Although i wouldn’t mind some right wing users being around, hate speech in disguise would be a problem.
Leftist people are not in any capacity perfect, quite the contrary, but at least there is more rejection of such values, thus creating a more inviting environment. Bigoted leftists are a problem as well, i hope the community doesn’t get carried away by those kinds of people.
I belong to a marginalized group, and i pretty much can guarantee you that if marginalized people rejected the vaccine, it would be for the same reasons that non marginalized groups would. Ignorance.
Marginalized groups tend not to know their own history, so although i understand your point, i think in this case ignorance acts in the same way for all groups. Don’t get me wrong, taking a more conciliatory approach should be the way to go, but in a case like the coronavirus one, taking short term measures is better than long term measures, it’s literally the difference between life and death.
Laws are pretty much a coercion mechanism, and in some places doing things that are not prohibited by laws still can get you kicked out of said place, rather than treating them as children, i assume that getting the vaccine is a matter of common sense, and if you don’t want to because you trust conspiracy theories more, then there is nothing wrong with not being allowed to be in some places where common sense is mandatory.
what platform are you using? (Mastodon? Friendica? Pixelfed?)
Mastodon, Misskey, Peertube, Pixelfed, Plume, well Lemmy… i also used diaspora but that’s a different thing.
which instance? And most important question: 3) why/how did you choose 1 and 2?
In one way or another, you soon will learn that diversity is key in this enviroment, and experimentation is required, now i am mainly on floss.social but i’ve been in many different instances since 2017, trying to look for the right place.
My first instance was an 100% free speech one, and moderation was for the most part nonexistent, very isolated to begin with, and the content was… well, what you’d expect, so i migrated.
Used two more instances for a long time but i have accounts in many others, and i finally settled down in floss.social. I follow for the most part developers, cause i’m interested in what they do, mostly GNOME devs.
Politically i dislike systemd, it just gives Red Hat too much control over GNU/Linux.
But functionally, systemd is an amazing… linux framework, let’s say, and as an operative system that rules over the supercomputer market and the server market, you need that. GNU/Linux has to be the most advanced operative system on earth since it operates on the most advanced fields. So it’s just natural that Red Hat wanted such thing.
Sometimes, and when i say sometimes i mean quite often, people don’t listen, regardless of what the experts say.
And that is because, it’s easier for them to look at conspiracy theories and gossip than to learn the truth, they are not uninformed, they are misinformed, but they have decided to be like that.
I know that sounds too forceful, but there is a crisis of ignorance in america, and you should fight against it with some decisive measures.
America has a bunch of vaccines for all the wrong reasons, not sharing the vaccines to other countries, including third world ones, all to provide the scarce resource to their people; meanwhile people are rejecting the vaccines because they read on an Instagram post that there is a communist conspiracy led by Bill Gates.
I think the answer is far simpler than this, Mastodon (or the fediverse if possible) should implement a “groups” feature, one similar to the already defunct Google+.
When “tooting” or posting, you should have the option to profile your toot as one belonging to that certain group, say, a toot aimed at the “Dragon Quest” group. Or more generalistic groups if you want to.
You can “subscribe” to those groups, and they will be displayed as trends are displayed right now, whenever you open your instance, it shows you how many new toots or posts have been published.
That means changing the UI, and adding code, but sounds like a good approach, i think the easiest implementation is to strength the hashtag feature, showing your preferred hashtags in one part of the interface.
Well i don’t know about that, fabricating microprocessors and designing them are two different things. Having that said, Globalfoundries doesn’t belong to China.
I’ve heard that intel wants to buy Globalfoundries for 30 billion dollars, so that move would potentially be used against Russia’s interests. I think at the end of the day Russia will gravitate towards the chinese sphere, regardless of what they want.
Yep, sounds like it. Backfire theory. Learn about imperialism, capitalism and socialism first before making such uneducated comments.
I wonder how downplaying my figure makes my points less valid.
Buddy, Taiwan is a separatist region, not a country. For a state to be a country, it has to be a de jure sovereignty. Taiwan is a de facto state.
You really have to check again what “de jure” and what “de facto” means. Taiwan pretty much enters in the category of a “de jure” state, since it doesn’t force it’s citizens to recognize the Taiwanese law by authoritarian means. Furthermore elections are a given and so far there are no fraud concerns.
Ever heard Taiwan declaring independence, or being recognised as a country by a majority of countries in UN, let alone just 15 countries?
This is so close to be a compelling argument to use against the existence of Palestina as an estate, it’s funny how inconsistent some people can get just to justify Chinese expansionist policy over Taiwan.
Not gonna watch the video right now, but China fulfills every category to be an imperialist country.
They are expansionist by nature, claiming Taiwan, they use their money to extend their influence, the so called soft power, they lend money to weak countries that want to develop infrastructure with the condition that if they don’t pay the money china gets the infrastructure. That is an aggressive expansionist activity.
You know you can apply that to any antifa member who wants disobey laws by resorting to violent means.
