  • Love this quote and the photo, but the quote is from like 2012 and the photo is from like the 60s. I'd prefer if the photo was more recent (or at least not black and white) so we don't perpetuate the myth that all of the great socialist thinkers are from long ago in our past. Le Guin said this in front of Amazon executives and I think it minimizes the impact to pair it with such an old photo.

  • Well you asked a question with a complicated answer. Dean Spade is a prolific and respected writer and organizer, and his thoughts on the matter are relatively concise compared to the volumes upon volumes written by his predecessors in anarchist thought.

  • Many small creators also sell directly on social media. Unfortunately that's mostly corporate owned social media, but at least they dont typically get a cut of the sale.

    Even still, local creators will often pop up at events and conventions and stuff. They may not have a permanent presence, but you can still often buy stuff from them in person if you keep up with where they'll be.

  • "Guess that minority shouldn't work there then. It's a good thing we have fair, gainful, and plentiful employment where every company with a hiring bias is perfectly balanced out by another company with the opposite bias. I sure am glad our perfect egalitarian society ensures that the minority's kids are fed clothed and housed until they find work at an exactly comparable company - with the same exact pay - that hires minorities."

  • If he's literally harassing people you should take action. It sounds like that might not be the case though, since neither LBZ nor .world have recent record of mod actions against Blaze other than you guys power tripping and removing a post critical of you - only to then restore it after it gained traction on c/PowerTrippingBastards.

    I've only seen Blaze be critical of you and the other mods here. If that's what you're referring to, then it isnt harrasment but dissent against you and the other mods' abuse of power. If you're referring to some other instances of Blaze harassing community members, then take impartial action to protect the community and dont complain about it here.

  • I dont have to prove shit to you and you aren't trying to understand. If you wanted to understand that trump is a fascist or Kamala isn't any any way a communist, you can find PILES of jourlism and academic works discussing those topics - you just have to leave the right-wing news media bubble.

    Your entitlement to my time and this space as a place where you can demand proof for basic political concepts is the absolute definition of sealioning.

  • Weirdly defensive.

    I dont remember that decision on y'alls part as particularly controversial, rather the drama - from some non-blahaj members - surrounding Ada's announcement following it.

    We're talking about moderation policies here after all, not any one user.

    Also, it was in PugJesus's post about his departure that you first mentioned that the 196 mods had already been discussing moving to .world. A comment that you've subsequently deleted. Seems odd to bring it up at that time if it wasn't in some way related.

  • I dislike most big .world communities and the centralization of Lemmy, but I'm glad you guys feel confident in your ability to cultivate the same community in a larger and less curated space.
