Hope and action go hand and hand, and it sounds like younger generations in those countries understand that well.

That’s a valid point; the literal definition of anarchy itself is the absence/abolition of hierarchies so that is pretty easily covered in identification. I’ll check it out, thank you! I’m a firm believer in leftist unity as we have the common overarching goal of equitable rights and QoL for all people.

I’ll have to do more reading then; thank you for sharing as well. It’s awesome to learn that Cuba’s gotten more progressive on LGBTQ issues. I wonder if the user I responded to is from the US since it’s been pretty bad here and we don’t have an established left party, so our “left” is a right wing donor class that pretends to maintain the status quo about 85% of the time.

I say to my knowledge since while I do identify as anarchist and believe healthcare, food, and shelter are bare minimum rights I understand as a human I always have more to learn and will never possess the breadth/depth of the entirety of anarchist/leftist ideology. I may currently hold blind spots and as such will need to learn and adjust in the future.

It may be due to the “conservative” comm on the instance. I’m still learning, of course.

Well wipe my ass backwards and call me biscuit; I have been informed today.

Apologies, I should have added the sarcasm tag. /gen

Case in point is that Amazon will try everything for profit except not be cunts

That’s completely valid. Thank you for sharing; like I said I’m still relatively new so hearing insight from more established users helps a lot. You’d think the natural association would be basic fucking human rights = common sense leftism but that is unfortunately not the case for established leftist governments at the minimum. (Spoken as someone who, to my knowledge, aligns leftist/anarchist)

We have to have each others’ backs because “allyship” is a finicky bitch.

This helps to know, thank you. Will probably migrate then as I’d like to not be associated with genocide.

As I said, I don’t personally agree with it. That’s why it’s in quotes.

So awesome to read a happy story!

The biggest thing about Linux, and the main hurdle for most users, is trial and error with different OSes.

It’s as personal as clothing taste; from size to material and color. What will fit on your body, what materials you can tolerate and what you like style wise are akin to what kernel you pick, your drivers and your desktop environment.

For some, a classic T-shirt and jeans work great out-of-box and some may need hypoallergenic materials and a different cut. And that’s all okay! It’s also the beauty of Unix/FOSS.

Preface to say I don’t necessarily hold these views, just my observation:

• .ml is considered “tankie”

• Blahaj.zone is shitposty and pretty solidly trans-friendly/oriented

• .world is “neutral,” and I think federated with most instances (I joined this one bc I was brand new here and it seemed beginner friendly, but I lean further left so ¯\(ツ)/¯ may instance hop in the future)

• Lemm.ee runs similar to .world but maybe slightly more right leaning

• Sh.it.justworks is predominantly techie

• Sopuli.xyz seems primarily meme-centric

• Feddit.org seems neutral-ish and more EU based, beyond that don’t know much

I’m sure there’s others I’m missing/stereotypes I’m wildly wrong about or not yet informed but that’s what I’ve gleaned so far.

Everything, including:

• giving a shit about the customer and having them permanently own their own games, even DRM-free like GOG?

• Not forcing online connectivity to access the library?

• Not shoving ads and spyware into the rest of the Amazon platform?

• Appealing ethically by paying all employees a living wage?

• Prioritizing innovation in expanding native Linux compatibility?

🤔

I regret having eyes today.
