A Nazi in a bar makes it a Nazi bar. A Nazi bar in a town makes it a Nazi town. A Nazi town in a state makes it a Nazi state. A Nazi state in a country makes it a Nazi country. A Nazi country in the world makes it a Nazi world.
You can construct gradients of connection for anything, but that doesn't make them not insane. If .world is a Nazi website, then .ml federates with them, so they're also Nazis. And hexbear federates with .ml, so they're also Nazis. And this all stems not from .world actually tolerating Nazis, but just being kind of center-left normies. When you're eager to make everyone a Nazi, the accusation loses all meaning.
That's an absurd level of connection though. It's blown right past the mild hyperbole of calling Twitter a Nazi site because it doesn't ban Nazis, past calling your Fox News uncle a Nazi for voting to "stop the caravan", through labeling MSNBC a Nazi station because it buys into the "break the conservative fever" myth, and into the territory of "everyone who doesn't agree with me is an actively organizing Nazi".
Stormfront isn't a site for "well meaning patsies" and calling .world a Nazi site is just making up a heroic story for why the fascist at 7/11 kicked you out because he hates communism rather than because you were being an asshole to everyone else in the store.
Though right now we're probably inflating our own importance by thinking anyone at all will associate Lemmy with this guy in any meaningful way. The name was referenced by the reporter because they needed to say where the random posts came from, and talked about like it's just a general social network rather than an organizing place for a radical ideology.
Yeah. The "it was just because they hate communism" descriptions of hexbear defederation are just making up a story of oppression to explain why it wasn't actually their behavior that got them locked out. People don't hate communism, they hate trolling, tankies (in the literal sense with the Ukraine invasion), and brigading (referencing their fights with the libs and then a bunch of commenters swarming).
I could take or leave the lemmygrad defederation, but hexbear absolutely made its own bed.
The defining trait of Stormfront of course being its liberal apologia. These people are not grounded in reality and just need to keep finding more extreme labels for the people that did them wrong.
They're a huge instance most people joined by default. No one sane thinks a .world account means anything about the person posting under it, except maybe they just went along with the pseudo-default.
You guys think there's a big rivalry and anyone who hasn't rebelled against the unjust persecution of the tankiest instances must have cast their lot in with the enemy, but in reality no one really thinks about it at all.
You've got nothing to worry about. It's the largest instance. There's no particular stigma for users on it. Unlike there is for the more ideologically selected instances, like .ml.
There isn't a problem to address in the first place. Earned money is taxed income, as it should be. Making a category of earnings that isn't taxed just incentivizes more businesses to cut pay and have customers make up for it in tips.
The only one of those that both exists and competes with SWIFT as an international banking infrastructure is CIPS, and that already existed prior to the Russian sanctions. The entire world didn't do anything in response to Russian sanctions, China saw an opportunity and used it to promote the alternative it already had and already wanted to expand.
I think a lot of the non-reaction has to do with the lower court giving 15 "last" chances for the government to explain the order. She needed/needs to just call them in violation and start holding people in contempt. It probably won't work, but without the final declaration from the courts of "they are ignoring us" people just keep trusting the system.
The FDA doesn't inherently get to decide what medicines most people can get, your doctor does (and your insurance may determine whether it's financially realistic). The FDA may influence their decisions, but don't let them offload your health to a corrupted government organization if you have any choice in the matter.
Elon Musk saved them from having to confront that corporatism was the problem with Twitter. They don't realize the whole "decentralized" slogan is just a startup in the growth phase willing to promise anything and ask for nothing in order to lock people in and if they're lucky enough to not be bought by another billionaire fascist, they'll just go to shit like all the others.
A Nazi in a bar makes it a Nazi bar. A Nazi bar in a town makes it a Nazi town. A Nazi town in a state makes it a Nazi state. A Nazi state in a country makes it a Nazi country. A Nazi country in the world makes it a Nazi world.
