I realize we’re inherently not capitalistic platform because everyone has the access to own their portion. Pretty cool imo and not to toot the horn for the millionth time, it definitely seems like the future of the internet
My partner has been insinuating that I'm a communist recently. I don't think I'm a communist, I simply want to seize the means of production for the people.
It hasn't really been my experience here. Yeah there is some.
Have you tried being less aimless at what you subscribe here? Do you come here because you want to connect with information, or just mindlessly doom scroll and consume?
If you're not intentional about your social media tools, you will have a bad time.
Not sure what you're talking about. Since the summer it's just been post about Dems and how Republicans are weirdos. Honestly, the socialist presence on Lemmy is lacking.
In an ironic twist, the defining characteristic of socialists in America, is also one of the defining characteristics of being American:
"Butbutbut ... MY socialism is bigger than YOUR socialism."
I've been blocking political communities, so I don't get so much of this. I would recommend you also block communities that annoy you. We're in the same boat of browsing by top X hours.
Solarpunk doesn't really bug me though because it's (supposed to be) more about the good that could be rather than complaining about what is. (Don't get me wrong, complaints can be valid, but that's not what I come to Lemmy for.)
Eh, beats fascism, I guess. The far-left people are just as bad though... That echo chamber makes the conservative safe spaces back on Reddit look wild and free.
You would think, you would really think, that a platform built on federation and being inherently anti-censorship would have some resistance against becoming an echo chamber.
Blocking hexbear and lemmy.ml no joke removes 95% of shitposting and socialism/communism spamming. Should be done by default. Just block any overly political sub tbh.
And none of those people who post about socialism understand that it's utterly unfeasible due to basi human nature, but it's funny to see them live in their own delusions. If only humans were better.
