20 million people die from starvation, lack of access to clean water or preventable disease under capitalism EVERY YEAR.

These are solvable problems but its not profitable. 1/3 of food produced globably is thrown away. We’ve plenty of solutions for access to water. Preventable disease, it’s in the name.

Fracturing the space is way more destructive than whatever you mean by destructive moderating, since the moderating will only affect some communities and even within that, some users while defederating will split the user base.

Should be called intensely_inhumane 🤣

School shouldn’t be like prison and neither should prison tbh.

Prison is designed as a punishment, its pretty problematic to want children to go through a similar system in their formative years, nevermimd that there is so much evidence that prison doesn’t even work and just causes worse outcomes.

Treat someone like a criminal they will act like a criminal.

There’s no two sides here, the aguments about distractions and agency fall apart when you compare countries like Sweden and Denmark where they don’t have uniforms and allow the students lot more agency, against countries like the US, UK and Ireland where they infantalise their students and in the UK’s and Ireland’s case uniforms are mandatory.

The Nordic countries have way better school performance scores.

I’ve got too many atm, fb messenger, insta, discord, signal, SMS.

Signal is what I’m trying to push, not sure if it counts as decentralised 🤷

Looking to consolidate rather than tack on another that I don’t think anyone I know uses.

Already using libre wolf with containers so not sure how much of a benefit I’d get from moving to an app.

Again back to minimalism I’d rather move away from it completely than have to have a another service to continue using discord. Could change if I start using matrix.

Instead of going fedi I’m going minimal.

Reddit -> Lemmy, with the caveat that time spent on here is minimal, to be reviewed at a later date.

xitter -> nothing, nitter.net if I want to read a xeet linked by another resource. Ultimately for me micro blogging social media is a time suck with little return.

discord -> still on it for a few different reasons, not sure if I’ll set up matrix just to do a bridge, privacy and minimalism are clashing here.

YouTube -> nothing, invidious if I want to watch yt content. Short or low quality video content is another time suck, try and keep video streaming to a minimum for environmental and mental health reasons.

Netflix and others -> the high seas (it is decentralised)

Gonna give you my honest two cents.

You come across as a cunt whenever you police who can use neo pronouns based on how they look or act.

Pronouns are something people should be free to explore.

Hopefully being able to look into the topic without prejudice will allow people to discover their own queerness and/or empathise with people that do use them.

Neverind that that is bad faith to argue that hexbear enforces neo pronouns, trad pronouns or anonymous can be used.

Do you mean the civilians at the festival that the IDF admitted to killing on the 6th?

What do you mean war, the west bank is not controlled by hamas.

This is brutalisation by an occupying force on a population living in an Israeli controlled Bantustan.

That would be a ecumenical philosophical matter.

They also pledged or gave $2 mil to Israel recently

So an organisation the US is a member of, contributes to financially and has a large amount of influence in has blocked the democratic election of a Latin American leader. Allowed the installment of a temporary leader that they like. The current US president at the time vocally backing the organisation mentioned above and regurgitating the misinformation pushed by that organisation.

The only involvement you saw was a couple of congress members calling for the US to investigate and calling for the US to promise not do what they have always done, starting now.

Did you even read the article?

Also nice of you to ignore the first half of my original comment.

What did I get wrong exactly?

This comment is unproductive.

We do disagree on a fundamental fact, that America is a police state.

bobs_monkey hypocritically excuses american actions when they would use the same actions committed by non aligned states as evidence that they are police states.

Countering this narrative is productive to my goal, even if I don’t convince bobs_monkey. It doesn’t let what is essentially american propaganda go unchallenged for future readers.

Iraq, Afghanistan, maiden coup, Palestine, Philippines, Syria, Libya and probably more that I don’t know off the top of my head.

Weird you had to specify Latin American democracies

Edit: saw someone linked about a US backed coup in Latin America in 2020 so the 40 years without meddling in Latin America isn’t even true 🤣 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/18/silence-us-backed-coup-evo-morales-bolivia-american-states

There is no such thing as passive surveillance if all surveillance data can be automatically flagged or you have an army of agents trawling through it all. Both things America is doing.

Saying fuck the US government online probably puts US citizens as well as global citizens on lists.

America is notorious for embedding into and destroying movements. This happens to this day.

Also hate to break it to you, if you’re in the US you’re physical movements are also most likely tracked.

It’s pure cope to say you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide as you just did.

Quite the opposite from what I’ve seen

Have seen plenty of people counter the “evidence” and also the sound of the strike is identical to a strike on a residential building hit yesterday.

Never mind all the lead up by israel, telling people to leave hospitals, hitting other hospitals before this and then claiming responsibility before backtracking.
