I've read this garbage already. I'm not as obsessed with glazing Al Jazeera, MEE, Haaretz, and 972mag as most "communists" online

I'll get you a book or video next IOU but here's a CPI(M) outlet I neglect to check due to its lack of RSS feed https://peoplesdemocracy.in/

Look, you can dress this up however you want, but the fact is that I am laughing at your oomph for visibly being a screenshotting Telegram doomer over Iran, and you are writing fanfiction about me doing what I'm calling out. Should we call it a day, or is there anything else you'd like to vent about?

It seems nobody on Lemmy actually reads articles but me

Interesting, I haven't seen the "pure AP" thing, will check it out. Yeah I'm not attached to any particular model of it, since there are pros and cons of each, and they have the same basic structure (communities on lemmy appear as users reposting whatever mentions them, you could represent imageboard communities the same way, etc etc). Hopefully people evolve beyond just imitating popular social media products.

90% of piracy is technically savvy workers taking back something they produced for a tiny fraction of what it was worth, often something which was abandoned, or people stealing movies. Yes, there are teenagers who will pirate indie games. Most of them didn't have the money for them anyways.

If piracy wasn't possible I would probably be against computers entirely

Dawg, I am at my wit's end with online communism posting. Why are we taking Qatari news media at face value in the year of our lord 2025

Use one of the crazier ActivityPub platforms if you want funny reacts. A lot of them are like an unholy mix of Twitter and Discord

Those guys always show up when they're needed, don't they?

I have heard the reasons why, but I still can't wrap my head around Mastodon's decisions regarding the ability of reactions to carry between instances & profile search. The solution to a problem should never be "scroll for 7 minutes". All of the instances still doing that should move on, because the whole "dopamine loop" neuroscience meme is nothing confirmed or worth breaking core site features over.

Oh, you'll just have forgive me for not diving into the high-level discussion of whether Signal is better for furries because of the UI needs of differently-abled individuals. It's just too complicated for me. 😖
