    Nothing about DNS and/or IP blocking it? What’s the point of quitting using the website/app if you’re still letting it stalk you across the web via third-party scripts and hidden pixels?

    Can’t quit if you never started.

    It’s trash though. Everybody should leave.

    Great article, but isn’t Substack also a Nazi platform or am I confusing it with another?

      It appears to be a platform that does not moderate much nazi content

      I never heard that about Substack. The only thing kind of in the same vein was the blog site Pathos started filtering negative posts about religion and a bunch of atheists left.

    Remember, Elon has access to your private messages, I have a feeling he uses it for extortion, and might even fabricate some by himself…

    If you don’t like X then don’t use it but to pretend twitter is dangerous is absurd.

      It’s not like the concept of using media as a source of misinformation and a tool for fascism has no historical precedent. What’s absurd, is for it to be so black and white, and a bunch of finger clogged people going “nu-uh, dis different”

Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it’s leftist, it’s welcome here!

Rules:

  • Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
  • Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
  • Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
  • No brocialism/sexism
  • No ableism
  • No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
  • No racism
  • No trolling
  • No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
  • No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
  • Mods have final say

Posting Expectations:

  • Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
  • Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
  • Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
  • Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
  • Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
  • Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
  • Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends
