  • The right to solidarity, i.e. all should be allowed to partake in solidary action during a strike.
  • The right of initiative and right to recall.
  • The right to free software, or freedom from proprietary software.
  • The right to a third place, i.e. ready access to physical spaces that allow for socializing with strangers.
  • Freedom from eviction (mainly wrt rent strikes and squatting.)
  • The right to democratic education.
  • The right to cross borders.
  • The right to be forgotten.
  • The right to purpose, or freedom from meaningless labor. This includes the right to an employee fund.

And there are of course other things. I just think that under the world's current paradigm, these, at least individually, seem relatively attainable without a literal revolution.

What Erik Moeller is trying to say is that posting to a Twitter alternative owned by rich people is doing free work for said rich people.

Or a V-line, or iliac furrows, or Adonis belt, or Apollo's belt.

♫ Which side are you on, which side are you on? ♫

This is maybe a bit of an obscure reference, but it's based on the "DO NOT FORGET TO TURN OFF YOUR TELEVISION" message that Soviet Central Television used in the Perestroika days.

This is also the first post I'm making to a community not based in the same instance as my account. Hope it works!

To be frank, I still don't get it, but I also hardly qualify as a human to begin with.

If by "strongest soldier" you mean "wannabe anarchist insurrectionary with twig arms and a repainted NERF gun from 2008", then yeah, that's me. Is the Star-'n'-Bull really that iconic? :P

The abolition of the state and the abolition of capital

I get the others, but why that last one?

Curiously, I've seen a survey in Canada reporting the exact opposite.

Wow, I didn't know Google was planning to start a war (start a nuclear war)

I have a question:

Well, on Reddit, with subreddits, you can go inside with your shoes on, right? Then, what if you stepped on dog poop out on the street, and you went to a subreddit without realizing it... If the Redditor father and mother and eldest son and eldest daughter all stepped on poop and went to a subreddit without realizing it...

A shame you seemed an honest man (because you now seem like an honest woman)

Reubens also definitely did not possess dozens of photos of child sexual abuse, for which he was arrested in 2002

Edit: The photos were classified by authorities as 「child pornography」, 「obscene material improperly depicting a child under the age of 18 in sexual conduct」, and most specifically as 「people underage engaged in masturbation or oral copulation」. Reubens denied all of these classifications of the photos, saying that the photos were just art and 100% not sexual. I wrote this comment under the assumption that Reubens was BS'ing, because I feel like the justice system would have no reason nor ability to arrest him and intentionally or accidentally describe his photo collection as worse than it actually was, and would on the contrary have every reason to let him off easy by accepting his plea bargain.

But I guess from the response to this comment that he was actually being truthful and I misunderstood/misrepresented the situation. As tends to happen when your only knowledge of a situation comes from Wikipedia. Sorry!

Forgive me for boosting my own thread; I just want to make sure this tutorial is visible on "hot", since this is a potential fix to a problem a lot of people are having.

It's just a reference to some weeb shit from 2002

I tried to report this magazine using the "contact" page a while back as it violates the kbin.social terms of service, but I guess as long as it's only one nutjob posting and all the posts are getting disliked, it isn't really a priority to remove.

For every Daryl Davis who can successfully talk down 100 Klansmen, you'll find 100 Black people begging for their lives trying to reason with the Klan in their last moments. For every thought of "I can fix them!" that you may have, you have to weigh that against how many more people you'll need to fix if you platform their ideas and treat them as something worth "respectfully debating".

Convincing people to leave hate groups is a great thing to do, but if respectful debate were effective on the large scale, and we have no shortage of people respectfully arguing that hate is a bad thing, why is the far right a bigger threat now than it was ten years ago? Do not tolerate the intolerant, do not debate the undebatable, do not respect the unrespectable.

There are not a lot of Kbin instances yet, so it's hard to say at a glance whether an instance has actually good moderation or if it just doesn't have enough users to cause trouble to begin with.

Edit: I found a more expansive list of instances and fedi196.gay seems like a good one

I've heard that in Sweden there's a group supporting free public transport called Planka.nu, which encourages fare dodging and operates an insurance fund for paying penalty fares.

I think I first heard of the fediverse from the Shonalika video on Mastodon, which I would've seen in 2020. I think I would've had some experience browsing Peertube without an account prior to signing up to Kbin, too. But Kbin is my first time having an actual fediverse account. It's pretty cool!

Indeed. It's easy enough to back up your posts/threads/comments with "save page as" on each page of your profile, but you can't automatically transfer your followers, following, subscriptions, or moderated in a migration. You'd have to ask to be re-added as a moderator, have to contact your followers individually, have to add your subscriptions and following one by one to your new account... Has anybody made any sort of third-party tool to make migration easier?
