Alaska has an open primary, the republican party does not get any say in it. Alaska is a write-in state though. In the past, I've received notices from the division of elections stating that my write-in "leave vacant" was not valid, and so was not counted. Conceivably they would just do the same for anyone writing in trump if they determine he's indelible to be on the ballot.
😖🤚 Capitalism: Liftes over a billion of the world's poorest people out of extreme poverty in the last century, but also Jeff Bezos' yacht is like, really big though.
😉👉 Socialism: Impoverished their societies so thoroughly that they starved to death (or straight-up murdered) over 100 million of their own citizens in the last century, but you gotta admit Stalin and Pol Pot had much more reasonably-sized yachts.
I'm a big fan of socialism. In particular I love the way it starved 100 million socialists to death. All those "capitalist wars" put up rookie numbers at killing socialists compared to the might of simply not feeding them 💪
I think a genie should grant the wish of every "Return to Tradition" guy posting on the internet, and they should all awake tomorrow in the time-period of their choice, in the nation or city they romanticize most from the past.
@Jennifer_Pinkley And then you would go live in the holdomor or the killing fields to experience living under authoritarianism up close, I suppose... Or are you just unimaginably hypocritical 🤔
I am far more concerned with nudity and porn being in the same "NSFW" category with extreme violence, gore, snuff clips, cruelty to animals etc then in parsing out the ethical hierarchy of different sources of porn
What is the difference between creating a post, an article, a photo, etc? Is it just a different interface for creating it, or is there some deeper technical difference?
What happens if you don't select a magazine when creating?
Let's say I want to follow friends on Pleroma/soapbox instances, is there a place in the interface where I can see and interact with a feed of non lemmy/kbin posts?
Many might not know, but the developers of Lemmy are communist tankies - and i'm not joking - that spread propagranda and misinformation. They for example deny the genocide of the Uighurs in China as it is a "hoax perpetated by the western propagandists"....
They hard-code censorship, so no, it's not a case where the tech is agnostic. They've intentionally engineered the platform to enforce conformity at a technical level with their own personal worldviews.
They hard-coded a list of no-no words. Apparently they have since made the list editable by instance admins. Which is a bit shocking to me given the abuse they hurled at anyone suggesting they do that very thing earlier in the project, which is why I stopped following its development in the first place.
I still don't think that negates my point, these are people who have no philosophical dedication to content neutral platforms, they just found it unwieldy and inconvenient to implement their desired censorship in practice. There's no reason to think they wouldn't take another bite at the apple in any given release.

What are people calling the Reddit exodus?
Rexodus? Reddexodus? Fedexodus? reddiaspora?

I'm not sure if this is the right place for a discussion, or if I should rather open an issue at Codeberg....
I'm happy to have a Lemmy-alternative like Kbin
