sounds like it’s time to allow third-party clients distribute the server software, shut down free “servers” and offer paid hosting and support. that would cut costs a great deal.
you should know i am earnest. i’m learning how to snark. i try to say what i mean and mean what i say.
sometimes i do try to make jokes, but I am not sarcastic.

>But with others already able to exploit that, why would Proton want to do that?
to comply with a warrant
use the service, and tell them to use it. just like how they made you use discord. and you can whine every time they refuse.
they could ship malicious js to their frontend that would give them access to the unencrypted session. you are going on faith every time you load the interface.
I don’t trust them because they don’t use established security practices and their interfaces abstract away the internals and they have complied with law enforcement and admitted they could compromise contents(not just metadata) and they don’t accept anonymous payment.
they didn’t say threads is transphobic. tehy said threads allows transphobic content
I don’t trust proton and I don’t know why anyone would
if you think I violated a rule you should report it.
>If you call liberals fascists, you are alienating a potential ally
leftists have a saying:
scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds.
if liberals want to be my ally, they will abandon liberalism.
>Democrats aren’t generally fascists.
i’d disagree, but, again, i’m consulting mussolini for my definition, not 21st century vibes.
>, it doesn’t include contemporary American fascism, which openly derides the state as an institution.
i would say that’s not true. i’d say the democrats are fantastic fascists who laud the state as the panacea for all of society’s ills. but even the republicans would never try to degrade the military and policing power of the state.
it has to do with the primacy of the state. if the society is built around the supremacy of the state and all of the institutions serve the interest of the state… that’s exactly what mussolini was trying to build.
>They actively ban people who aren’t tankies.
this seems unlikely.
i didn’t make any personal attacks, and i’m on kolektiva
what’s the point of making things up like this, then?
do you have any proof of this?
the dbzer0 piracy community has been around much longer than most of the users here. they spun up when they saw the writing on the wall, and they permit things that would not be permitted on reddit. and, it seems, they permit things that are not permitted on .world.
but the instance is still there. the community is still there.
and you can leave .world, join an instance that hasn’t banned !piracy, and keep right on going.
>Fascism is a political strategy that seeks to preserve, create, and entrench structures and relationships of power imbalance by means of promoting and facilitating mass, broad-spectrum chauvinism in ways that are likely to encourage widespread individual and systemic violence.
fascism is a social theory that elevates the interests of the state above all else, bringing all other institutions into line with the goals of the state.
sometimes, this will require strict stratification. people will not support the state while thy don’t believe in the fairness of the stratification.
chauvinism may be a useful tool to some regimes, but it’s not necessary or sufficient to identify a society as fascist.
imho.
