I think the ideal way to interface with open registration communities would be to have a registration process where they can access beehaw from that server after they've filled out an application just as we did to be able to join here. I'm not a coder, but I think that wouldn't be too challenging a feature.
I'm not excited about losing access to a bunch of communities on the fediverse. I'm not excited about needing a 2nd account if I want to avoid this. I hope a resolution can be found to roll this back without causing the admins too much pain.
Most of them are fine. I'm just particular about Tu Quoque. I bring that one out alot since arguing with climate deniers is a bobby of mine. They love to appeal to hypocrisy.
Exactly. Non profit. I don't recall seeing that in this article. I don't think it matters what the business model is. If your social media is a for profit company their interests aren't the same interests as the user.
We need non profits who will monetize ethically just enough to sustain the operations. Particularly cooperatives. Social media doesn't need to be profitable. It just needs to exist and serve it's users.
I don't really like the explanation for Tu Quoque. Tu Quoque is an appeal to hypocrisy. For instance you want me to believe in climate change, but you drive a car or Al Gore flies private jets.
Whether or not something is true doesn't require the person telling you about it to have a lifestyle that's perfectly aligned with that information. You can be a hypocrite and correct. I would prefer to be a correct hypocrite than an incorrect non-hypocrite. At least the hypocrite knows there's something that needs to be done.
I also prefer false choice or false dichotomy over black and white for that one, but that's just me being picky. Black and white is just as good a descriptor for it. I do really like the infographic. It's nice to have them all in one place.
What specifically about being a Marxist Leninist is so bad that it warrants lumping them in with racists? I'm not an ML and I disagree with them on a number of things, but they're no Nazis. I looked around I didn't see anything particularly repugnant.
I'd agree, but I think the international publicity will balance out the corruption. They're going to lose a lot of face if the corruption is so bad they can't even deliver justice when the whole world is watching.
Only if you drop all nuanced analysis of what fascism is and just define it as authoritarianism. I don't like authoritarian communism, but I don't think it makes sense to describe it as fascism.
All fascists are authoritarians, but not all authoritarians are fascists. It's possible, albeit not very self aware, to be a left wing authoritarian antifascist.
The current pace for proposal, design, and construction means it's got little chance of scaling up fast enough to make a big difference. Maybe SMR can break nuclear out of that paradigm, but currently my money is on increasingly dirt cheap renewables being complimented with storage following a similar but late to the game price/performance curve.
