I’m here to be cute and be inflammatory. Lemmy is a dumpsterfire and I am a pyromancer raccoon.

  • Yeah trolling is a whatever issue for me, I’m not bothered by it. I haven’t seen any right wing extremism stuff. I am blatantly leftist and haven’t been kicked out of hc. I think tolerance of leftism sorta disqualifies it from being extremist lmao. I didn’t realise so many instances de-federated from hc. When I had my account deleted from lemm.ee with no warning for expressing my disapproval of moderators I joined hc. I’d had fun interactions with Alice before and the instance description stated they had a free speech policy (paraphrasing) so I joined up. There’s a few things I dislike such as downvotes not being visible but when I brought that up the whole community actually had a discussion about it which I’d never experienced before and made me feel like I was actually part of a community. I’ll think about trying out another instance to see if being de-federated from really bothers me. Ideally I want to be able to talk with as many people as possible.







  • No IP laws encourage people to keep new inventions/technologies/creative works secret so that they can solely profit off of it. By ensuring a period where people are guaranteed the benefits of their creations society can coerce them into contributing to the collective knowledge base.

    I think 5yrs is a suitable timeframe for copyright. Incentives sharing while also ensuring ideas can be promptly built off of and discorouging companies to hoard intellectual property for as long as possible while they drain every last dollar out.




  • I’m convinced there is no master plan. The administration isn’t perfectly calculating the optimal path to fascism, it’s just the natural consequence of idiots running rampant until someone stops them and the American people and institutions being either not caring enough or being too incompetent to stop it.

    Same story as with Putin and the war in Ukraine. There was no logical reason nor a strategic benefit to a war in Ukraine. They had already humiliated Ukraine nationalists and ensured Ukraine could never join NATO by annexing Crimea. Ukraine would’ve been drifted into being a Russian client state like Belarus but the idiots in Moscow declared war anyway. No master plan, just gross incompetence and an impotent opposition.

    Can’t wait to get sphered by china here in Oz. Who knew that the only thing you needed to do to become the new world hegemon was run a competent government for a couple decades.
