I’m not blaming the single person who did a mistake, I’m blaming the negligence of the companies that cut corners for profit, so most of them.

Your first comment read as if organizations where this happens couldn’t have bad consequences. Your new comment explains what you meant better, and I agree.

Ok, people will always fuck up, so what do you do?

The majority of industries that actually have immediate and potentially fatal consequences do exactly this, and have been for more than a generation now.

All the organizations (including public) getting ransomware and data stolen, it’s because the consequences are not that bad? It is not gross negligence?

I feel like it means: we are not like Nintendo, we make video games for adults (and children who want to play like adults).

2001 especially.

Left or right is an economic stance

What about the social stance?

Boss, you’ll never guess why I can’t make it today.

For mage in pain:

There’s probably a bunch of idealistic engineers dreaming to change the world for the better in the beginning, easily tamed by large amounts of cash when it starts to turn darker.

ISO8601 🙌

If they are capable of taking this decision during such an important time, why would an internet petition change their views? The only way to have them do it is regulation that will hurt their turnover if they don’t comply.

Communism didn’t invent empathy, humanism, solidarity, freedom or free sharing; it probably grew from there, and other things like FOSS can grow from there without being communist.

Do you find lemmy.world defending the USA wrongdoing to be of a comparable extent as lemmy.ml defending the authoritarian left regimes wrongdoing?
I feel like lemmy.world is still pretty left compared to reddit and very commonly criticizing all the stupid wars the USA have been into as well as its support for Israel in its current war.

Read what Dessalines wrote on his reddit or essays, there’s no doubt that he supports authoritarian communism.

Because it’s not just any political view, tankism is part of the ideologies that support regimes which unmistakably restrict the freedom of speech. This could be an issue for an internet forum.
It’s actually not different from having a right wing billionaire buying a social media. It’s very much the same thing, and most people on the fediverse are there to avoid this kind of political influences on the platform.

So you confirm you used the original meaning? Then yes, that’s pretty average Western. You wrote it as if it was some extremist position, but it’s not, hence my question.

They should consider going back.

There’s probably some western countries or political groups that will judge this as being antisemitism because they follow the logic that the existence of Israel is essential to the survival of the Jewish people. This idea was obviously much more consensual after WW2 than today.

And if I wanted to participate, I’d probably be welcome so long as I follow the rules.

Not only the rules, you also have to avoid critizing the dominant ideology, otherwise you will get at best dog pilled, at worse harassed and censored by moderation.

Lemmy.world is ran by Zionists.

Do you mean people in favor of the existence of a state of Israel (original meaning) which is most of the Western world, so unsurprising, or in favor of the colonization after the 1993 “two states solution” agreement?
If it’s the later, do you have proof?

FYI, the second main dev, Nutomic, although he doesn’t write as much, is in the same ideology, his avatar is Fidel Castro, the Cuban dictator.

During their AMA, 10 months ago, I directly asked them:

Since you’re very upfront with your political preferences, how much did it play a role in motivating you to create Lemmy? Was it a tech experiment first and a political project second?
Do you have some kind of core principle to not let your political preferences excessively interfere with your role as founders, main developers and moderators of Lemmy?

Thanks for your work, it’s projects like that keep the ideal of the open internets alive. https://lemmy.ml/post/2920188/2385128

They intentionally ignored my questions and answered to other later questions with fewer points.

Eventually, 10 months later, my personal observation is that it seems that they keep their ideology tendencies to their home instance, which is fair enough since people are free to leave and block. And they don’t seem to be developing some centralized International political oppression feature into Lemmy, like their role models may have, so far.

Don’t forget that you can block an instance personally now.

Imagine all the Pol Pot…

“I’m paying with exposure.” argument is not that great. Agreed with easy access to culture for those who can’t spare the money though.
