He strikes me as the kind of person who uses words like “bourgeoisie” to sound smart and thoughtful… but uses them while regurgitating talking points from fox “news”.
They’re not much different from the republicans they so detest. Hell I mean even Cuba is apathetic towards transgender people, Nutomic should be like them.
certified .ml moment
Its nice having terrible social skills sometimes to the point where I make people drop the mask quicker.
It also helps that nutomic and Dessalines are both certifiable.
It's kind of a shame. I really like the platform and the concepts inherent to federated social media, but it really sucks that the maintainers of the codebase are hostile to any ideology but their own.
I wanted to support them before but now I’m hoping someone forks their codebase.
What the fuck is that guy on about???
The Olympics thing is misinfo that spread around after a boxing match https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/08/02/imane-khelif-olympics-boxing/
No I know about that.
But what the fuck do trans have to do with the bourgeoisie???
If anything most of the ones I know are anticapitalist.
@cyborganism @GammaGames There's a particular category of "leftist" who, to put it gently, have a greatly simplified view of the world in which "the only war is class war." They regard social issues such as anti-racism, feminism, queer liberation as distractions from the "true" cause of bringing about a new economic system - unimportant at best, active interference invented by the ruling class at worst.
Basically, they're narrow-minded bigots.
As someone who just joined and picked .ml because it seemed generally leftist
What the fuck?
It is generally leftist. Unfortunately you are probably imagining leftist economics but they want "leftist" authoritarianism. They despise capitalism. They love state capitalism. They will excuse any atrocities and human rights violations that occur as long as the country is extremely authoritarian and pretending to be economically left.
They are historical revisionists as well. Admins are extremely fragile. They will ban you from every community for writing historically accurate facts. If you find this screenshot appalling you should preemptively switch to a different instance before they catch you doing wrongthink and ban you.
Source: I had a lemmy.ml account for the same reasons as you.
"The bourgeoisie" trying to stir up controversy and divide people? No doubt that seems very far fetched to any serious Communist.
Some .ml cunt being a nutwad? Truly shocked, man.
They are one of the two people who created Lemmy.
Don't judge kids based solely on their parent. Lemmy has outgrown them.
Update:
Just got banned from !linux@lemmy.ml
Dude straight up banned you for the fact that actions have consequences. Frankly I'd wear getting banned by him as a badge of honor. Sure, what you're experiencing is also considered consequences, but I think it was worth it. You have my support, new friend
Thank you. It does feel good standing up for other people <3
How are you going to get your first developer funded in donations when you say stuff like that?
Yep, this just prevented me, a trans woman, from ever donating to the main Lemmy project. I'm severely disappointed. I'll donate only to good instances with leadership I know aren't phobic.
This literally ignores the experiences of trans people, all of whom lost something in order to transition, and many everything. The system is being weaponized against us at every level. What an ignorant thing to say.
This guy also insisted on keeping the nazi instance explodingheads listed under 'recommended instances' on joinlemmy.org.
Context?
His argumentation is dumb.
But even more so, IF the bourgeoisie were promoting pro-trans stuff. It would NOT be suprising that the bourgeoisie would ALSO be promoting anti-trans stuff. It fans the flame of this “culture war”which according to communist theory, would distract people from realising the “true divide” in society is class, and workers to unite.
TLDR: He’s clearly a conservative of some sort because his logic is incompatible with communist theory.
Puts transphobes in quotation marks, bans everything he considers “sinophobia” even if you just mention literal policy in china. why are tankies so weird about so much stuff
Well, those were certainly words.
As a reminder, luckily code does not mean understanding... It's just the right words in the right order. The code itself is blameless, it's not great code or anything (and on request, I can be extremely precise in my criticisms), but it's good enough to be used for good things
who?
The second developer of Lemmy the other is Dessalines
oh. i guess that kinda sux. good thing there's no such thing as a CEO of lemmy
What a fucking idiot.
FediLore + Fedidrama
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
