    It always surprises me that Lemmy MLs are so incredibly tribal. There’s no interest in evangelism or outreach, which baffles me because political change require consent (or lethal violence). Why the hell did they adopt an ActivityPub app if they’re so intensely insular?

      they talk about controlled opposition and fbi sabotage a lot

      but i am convinced that the various flavors of idiot have one thing in common, which is wanting to put lots of effort into not accomplishing goals, wanting to put effort into stopping others from accomplishing goals, and wanting to guilt others into transfering their effort from goals to anti-goals

      tankies are a subtype of the this which is why they overlap so much with genocide joe catchphrase people. who gives a shit if they are useful idiots or just the regular kind

      Because they didn’t have the level of control they wanted, or the mechanisms to prevent being censored they wanted, on other social networks.

      Federation allows anyone who finds their ideas censored on one community to make their own. If they get censored from an entire instance they can hypothetically spin up their own instance relatively cheaply. As long as a few instances federate with yours, your content can spread pretty damn far.

      All the while, within the bounds of your own instance you control it all.

      So it’s a combination of reach and control.

      Once we start the revolution and take over the government buildings, we will have full consent of the people, and well if they don’t support it then y’know…
