- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 1 week ago:
I do think the hierarchy is the problem, not only who is in charge or how they transfer power. There is always tension between “give the people in charge enough power to get things done” versus “now they have too much power and are corrupt”, but by that point you cannot do anything about it. Democracy allows dictatorships to form in the name of government efficiency or the democratic will of the in-group majority.
Ruling over others should be unacceptable across the board. This is what anarchists fight for. You can fight for that even if the system you’re living in is predominantly hierarchical. You don’t need to dream about a revolution that never comes, it’s all about changing people’s mindset over time.
- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 1 week ago:
The point of anarchism is the rejection of hierarchy. If enough people reject hierarchy, they would all be on board with not filling the power vacuum. That’s why establishing anarchism is much more than getting rid of the current despot. It has to be get rid of all those with power over others, get rid of the concept of hierarchy, get rid of wealth accumulation as power concentration, get rid of anyone even trying to rule over others. They would have no support with anyone, because everyone knows power corrupts and we’re not taking any chances. Nobody should desire to rule over others, if (1) nobody listens to you, (2) people will fight you, and (3) you, like everybody else, knows it’s morally wrong
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 3 weeks ago:
Nowhere near. I use it at work, but Brave still outshines it. Most people haven’t tried Brave because of the icky factor of the CEO, fair enough, but then they don’t know it just works without fuss and that’s why people use it.

Why don’t other browsers have ad blocking as good as Brave’s and also work on Android

They’re just employees of the shareholders, same as all the other employees. They don’t have that kind of power.

I remember loving GTA2 but wanting a 3D GTA, then when they came out I never played GTA ever again

Capsule offers no benefit over regular bunk beds. I’ve been in both but I try to avoid capsule now. You don’t even save that much space, people still need to get in and out of their space anyways. But getting to your bed from the short end is just a damn hassle

Hostels are the best. Just give me a bed to crash and tomorrow morning I’ll be off again.

Why do Reddit and Twitter users not have a similar problem with all the fascist shit going on over there? If extremism would be the problem on Lemmy, why isn’t it a problem on Reddit or Twitter?
- Comment on Why isint lemmy more popular? 4 months ago:
Network effect. Reddit has more users and more discussion, drawing in more people and discussion. I’m not worried because enshittification and bots will run it into the ground

- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 4 months ago:
That explains. You said Steam port but I own this game on Steam using an XBox controller, and I never thought the controls were poor. But you’re specifically talking about Steam Deck. I cannot comment on that
