  • @AgreeableLandscape@lemmy.ml My feed today has been 1:5 posts about antivax, and almost every thread has had some sort of election denialism.

    If we don’t take a stand now we’re going to be the next Voat/Gab/what have you. I came here because I was promised Leftists, not liberals. Take a stand and do something about this before it becomes a rapidly dying community.

    Also, in re: “We can’t disprove it”, yeah no shit: you can’t disprove anything. The burden is on the person making the claim, not the person refuting it. But keep shifting that burden to logical impossibility. If that’s the moderation view here, you just solidified lemmy’s future content.






  • Having a license that restricts usage for violence (the NVPL) or restricts profiteering (CC-NC) shouldn’t be considered non-free. The concept of free requiring the allowance of the organization taking your work to use commercially is just a shitty way for Capitalist organizations like the FSF and the GNU project to force you to provide your labor to megacorps for free.

    Free software should be free for the people: corporations and profiteers should start paying their fair fucking share.

    Edit because I got overzealous in saving my comment: A dual licensing set up would fix this: Businesses get to pay a monthly subscription of some inordinate amount, and individuals get it for free. Violating Freedom0 isn’t going to lead to some sort of technofascism like Stallman suggests: It’ll lead to the developers seizing the means of production and preventing profiteering off of it.





  • I know, about the leftist correction, I was making a commentary on how liberal it is to allow an Anti-vaxx mandate discussion as if it’s not a thinly cloaked excuse to legitimize sharing a substantial amount of vaccine misinformaiton.

    I think when we start allowing bad-faith efforts to hide worse things we open the door for all of the same sad excuses that lead to the failings of voat, mewe, gab, and literally everything else that started to get away from that shit, and it just fills on in anyway.
