Comment on Anon interviews for a job
joe_cool@lemmy.ml 5 months agoI’m actually OK with it.
It’s their instance, you can check the wordlist in the config. It’s the slur_filter_regex. If it would bother me too much I’d change instance or spin up my own.
I’m more enraged by shadow banning like on “other platforms”.

Man, regex is really not the tool for the job here is it?
djsoren19@yiffit.net 5 months ago
What? it looks fine to me, outside of the general difficulty of reading regex. I mean, it’s not meant to be readable, it’s meant to catch all the different spellings if what they want to filter and do so.

That’s sorta my point, the complexity of regex isn’t really warranted where a simple blocklist would suffice

ml hands out bans people who slightly disagree with their Communist loving opinions, how is that not censorship like on “other” platforms?

Lol it’s too much credit to call them communist loving. Marx would be turning in his grave if he saw the regimes these tankies venerate
echodot@feddit.uk 5 months ago
Of course Marx isn’t really a good hold up either. Any actually communist society probably wouldn’t follow a lot of his doctrines. His beliefs, if actually implemented, would have all ended in civil unrest anyway. His views were inherently unfair and very much open to abuse and corruption. If you were unlucky enough to be on the bottom rung of society then that’s where you stayed.
A modern view of communism would be much closer to socialism than anything Marx advocated for. At least socialism allows for social advancement.
On a continuum where you’ve got tankies on one side and socialism on the other, Marx would be closer to the Tankies end of the spectrum than the socialist. He’s definitely not in the middle.

My guy you don’t know shit. Marx believed in a classless society. There would be no “rungs”. Also what he believed in is socialism, because communism is a form of socialism. This is what happens when you believe what the right wing tells you about Karl Marx without actually asking any leftists or reading it for yourself.
A lot of the things Tankies believe like the concept of a Vanguard party happened after Marx. Marx would have never approved of the USSR, or at least how it ended and all the things that happened under Stalin.

Fair enough. I know a lot of his views were rooted in traditions and biases he grew up around. My point was more just that tankies and places like modern Russia and China aren’t really communist.
My girlfriend is Chinese and she has shared so many examples of classism and wealth inequality there, many of which are enforced by the state and its laws. China is in many ways no more egalitarian than the US.
