EEE is a real thing but nobody has yet to provide a concrete mechanism that can come about from just federation with Threads.

That's because he's an AI.
The lack of critical thought has done a number on society.
Likewise, society (disproportionately affected by the booj and those who serve them) reinforces this lack of critical thought. Someone in the genzedong Matrix server is in the process of translating one of Ho Chi Minh's works into English and shared this relevant passage:
The capitalists and imperialists use culture and religion to make the people dumb, use laws to bind the people, use power to scare the people, and use wealth to make the people selfish. They make the people frightened to the bone whenever they hear of the word Revolution. So, Revolution must first start with waking the people up.
Anarcho-syndicalists may make what are effectively states with another name, but I doubt one of them would refer to it as such.
I'm not entirely sure; it just seemed like the kind of amusing half-baked idea that would be perfect for a shitpost.
AES isn’t communism, that’s kind of the point.
If you're using communism to refer specifically to the classless, moneyless society where production is done for common need/want instead of individual profit, that is correct. However, communists have used the term to refer to something that actually does currently exist as well.
From the very first point in Principles of Communism:
What is Communism?
Communism is the doctrine of the conditions of the liberation of the proletariat.
This quote from The German Ideology is both very important and too often overlooked:
Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality [will] have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence.
With this in mind, while no AES has abolished class society, the people directing these states are communists, and the movement they are taking to liberate the proletariat is communism.
I usually see Mastodon posts showing up as comments in Lemmy as opposed to posts. Back before the reddit exodus when the userbase was smaller, if you saw a random post get a shit ton of likes and comments, there was a good chance that was because Mastodon users engaging with it.
The Lemmy version of the antifascist bulwark.
Sneaky communists, trying to conceal the fact that they're communists by having their username be the same as a based Haitian anti-colonial kkkrakkker killer, making their PFP Fidel Castro, their banner Mao, and having a large public reading list of communist literature and US atrocities as well as a youtube account with a shit ton of audio books of communist literature! These communists are experts at hiding their true intentions so that normal(tm) people will be willing to consider their views!
