    I wish there were alternatives to Reddit. If anyone has a recommendation, let me know.

      I almost feel like there’s an answer there for you, but I can’t put my finger on it.

      However, last night I had a vision about th singer of Motorhead. I think it means something…

      How do you feel about Linux and leftist infighting?

            The wrong kind of Leftist ruined Leftism, not the right kind.

        I feel like the tankie brand of leftism shouldn’t be called that. Their embracing of technocrat totalitarians kind of puts them out of the left field.

          You know, for all the complaints I see of tankies, I have encountered 10x more people who incessantly complain about them.

            The problem is that a lot of people, specially Americans, have interiorized “red scare” propaganda notions, even when they see themselves as Lefties.

            If you don’t just mentally go “uuh, commies” at the mere wiff of communal solutions it’s a lot easier to actually look at certain ideas and judge them on their actual pros and cons, as is spotting authoritarianism for what it is (whether it claims to want to implement leftwing notions or rightwing ones) and tribalism (of the kind that supports Fascism whilst claiming to be leftwing, and I include both Putin supporting “communists” and Zionism supporting “liberals”)

            I don’t incessantly complain, but my Lemmy experience had improved massively by banning the most notorious instances.

      IIRC there is an open source project for forums communities.

      It’s called SMF I think.

      I know right? Also iirc there was some discord alternative, but I can’t quite remember the name… it’s just as well, the company owning it probably shut it down. It’s not like it’s some free protocol that can be used by anyone, sigh 😞

        Hackernews is just chock full of techbros who think that since they know how to code, that automatically makes them rational and more authoritative on a subject than most people. Every time I go there I’m surprised by how crappy it is lol

        Edit: somehow misspelled “techbros” lol

          Hacker News might be the most insufferable and childishly naive place on the internet.

        Love hackernews but if it gained huge traction outside of the programmer community, it’d be corpinated and enshittified in the blink of an eye by a team of MBAs.

      I have been hearing really good things about this new service called X. Very small and friendly community. You just need to register an account and do 12 easy installments of 420.69 yearly
