I’ve never said that, my point is that are normal people who are indoctrinated and need discussion. They are much more likely to internalize that discussion if you do so in a civil manner, you don’t need to insult to get a point across. I know of many comrades who believed in imperialist propaganda but changed their minds thanks to people doing this. Maybe that’s not you case and you were born a Marxist Leninist.

As revolutionaries, we don’t have the right to say that we are tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us.

In terms of civility, I feel that respect should exist on both sides, if trying to argument or convey a point. There’s an important distinction, though. If you’re talking with someone about something that directly affects them while you’re on the other side, it feels and is different. For example, if you’re talking with a Latinamerican about what recently happened in Venezuela, your “argument” feels pretty much like an attack filled with hate, while on the receiving end that impoliteness towards this person is more about frustration and a negation of the whole reality they’re living. Violence by oppressors is hate, violence against oppressors is liberation. Of course no one is going to topple the US empire discussing online, but to illustrate my point a bit.

The thing is that Lemmy.ml is a general purpose instance, it’s not about promoting Marxism, but still it upholds values that for certain people look like inconceivable requisites. We do not ask you to become a communist, but simply to understand that the rules based order imposed by the US do not apply here. We want to hear what oppressed people cannot say elsewhere.

I used that comment as a ban but honestly I could have chosen any, they were all over the community commenting all sorts of things.

? Forum is singular, Fora is plural, just like Medium, Media

Every time I described Lemmy or Reddit to my friends I’ve always said that it’s something like “A forum with more fora inside”, and then I explain the federated part.

Yeah, I wasn’t expecting a name but at least being able to look for a Wikipedia article or something else like that. Still very cool, though.

so, isn’t there even a speculation about this language’s name?

What was the supposed toll of Victims of Communism again?

You should install Steam on your distro’s native package manager, it’s always better than flatpak since it doesn’t have to deal with file permissions.

Mozilla needs so much to stop having a fucking CEO who gets paid millions and start using that money to improve the browser.

AFAIK HDDs are super resilient as long as you store them properly, I have HDDs from the 90’s and they’re still working, of course the technology advances and they have very slow speed and storage but they work. They’re basically a disc inside a metal shell that contains them so if they don’t suffer damage or get overused they should be fine.

I’m sure this is most likely for archival purposes and not for general use.

King castles and the rook goes to f1 and then rook to f8?

Manual labor, the Communist Party of China pays us to keep Lemmy free of bots and revisionists.

I think the only ones that do that are Showtime (which was already mentioned) and Clapper which looks even better IMO. I still have VLC installed because it has just so many other features but Clapper is really good if you don’t need to do anything weird with the video or subtitles to work. I really feel you on the GUI.
