no real hate to the original creator or post but i am not really a fan of the venture capital aspect of bluesky also it’s not even fediverse (currently only accessible via bridge) so taking the opportunity to make a factually correct meme lol 😝

          kay this is too many layers of petty for me to respond, i replaced bluesky with mastodon because bluesky isn’t fediverse. upvote or downvote i don’t care.

    I think it works either or, Bluesky might not be federated (yet (if they’re actually working on it)), but being so popular it’s kinda like a Jupiter to the Fediverse, it’s shielding us from the vast majority of asteroids right-wing nutcases

        Yea, but if .world finished off defederating from the Tankie Triad (they already did Hex and Grad lol) they would fade into obscurity

                No, they’re not. They support capitalism. They support imperialism. They’re milquetoast centrists at best who historically cater to fascists when push comes to shove. They’re frauds.

            Yes, it’s quite sane to chronically repeat the mistake we’ve been making since 1949.

              Progressives haven’t made it into power once since then so Americans have been voting against them for seventy-six years now.

                Because the human platform hasn’t won for seventy-six years neoliberals are the sanest for not choosing that platform. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

          Um, no, the tankies did not start the Fediverse. The lead Lemmy devs are Tankies yes unfortunately.

          But just because someone does something good does not mean we have to give them carte blanche to do what ever they want

    Seems legit - we aren’t the slightest bit tolerant to anyone with an even subtly different POV. e.g., the Linux distro that I use… is a Mac OSX (runs away quickly, gets beat anyway). :-P

    The point of trolling isn’t to have reasoned debate, it’s to get people riled up and acting irrationally.

    Seems like they’re still winning.

      i’m not the original poster of this and i agree that using “trolling” was a weird choice. if i was still making this myself i might have said “spreading fascist propaganda” or something.

      I wouldn’t say anyone who trolls is “winning” maybe succeeding but definitely not winning, does make me curious about your use of “they” though.

        Depends on how they define winning. They may not be winning in your eyes, but not everyone views the world (or success) in the same way.

        Or are you trolling me now?

          The only person who might view it as “winning” is the troll themselves; not any normal person. At least not by any reasonable metric. They may succeed in provoking a reaction from individuals but the term “winning” seems to imply there some ideological or political ground that’s being gained by partaking in behaviour that existed since forums day.

          What would conservatives (or members of any group) “win” in the macro by successfully trolling someone? By an average or typical point of view; not from theirs or by some nebulous definition of winning. Specifically, who else but a troll would view this as winning anything? I very well could have accidentally dragged us into a discussion of semantics (ugh) though. Just seemed like an odd choice of words but maybe I’m being pedantic. Which may be the case if you genuinely think I’m trolling you.

    It would be accurate to have “leftists” and fascists both beating up a liberal.

      You’re getting downvoted as if people don’t know about ML and Hexbear.
