there is nothing socialist about the CCP. “Communism with Chinese Characteristics” is just capitalism.

what was stopping them from doing this previously? Isn’t this just government virtue signaling?

society sucks

then again, if your phone has “safari browser” you probably are unable to be reasoned with anyway.

Thers’s plenty of other good reasons not to use non-free closed source “SaaS” like reddit.

on a related note, hosting images on your server for users on other servers, eats up a lot of resources too. I know some instances have stopped allowing saving of images.

use a web browser…even on your phone…

You’ll see the most on the original community’s instance, but even that won’t show everything due to how activity Pub works and some platforms allowing “anonymous follow” and the like. #privacy

Many fedizens refer to lemmygrad.ml as a tankie instance, for example.

Now-a-days it is used to describe anyone who supports leftists authoritarian regimes, whether it be China, or people who act like Russia is secretly Communists, etc. Or just an insult from one leftist against anothet leftist. Like one U.S. southerner insulting another by calling him a liberal.

actually it came from when the USSR sent tanks to Hungary to keep down a workets revolution against the Soviet backed regime in the mid-twentieth century. Origanally it was used as a description for divisions in the British communist party between those who felt a global [Soviet backed] communist plan, versus those who supported independent worker collectives democratically deciding their own direction.

no you shouldn’t. Outside of leftist circles it has no meaning.

WTF said anything about wanting gun control?

if land is unoccupied, it should be free game.

yeah, but they all want to be together. For other examples look at shitposter.club noagendasocial.com etc.

I mean, the url literally contains shit.

welcome to the fediverse! Before you get “locked in” to a particular instance, take a look at your other choices and pick one that you might fit better in. https://fediverse.observer

well that instance is run by like one dude out of his mom’s basement and his server wasn’t ready for the influx

I’m not certain who would be willing to take the risk to host an instance that includes /c/gonewildcurvy or /m/gonewild though gonewildstories probably has less of a chance you’d endup in a cage because of what someone else posted that lived on your server.
