That is the one thing the admins of those instances could really enforce, just ban people for usage of it and be done with it, but no instead ban 20k people.

Yes, cause it is sensible to see how a feature interacts with your community. This is the reform approach with feedback and decision making by the community. It is also a good practice to reflect and tune what you do.

I do see that lemmygrad is more aligned to some ML types, while hexbear is a bit wider, which does make for a difference. But it doesn't seem the strain of communism is the main problem for the de-federating people.

However we have a more diverse set of opinions in our user base, since we don't ban people that quick (i.e. in terms of war in Russia we have some revolutionary defeatists, some anti imperialists who favour a weakening of the imperialist NATO (which really irks other instance admins, etc.).

To moderate a sub sub sub comment of a main thread is a bit funny though.

Eh, we are not so much a fan of that conspiracy on this site. Imperial governments don't have to control all the things, they can just use bs to justify invasions in any case.

Seems you dislike hexbear cause they call you out on ableism, which isn't "in group" culture, it is not being a dick to allies and comrades.

Workers pay should increase based on the value they create

Who do you think should get shares from the worker's fruits of labours, too? Who do you think ought to distribute them on the level of a company and on the level of societies?

Housing should not be an asset for profit

What changes in laws and legislation as well as enforcement of power are needed for that? To de-commodify what Neoliberalism and Colonialism as well as Imperialism did privatize over the last centuries will be a hard fight.

How do you think power can be generated to achieve those goals? Which in itself are idealist or utopist. The question is how to change the world after all.

pro market economy, but not in a capitalist sense

So "Markets Not Capitalism: Individualist Anarchism Against" type?

Quite a leap you do there. Ignoring political science and social science of more than 100 years, ignoring how social democratic liberals in the Weimar Republic did ally with conservatives and the military against party member who weren't in favour of the war with talk of traitors and propaganda of being the voice of the enemy (which is the back then equivalent of "Russian Bots") is certainly something.

You also ignore the difference i.e. from USA liberal's who favour property rights over people's lives and often espouse values only as long as it doesn't cost a thing and how they do support the US empire and often its wars.

You also leap since OP didn't say "all are against me!", but was precise. That you don't understand slang is kinda a You problem. You also deny the experience of others, maybe that is something that you also do in your regular life and social interactions? If so you can utilize a change of perspective and behavior to get more from the world. People here - even ones who are far from Russian propaganda - are often called Russian bots by people on many instances, often by people labeling themselves as liberals. I have different views than many on this site and yet I can differentiate what people say.

Finally do you think your argument is in any way new or interesting? Like, what was your motivation to post it?

What is the best way to learn Spanish?

I remember when Chomsky was young

I just wanted to say that the Midwest is cool and not flyover country as some coastal liberals might believe. Cleveland, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, all cool cities. The Midwest is the breadbasket (ok, cornbasket) of the country too, and keeps me full with cheap processed foods, so thank you.

Yes, there is much going on in terms of communication between urban centres and areas around them. What you write besides that is true, too, of course. But it is also cheap cause of subsidies and a bit of imperial power as well as colonial past.

I read that the clique around Bush did aim to "pay back" stuff a thousand times, seems that they more or less managed to do that, even though the pay back was genocide against innocent people, which the USA has a tradition that reaches further back then the Vietnam War.
