  • Honestly no, and that’s okay?

    Early web2 websites like MySpace did become “popular”. But IMO one of its layckings was trying out web2 by evolving something from web1’s static websites.

    Where Facebook is the platform that popularized web2 in a way that worked with what web2 was and fundamentally build something new off of that.

    I think Lemmy/mastatdon/most current federated clones that exist today won’t last all that long. Something that is built with federation to its core and instead of just being a feature, is central to its offering.

    What is that? Not a god damn clue.

    But I’m excited to try it out.

    Disclaimer: not a historian. Born in the early 90s so a lot of my judgement above is bassed off of foggy memories and are my opinions and only opions.



  • You keep saying it’s not as bad as Hitler or mao, but then akwnoledge it has been?

    This ignores atrocities that we did do in the time. Like the Alberta eugenics board. Just because the scale of people wasn’t the same, doesn’t mean it wasn’t bad.

    When do you think the last residential school closed? This is RECENT times.

    It’s not a suffering Olympics. It’s not about the number of bodies, it’s about the attitude of those who stood by and benefited from the system.

    And just because the starlight tours are illegal, can you find one example of an officer who was prosecuted for it? Because if there’s no punishment is it really illegal?

    To sya they’re incomparable is to ignore the people who are suffering, telling you it is.












  • I see the common mistake of associating the left with authoritarianism.

    China and such are not left. They’re even further right to the point of fascism labeled communism.

    Remebere communism/socialism is about the workers relation to the means of production. Chinese people do not own the factories they work on, so I’m not sure you can call them left.
