  • Evan Prodromou and the Social Web Working Group (SocialWG) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) are the creators of ActivityPub

    Not desalines or any ML controlled group. All they did was create a Reddit like interface to the platform. After being driven from Reddit for their intolerance.

    I sometimes post from Mastodon to servers running this and other software. In fact the reason I’m on world. Is specifically due to its relation to mastodon.social. one of the bigger Mastodon instances I use. It’s got nothing to do with a software. If Rud and the other admins decided tomorrow to migrate the database to a different backend. I don’t think there would be much outrage or many people would care. In fact I’m certainly probably will in the future. As soon as a back end is available that provides significantly better Community / magazine moderating tools. Since I will significantly whiten the load on server administrators. Since things can be done at the community level instead of at the server all the time.









  • A few things. Communism isn’t Marxist leninism. Communism isn’t authoritarian. And it’s not just Stalin and Mao. It’s literally everywhere Marxist leninism has ever been attempted. Communism is a classless stateless society. Therefore a Marxist leninist government will never become communist. Because they are defined by their class separation of those with political power and those without, and the strong overbearing presence of the state.

    There’s nothing objectionable to Communism whatsoever. And no one should have any qualms about defending it ever. What we should question is why one group of authoritarians the Marxist leninist desire to be so closely tied to it. And another group of authoritarians the capitalists demand everyone be afraid of it.

    So have many pounding it now. It’s not any more genocide than it was for the last 20 to 40 years. It’s definitely kicked up a notch. But always been genocide. Seeing so many on the “left” pop up as single issue voters around it in the last year. Is good but specious. Seeing how many of them claim to want to pull Democrats to their side, but not Republicans. Is suspicious. And those aiming to enable the worst actors because Democrats aren’t dropping everything to give them everything they desire. Downright sinister. And not to be enabled or normalized.

    I don’t disagree that compromising on genocide etc should ever be an acceptable situation. But it is the situation were sadly in. That so many would claim to want to stop the genocide, while glibly hand waving away any improvement to the conditions. That aren’t perfect, complete, or pure in their eyes. It’s unconscionable. Childishly screeching at any that disagree with or point out flaws in their claims or views. As blue maga or genocide enablers. Make no mistake that they are nearly as much a roadblock to solutions as those actually championing the genocide.

    Lots of people talk big. Claiming that they have the solution. That it’s easy. That they only need to do this one trick. That’s how you know they’re full of shit.
