  • Alright, I’m gonna be honest. That made me actually laugh out loud. I’d wear that shirt.

    I was harsh earlier. You’re right. I think I was projecting my anger and assholishness towards you. I really dislike gatekeeping. Especially during these times when we need to draw like-minded folks together. Not fracture further.

    And I ended up doing much of the fracturing.

    I apologize. I’ll leave all the messages up for accountability reasons. I’ll link to this post in my original reply to your OP.

    If you’d do me a favour and not lump all the .worlders together, or all members if any large instance. Technical ability and federation understanding isn’t uniform. Some are here just for the memes.

    I get that’s where the main pushback is coming from. But they are the largest instance.

    That’s my only point.

    Be well. See you on the front lines, twink.



  • And I would argue that at least *some* degree of contentiousness, i.e. “edgelord behavior”, *is* necessary (but insufficient on its own) to be an effective anarchist, for the simple reason that capitalism has made discussion about capitalism taboo.

    No, the image is related. I’ll leave it to you to figure out.

    I have no beef with you. Or OP. But gatekeeping is gatekeeping. I called out what I saw and stand by it. OP could have corrected themselves but decided to double down. I did as well.

    My username checks out as well, comrade.






  • So then instead of “seeing the .worlders respond”, would you take “seeing many of the .worlders respond”? Because that’s…kind of a small change, really the only sensible reading.

    That’s a massive change. “Many” and “All” aren’t interchangeable.

    “Many” Americans voted for Trump.

    “All” Americans voted for Trump.


    “Many” anarchists describe themselves as such because they are edgelords, not anarchists.

    “All” anarchists describe themselves as such because they are edgelords, not anarchists.

    Big difference.

    As for vitrol, read the tone of OPs post before you judge mine.

    Edit: OP, a few minutes ago.

    Edgelord.






  • Typing anything into these fucken forums with my instance name and seeing the .worlders respond.

    You see that as them saying .world users don’t like anarchists. I see it as them saying .world users are all anti-anarchy.

    Saying “.worlders” doesn’t imply “some”, “many” or “most”. It implies all.

    Lemmy.world is the largest instance. It’s often the default when you sign up. By saying it the way they did, OP is discouraging and limiting discourse regarding anarchy. By painting the entire instance with the same brush OP is effectively gate keeping anarchy.
