But if neoliberalism is the deregulation of the market, why being skeptical of it would be “anti intervention” when it is what neoliberalism is about (the government not intervening in the economical apects)
I ment in the sense of this platform existing to avoid outside intervention. Or am I mistaken in thinking the whole point of a federated system is to avoid corporate and political intervention allowing a “truly” flee platform?
Federated social medias were made in order to regive the power to the user away from the corporations more interested in making profit than keeping their userbase happy. This is quite leftist if you ask me. Indeed it also reduces the power that a government has on a platform, as centralization makes it easier to control, but this wasn’t the main goal. Just like linux, or FOSS in general
Could you please explain further what does it mean to be an “anti-intervention platform” and why lemmy is one?
I think what they meant is that Lemmy doesn’t have that kind of pull where the users can bring about a change/reversal of political movements.
Also, the anti-intervention platform probably is about the increased skepticism about neo-liberalism policies here (at least since I’ve joined).
