- Comment on I don't even have a PieFed account ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 6 days ago:
As much as I dislike the fact that the “flagship” instance for lemmy is an echo chamber that bans for political wrong think, I still think Lemmy on average is a positive and it isn’t funded by ads or vcs so it should be proof against the most common avenues for enshittification.
So I set up a recurring donation despite being someone that would 100% get banned by the people I’m donating to if I were to comment on their instance.
Same way I can’t stand people using one negative within a larger political platform as an excuse to parrot anti-electoralism I feel like I shouldn’t use one unfortunate facet of the fediverse as an excuse not to donate towards its continued development.
Support “better” rather than waiting for “perfect”
- Comment on Hamas files challenge to overturn UK terror designation 4 weeks ago:
Israel’s war crimes do not excuse Hamas’ terrorist attacks, nor do Hamas’ terror attacks excuse Israel’s war crimes.
Intentionally escalating the conflict and suppressing rival organisations then turning around and saying “we are the only counterbalance to Israel, you must deal with us” is also kinda gross.
That said, it’s weird that they want the UK involved given the history of the conflict and the relatively paltry (and apparently declining?) level of arms exports.
I think the EU also designated Hamas as a terrorist organisation and Germany is a big arms exporter so I would have expected them to focus on getting that designation repealed.
- Comment on How it feels wandering into different bubbles sometimes 1 month ago:
The interesting thing about reading from different bubbles to get the different perspectives on the same event is just how different the set of events covered is.
The right may be furious about something and the left barely cover it and vice versa, it needs to be a huge event to attract comment from both sides.
- Comment on Oops, something went wrong! 1 month ago:
Even if you don’t buy into this logic, you still have to do it in quite a few places because the security auditors have a line in their checklist about being able to extract any internal information from error pages
- Comment on LinkedIn job search sucks. Also, 30 minutes a MONTH?! 3 months ago:
Best of luck with the job search, linkedin is awful, but at-least the need for it passes.
