Feel free to message me via Lemmy if you need tips on how to get on XMPP. In general, Mastodon and Lemmy direct messages should be avoided.

How to say Marx was right without saying “Marx was right”.
Hard disagree, this is a liberal doing the usual thing. As John Bellamy Foster elaborates on in his articles and books, the fight against climate change isn’t lost, it’s been abandoned by the ruling class of imperial core countries. Look up some of his stuff on Monthly Review the ecological rift is a very important concept that never appears in the kind of discourse you’re posting
Done by who? Done how? Tf does this mean
There are plenty of societies that have strong state-backed training and education programs. The AI narrative is majority a smokescreen for financialization and downsizing of firms and privatizarion of the state
Just like with the blockchain, China’s been the first to implement a version with an actual use - not financial speculation and buying drugs, and a more power and resource efficient version - of overhyped tech financial bubble buzzword technologies, because they don’t judge its utility differently than any other technology. They don’t have these religious financial cults around AI
They will likely be the only nation other than close regional SEA allies to implement AI in governance effectively instead of using it to somehow make servers using UI from 2014 worse + more insecure & strengthening the Tesla/Palantir/Anduril investor pitch " The Evil Privatized Government Has Anointed Us Chief Devourer of the State Social Services/Tech/Green Energy Budget" where everyone can stuff the 1 trillion dollars the fed prints daily for banks
First worlders who want to pull themselves back out of the hole somehow should stop focusing singlemindedly on minimum wage struggle and public debt, and start worrying about land reform, access to hours + employment, and public housing.
Downvotes don’t matter as much here anyways since you can get high quality content by sorting from new and muting some communities + instances. That’s not true of reddit’s garbage pile.
I’d like a sort by the most up + down votes total so I can see what made someone angry enough to bot or brigade at one time or another
I’d pester them to add the OpenStreetMaps fork as well. Go ahead and write them, I will forget. I just use a weird app to redirect links because I only use maps on my phone anyways
Lol, it wasn’t hard to find twitter addicted programmers to maintain it. Now that Anubis is being used to block crawling, the instances are far healthier
Added an RSS feed for modlogs.
You’re so thoughtful omg
You people are barely sentient
This is a community for the discussion of activitypub instances and the software they run, not video games
Also the EU isn’t real. Grow up

The future is now
This kind of offbeat FOSS social media stuff can’t replace the major social media monopolies anyways, it serves a different purpose. People just need a backup and evasion from the US finance-tech-military cartel. If you try and put the screws on people who came to you looking for a better option, they’ll just flee. Nothing that can be done about the propaganda and advertising though & I reckon it is a bigger issue than the petty harassment and powermodding, which is mostly just deranged roleplaying
USA is the only country that can enact unilateral sanctions on others. It controls the world’s financial system since it absorbed the colonial empires as a result of WWII (I am heavily bowlderizing and abridging this watch the dang videos they’re long sorry)

I think that if the lemmy.world people want to wall themselves off and take over their digital fiefdom it will make people take the artificial public opinion less seriously, the way most older lemmy users outgrew reddit. It seems like something they do to reassure themselves. Then again, this network & Mastodon etc are well-known to intelligence contractors. If they had no presence posting + voting here they wouldn’t be doing their jobs.
I’m not Muslim either, but I am sincere when I return your salaam :)
Was raised secular protestant, I didn’t even get interested in the history of religion until the past couple years led me to delve into monetary history. Now I feel like I’ve been missing out on all the driving forces of ancient history and getting treated to glorified trivia
You’re already welcome to repost anything of mine and I’m interested to learn about that community as well, so thanks for mentioning it
Don’t worry about that!! I’m nice!!! Not trying to engage in Mind Warfare or whatever.
Leaving this as a mental note to explain how the tech capitalists in the US work because it’s a pretty exceptional situation, also will answer the question about Islamic warfare in the other thread. It’s just like 1:30 am here lol
The problem is that the whole ruling class in Canada is as locked into the US financial system as Europe
