The distinction between a square and a rectangle is important, even if you don’t like right angles and parallel sides. Fascism is a flavor of authoritarianism which is uniquely worse and focused on genocide.

Not unique, but uniquely central. Fascism cannot exist without a persecuted outgroup. In other contexts, genocide is generally a state consolidating power or resources, but not the focus of these state projects.

Fediverse really needs onboarding pages that hides some of the wires.

Join Lemmy for example should highlight the content and UI, and a big “Join the Lemmy Fediverse” button. Click the button and it asks 3 questions and send you directly to account creation for an active instance matching your answers.

Frankly instance choice should be something people think about after they’ve been involved for a while, at least until we have a few multi-million active user instances to choose from

It’s unfortunate that this drop in replacement isn’t in the fediverse though. Bluesky’s success isn’t technical (yet), it is better marketing and connections with VIP users.

The black panthers are really the best example of the (few) benefits and many costs of armed community defense. It’s much worse now, too.

Yet, Mastodon had a big discoverability problem. No follow recommendations, no “highlights” tab, no search practically as follows don’t think to hashtag.

There might be many great artists and creators on Mastodon, but good luck finding them!

Pointing out flaws in the country shouldn’t be seen as a personal attack or critique. Many of the victims of America are it’s citizens (e.g., the incarcerated).

Nationalism just twists the government into our personal identity to manipulate us. Making fun of the government/system is healthy.

This isn’t “Americans dumb” content, which attacks the actual citizens and understandably may weigh on someone.

It really needed to be a peripheral device at 1/5 the price. World isn’t ready for laptop-goggles.

Kbin isn’t too bad in mobile browser fwiw, but that’s fair

The thing is, meta has a user base 100sx the size of the fediverse, and absolutely no incentive to EEE a project that is very very niche and inaccessible to a lay audience.
