No one said that the proletarian revolution has to be bloody. Even no one said that there has to be violence. However, the bourgeoisie will first resort to violence. See 1905 in Russia. The red terror was also only a reaction to the white terror. It is up to the bourgeoisie how a revolution will take place. I hope it is understandable what I am trying to say

They are turning fediverse into a echo-chamber thing

It's more an attempt to create an echo chamber. And that doesn't even work well, because you can make an account somewhere else.

What exactly changes in the affected instances if lemmygrad users are denied access? If an instance were to attract proportionally bad attention because it was spamming, it could all make sense. But currently it's like on Reddit: If a mod sees that you're active in a subreddit that doesn't suit them, they ban you. Only here they ban you from a whole instance that also has non-political communities.

Edit: mistake in word

"Thus, tankie is now used to describe much more than the set of communists who supported specific events from the Soviet era. The term tankie now covers communists who support “actually existing socialist countries” (AES); especially those with a Stalinist or authoritarian leaning. Although there is not really a concrete definition, recent work by Petterson [ 94] provides a succinctdescription of tankie:

Tankies regard past and current socialist systems as legitimate attempts at creating communism, and thus have not distanced themselves from Stalin, China etc. "

Yes, well recognized, the term is vague and can mean everything or nothing. It does not make sense. There are people who see only the Soviet Union as a successful workers' revolution, but not the rest. For some, China represents revisionism, so does Vietnam, or North Korea, or Cuba, etc. I've met people who are all about Enver Hoxha, everything else is revisionism. That is such an enormous range of different views, yet they are all tankies. I've witnessed Trotskyites beeing called tankies because they are against NATO.

To work with such a stupid definition is absolute nonsense. I myself have been called a tankie often enough, because I keep pointing out that the term has no substance in historical and political discourse. I even never discussed something political. Pointing out, that this term is stupid is enough to be a tankie - my experience.

I hate centrism

Wouldnt say that, their anticommunist propaganda is also kind of anti-semitic

Since May, according to Microsoft, Chinese hackers have been secretly accessing data from the State Department and Commerce Department, among other targets including Western European entities.

Shut the fuck up. Its not Chinas fault, that Microsoft miserably failed. Whoever of the whatever-department decided to put their stuff in to the microsoft cloud was an idiot. How the fuck could this happen at the first place. This remindes of Solardwinds, when their password "solarwinds123" (What a secure password!) has been spotted on their Github repo.

MSA (consumer) keys and Azure AD (enterprise) keys are issued and managed from separate systems and should only be valid for their respective systems. The actor exploited a token validation issue to impersonate Azure AD users and gain access to enterprise mail.

They had one fucking job. But no no, its not their fault, its China! Dont look at us, our cloud products are still great. And please dont forget to put 20 layers of snake oil on your computer

Seems to be a german thing. I guess in english "White Trash" is kind of comparable. But Prolet has its pejorative meaning beyond skin colour.

It is definitely beeing used to degrade the working class. The german wikipedia article describes it well.

Many people lack a basic understanding of what non-verbal violence is and what it does.

I am really sorry that you are in such a situation right now. How long will it take until you can move out?

For me, it was particularly important to be able to create a filter list of subreddits that should not be shown to me. I was able to filter out all the US-related stuff in particular. I do not live there.

I don't know if the official app can do that. Even if it does, I don't feel like patching it so I don't have to see ads.

The only Android clients I don't really like are the ones I found on F-Droid.

I'm just not that familiar with it yet. I had commented on something once, it was there and then gone after a while without me knowing why.

So we can still see them but they not us? Ok didnt know that. I thought you are then not able to see posts there. So no liberals will visit my pigeon sub, I can live with that.

To be honest I understand the possibility to defederate as a mechanism to get rid of spammy instances. Like blocking a mail provider which is known for sending spam mails. But creating echo chambers is quite stupid. I mean, I sometimes visit liberal communities an read their stuff so I know what is going on there. On Reddit I had the possibility to filter subs out (Boos for Reddit). But it was still my decision what I want to see and what not. Here they simply decide for the entire user base.

And this stupidity goes even further. I once read a post on reddit how someone discouraged using Lemmy, the software itself, because it is coded by "tankis". Unbelievable.

Edit: Typo

I should really improve my English. Some of the phrases I've heard before and I have an idea of what they mean. But "Be the guinea pig" I hear for the first time. I prefer to be a pigeon instead of a guinea pig.

Do you remember the name of their newspaper? Selling books from Trotsky and anarchist stuff is weird. Thats a contradiction and shows the theoretical confusion of that group

It is kind of sad regarding other communities, espacially non-political like r/cptsd, r/pigeons (people loved my pigeons there) or r/geese. Its cool if you can show someone a picture of your pigeon and its getting a positive response.

This is good to hear. In the past I always waited for the day when I turned 18 and could move out. It is sadly the only advice possible to give someone who is under 18 (US and Europa. Dont know about other countries).

The fact that violence is often understood as physical violence drives me crazy. Even governments around the world use methods of violence or torture that are not physical.

In a family context, it can be very bad because the family is still considered a social security. There are enough people who are trapped in such situations simply for economic reasons and can't get out (violence in marriage, for example).

By the way, I was amazed by the subreddit r/cptsd how certain things are similar as far as psychological violence is concerned. Even the words chosen sometimes are identical.

Congratulations! But what is 9th grade?

I have already understood that. But I was referring to the source mentioned :)

Probalby a question of the language you use, maybe this is the reason why OP is writing about psychological violence. German knows "psychological violence" as a term (psychische Gewalt) and it is beeing used.. Also in russian we call it "психологическое насилие". I also see, that the wikipedia article about "psychological absue" says that, that "psycholotical violance" is an other name for that.

It all sounds very, very desperate. I know how it can be. Do you get medical help, do you know where to go if it gets acutely bad again?

How concrete is that antifascism. Having gay sex is a personal choice, based on one's own preference. Furthermore, it fails to recognise what fascism actually is: the atomisation of all organs of the working class.
