Ziyal, when the walls fell!

His followers believe in inequality so they actually love when he does outrageous, stupid or illegal things.

Yeah the biggest communities seem to be movies and television, and my guess is that they'll be gobbled up by lemmy.world. But every community migration like currently looses subscriber members, and split communities mean a lack of interaction. Social network require a critical mass, and also benefit from centralization. While federation works great for users there isn't a real solution for communities yet. There is a lot of randomness involved, like who gets to be the first to make a community might be a bad mod in the long term. For example the reddit r/climate mod is a climate skeptic. Not sure if there is any better solution.

I'm just wondering how the best design for this problem would look like. Maybe the mod of a community could have some kind of key that he can transfer to another instance and automatically transfer all the user subscriptions and link the post history with them.

Not sure which is which though. There are some suggestions that the Plutocrats like Musk, Thiel and others basically want feudal thiefdoms where they can use workers and people and do whatever they please. Bannon afaik is a statist. Trump doesn't really believe in anything, and wouldn't care if he's President, Chairman or Emperor.

I interact regularly with "those ml" instances and don't meet any (or not many) of people like you describe. I do believe it's mostly rumors, propaganda, cherry picking and liberal prejudice against socialists.

Do you still know what is real? The principle behind freedom of speech is about hearing dissenting voices that might tell you a truth that the mainstream won't.

In case you're curious, I also believe "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" so I often support or at least not condemn countries like Russia or China or Iran in their fight against the authoritarian US Empire. I'm a realist, pacifist and materialist, we already know what the regime change sought by the US will do to the people in "shithole" countries.

I mean he doesn't really any roots or supporters among MAGA like e.g. Steve Bannon. Musk "joined" MAGA shortly before the elections, but MAGA is already... over 10 years old? Musk wasn't part of that and doesn't really "speak to" MAGA either. The people he appealed to didn't come from MAGA. It was clear to MAGAts as well that he's just an opportunist and a useful tool. They liked him because he's an absurd clown that makes liberals cry. @pyre@lemmy.world

Well chewed up - besides the financial losses - the lack of people who "like" Elon Musk. Musk is as much as an narcissist as Trump, so those irrational motivations might have pushed him to support Trump in the first place after he lost his prestige with the liberals as a "captain of industry". But now both sides hate him, he's disgraced. Now he's the one who raided the citizens data and smashed up everything with his "crazy" doge (Trump's words in the future).

I really liked lemm.ee because it didn't defederate from the radical socialist and communist spectrum of political speech.

But the other issue with a bigger instance like lemm.ee going down is that as long as communities can't be moved (including users and content) to other instances, the lemmy project will fail. Because then only centralization in a few big instances is viable, and those big instances are going to become valuable and sold to plutocrats.

I think so but https://lemmy.today/instances doesn't have any blocked instances at all, which can't be good lol
