemmy-like so if all you want is the BBC toots, but not a Mastadon account, you might as well bookmark bbc.social and scroll it occasionally.

Ah yes, the massive (pun intended) drawback of hashtags. Unless you actually wanted to follow a mix of news and porn.

It’s instant verification for all their accounts and an instance that won’t disappear on them.

Read it yourself, but think it through this time.

And having seen your edit of the OP, I quit Facebook something like 15 years ago and only ever had fake name accounts.

I quit Twitter the day Musk took over. I quit Reddit the night before it went dark. I’ve been boycotting Google as much as is possible for well over a decade.

Have I polished my halo enough for you to stop sneering and start growing up?

FFS

I have trouble believing that humans can’t get by without meat, or cars, or carbon fuel, or mass-produced clothes, or supermarkets, or .

It does not matter what you believe, or what you prioritise. Other people have different beliefs and have made different choices. If you want them to think and choose differently, don’t start off by telling them that they’re scum while you polish your imaginary halo.

And for fucks sake don’t fill the Fediverse up with so much narcissistic, whiny crap that everyone who isn’t you fucks off somewhere else.

This is not hard.

Neither time nor energy are infinite. We all have to make choices. If you want people to make different choices, try carrots instead of sticks.

And if you want people to decide that the Fediverse a better place to be, stop filling it up with whining about how not everyone has joined it yet.

You insult billions of people on the basis that they don’t do exactly what you do but find it insulting when someone points out your hypocrisy?

Grow the fuck up.

Calm the fuck down. Read it again.

If you want to change the world, rather than just polish your halo, put your narcissism away and do better.

we are on the internet talking about people using social networks

Exactly. Other people care about different things for equally good reasons. Unless you are doing absolutely everything that other people might want to focus their energies on, you’re a fucking hypocrite. And if you are doing even a tiny fraction of those things successfully, you’re a rich kid playing at life and berating everyone else for not having been born lucky.

Quit it. Please.
