I personally yes. Also I’ve seen hesitation in including them in distros because of it

Tbh I think I’m greatful that it is not under the direct purview of this administration…

Honestly he plays the heel too fucking well. Just wish he wasn’t taking so many innocents with him

More people would inclined to contribute or include it in there own projects if it wasn’t a regression in terms of FOSS.

I.e. why contribute to this project that could be forked to create tools that don’t respect the users when the main existing project doesn’t have that flaw?

Tbh, I guess I’m more frustrated with moderation there then content, you know?

I cant remeber tbh. They kind of benign places like asklemmy but on the lemmy.ml server

Fair point those workers trying to organize against unfair labor practices would undermine the state. The state was surely handling super well already actually. /s

Thank you for the reads though i will check those out even if we disagree on this so fat

Sure. US takeover of TicTok is really direct example. The current ethnic cleasing operation empowering state protected slavery. Tighter interaction between buisness and goverment where failure to toe the party line is punished through unfavorable legal action and loss of goverment contracts for them or assoiciates. A heavy investment into domostic survellence and again forced cooperation for survellence capitalists.

On the US side.

On the PRC side, the expainsion Hong Kong style loan aggreements in order to establish maritime control globally. The attempt to expand territorial rights in the south china sea in order to expand their of control on their neighbors. Exporting survelence and censorship systems and models to keep favoriable dictatorships in power (as well as probally establish backdoors though that is an assumption). The funding of any group that fights their rivals influence as well. Just things imperialist do.

Didnt know it was temp. Thank you

One was more despite the evidence of clear worker rights violations that was argued was fine because the state is “the workers”. The second I got called to provide evidence (which sure no probs there) but then silenced lmao. Super frustrating.

Thank the devs for federation and that those arent the only forsaken options

I mean the PRC and the USA arent Nazi Germany. So they are basically perfect. /s

Moral critic is kind of above geopolitical branding wars imho

I’m a big fan of my instance im on so fat. sh.itjust.works/

They are more focused on a working platform then silecing dessent

Ive been banned for criticzing the PRC explictly from a socialist perspective.

Some of the worst things happen in the US are adoptions of PRC style domestic policy and some of the worst in the PRC is the adoption of both British and US style imperealism.

I’ve been banned from several communities because I addressed the issues with slavery in China in a comment, and because I dared to critize the CCPs antiworker policies (like denying unions that dont align with what the leadership idea of the national interest).

I can get some evidence in some of the time but then ill be sudenly banned.

I tend to agree with sentiment. Its more useful idiots type then cynical profesionals feeling.

I mean the fictional racist is wrong even if she non-conformist too…

How correct the fictional racist is?

Mesh back haul can get some distance connecting some communities aa well.

I agree though, the intercontental circuts need major captial (fiber/satilite). Ideally, to me, that would multinational orgnization building common infrastruture for the collective benefit. There is no kind of org though, that doesn’t have some attempted leverage gain, so its more about creating a balance of powers then denying them.

So local nation states and coalitions, the UN, Internatiinal NGOs like the Linux Foundation, Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI), The Internet Society, local tech industry, aid from countries like the US, China, and EU members, and finally western Big Tech. These can all be stakeholders but it’s important that putting the power into the individuals and communities is a major bulwark to the intentional creation of digital underclass.

There are some really cool community owned WISP and mesh networks set ups in areas doing green fields tbh. As well as open source 5g networks (which for parts of Africa is cool because they have some pretty advanced SMS based services).
