Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

I'd argue that they aren't entirely wrong, just coming to the entirely wrong conclusion.
It absolutely benefits the 1% to have people fighting about stuff that keeps them out if the crosshairs, but the solution isn't to be an asshole and stamp out any attempts at progress in culture and acceptance. The solution is to accept people and progress cultural stuff faster to unite people better.
If you're going to be militant about the class war, don't you want as many allies as possible? Within reason of course, don't want bigoted assholes.
That's the thing. Dessalines and Nutomic are the bigoted assholes the rest of us should be telling to fuck right off because they're getting in the way of our class awakening. They think they're adovocating for true liberation when their way of going about it slows things down. They are tools of capital holders when they pull shit like this
@wizardbeard Oh yeah, totally - it's not like the 1% doesn't use these things to its advantage. Don't take my comment as making the mistake of ignoring that. It's just myopic at best to act like other forms of oppression can be ignored as long as we ensure economic liberation. And a lot of the people spouting that opinion... well, there's a reason they think bigotry isn't a problem - they suck.
