You sound (mostly) libertarian.

Thanks for the explanation though.

I agree with you. There is legitimate criticism of UBI especially of the Yang flavor.

I’ve just always seen it as increased unemployment payments with fewer conditions rather than a replacement of the welfare state.

The UBI I support is only a replacement for unemployment benefits and all the welfare state social safety nets would still be provided for I.e. single payer healthcare, social housing

Is that still a capitalist nightmare?

Not sure I agree as it seems like black and white thinking.

I.e. I could imagine a scenario where someone is very obviously/admits to using neopronouns disingenuously and that would break my social contract with them to honour it.

If I make an assessment of neopronoun usage on a case by case basis I can still avoid witch hunts. It’s similar to how I determine in real life if someone is an asshole or not.

Another way; I can support a person who I genuinely believe uses neopronouns while denouncing and excluding someone who doesn’t.

My preference is for completely community moderated platform.

People essentially vote for content moderation. Likely susceptible to gamification but I’m still interested in seeing it in practice.

Is it still invalidating when someone using neopronouns is doing so disingenuously?

Mods will always be a problem.

I’ve yet to encounter a well adjusted human who voluntarily mods.

This sounds like some kind of an enlightened centrist take.

Educate me though, can you briefly describe your political philosophy?

Conservatives can quite frankly go somewhere else.

Their policies are terrible and the only redeeming qualities of most countries we live in are socialist.

Lemmy should reflect the actual political spectrum which is (IMO) Social Democrats on the far right and Tankies on the far left.

Yeah I don’t think that’s what happened.

Well there yah go, we didn’t even need to introduce it and it’s already not left enough.

This was pretty much what set me on the path to radicalisation.

The system felt so unfair and then to learn that there were people who could do exactly this just because they were born into a family with large capital it was infuriating.
