Thanks for clarifying. Makes sense
Good to learn about some of the piping underneath
Makes sense. It only pulls in what users on the instance subscribe to.
Thanks for clarifying!
With all due respect some parts are crudely wrong and some absurd, and the decisiveness with which you state it is unjustified and makes it hard to take you seriously.
USSR ostensibly got rid of personal property
Absolutely not. They got rid of private property. Personal property means the ownership over your personal belongings. Private property is the ownership of non-governmental entities. What existed in the USSR was public property - the property of the state
USSR was state-capitalist
Also: No. Capitalism is defined by the existence of private property, concretely the private ownership of the means of production. There was no private property.
There also were no competitive markets, no "free" price systems nor a ubiquitous profit motive, no finance capital and certainly more characteristics of capitalism.
You can't call the USSR capitalist in any capacity, that would be ignorant, the best label to assign it I've heard is: "state-socialist".
Both countries lied to the people to get a socialist revolution started
Where is that from? NED weekly magazine?;)
The USSR did fail the people in many regards, sometimes criminally so, and its important to learn from them, but for that to happen we must undertake a serious attempt at understanding them. There is a lot of neoliberal propaganda ("history is written by the winners" etc).
I didn't talk about China bc calling it capitalist is significantly less absurd but rest assured I don't subscribe to your statement.

No surprise then that the pure socialists support every revolution except for the ones that succeed
Its forgivable we have all been molded by the propaganda of out capitalist ruling class, but we can't be content with that. In the end you seem to be making a nod to communism, if that is true then stay on course we need a better socialism but we can't expect to have it if we're not willing to learn

Is it not just dependent on how many instances your instance is federating with?
I understand getting tripped up when others chime in with varying intentions. Also my initial comment should have been clearer and did leave more room to read a pedophilia accusation into it than I intended.
I can see that you argue in good faith and I apologize for some reddit impulses that I haven't unlearned yet.
Personally I don't see the equation of leftism with defending CP in OPs post though.
The way I read it OP groups "meat-eaters" into categories with each being a drastic exaggeration (the "lvl 5 bloodmouth" is a straight up cannibal) so I think none of this can be taken seriously.
One "group" is the The "Leftist" meat eater. I expand the quotes to something like The pseudo-leftist meat eater who is then represented by Vaush. To me this is basically a 1 person group that might as well just be called "Vaush" but calling him The pseudo Leftist is just one more swing at him.
I am definitely both a leftist and not a vegan and I don't mind the post in fact I found it quite funny (but obviously very few ppl agree). I agree though that slapping the CP stuff under Vaushs pic is unfair to him, as some people will take it seriously, I have to say that humor was also not lost on me though
I just don't trust people (like the person above) who [...] casually go "I think they're a pedophile"
Oof, dude you make me feel bad for giving you a good faithed response after your first comment.
For someone who urges to be careful with accusations you are pretty grossly misrepresenting my comment here
non-ironically throw around terms like "radlib"
I don't throw it around like Vaush throws around "red-fascist", "tankie", "antisemite" and every other slur , I use it specifically for someone who draws upon radical aesthetic in the abstract but supports the capitalist, imperialist status-quo in the specific.
You can chose to be offended by that, but Vaush is the definition of a radlib
Honestly I have only ever used it for him. Thinking of it I might use "Vaushite" in the future which has the added benefit of visually representing the fact that his disingenious output is nothing but a thin layer around "shit"
I guess I should have made it more clear, that I was only trying to summarize sentiment about Vaush for you to understand the reference, I was not making anything up
To be clear: I do not remember nor care what exactly Vaush argued for in that video people point to as I have no interest in wasting more time with Vaush. Personally I don't believe he would defend pedophilia and just wants to be edgy.
When I said "It is said" I meant it to be understood like "people say that about him" not that it were common knowledge. I apologize if my English was not on point.
I think your accusation towards me making something up isn't fair but I agree with your notion of being careful with the topic in general so I will edit my original comment to reflect that I can't and won't weigh in on the debate on whether he did or did not defend pedophilia.
Hence the double quotes I suspect.
If you don't know him, that person is a ytuber called Vaush - having only a couple of videos of him he strikes me as one of the most untruthful people on this planet.
He is a radlib who tries to argue on the basis on marx' and lenins work to "vote blue no matter who". I've seen him claim Marx today would've been a Biden staffer for example. He also is unable to see the programmatic imperialism behind neoliberal concepts such as free trade agreements like NAFTA and defends these conceptually. He effectively hordes socialist leaning youths back into supporting the status quo so I wouldn't wonder if one day it is revealed that the FBI secretly funds him
I think he is said to have pleaded for the legalization of consensual sexual relationships with underaged children, hence the reference.
Edit: No idea if he actually defended pedophilia. Personally I wouldn't think that he meant it. I am not an expert on Vaush (luckily) I only mentioned the accusations bc it is what tripped up the commenter.
Ich glaube der idiomatische weg communities zu teilen ist dieser:
Ich habe gelesen es gäbe clients (das web interface evtl?!) die bei einem https link auf eine fremd-instanz den user nicht "mitnehmen"
Edit: interessanterweise unterstüzt infinity diesen weg nicht, den https link aber schon. Jerboa kommt mit beiden klar
Yup, still need to do export/import. Re syncing: you'd have to use an external syncing mechanism like syncthing or nextcloud and even then you'd need to export manually.
I don't think NewPipe will ever get any syncing mechanism itself, it tries to be privacy first and doesn't support any server side code, they rejected the SponsorBlock patch bc it leakes data to a server as well
Its a very cool app and enough for me, but some things just will not be possible
