  • Fantastic idea! I miss Tumblr terribly ever since the Great Porn Ban of 2018, even though I never even reblogged or followed ‘adult’ blogs. I just wanted to reblog holsum and funny fanart, but fuck giving into puritan corpo censorship.

    What’s the moderation policy on genocide denial and the like? I hate having to ask this, but having heard too many people deny the Holodomor on here, I feel it necessary to make the inquiry.

    For that matter, more generally, are you prepared, in terms of moderation structure, for the massive amount of legitimately disturbing material that’s going to pass through the site and will need to be removed if the site grows beyond a few hundred users? I would hate to join and then see this crash because of (completely understandable) moderator/admin burnout at the depravity and speed of mankind’s worst elements.









  • Center-left, if we are using those definitions for far-left and left, would probably be social democracy - ie a genuine attempt to redistribute wealth within the framework of a capitalist system.

    Center would be Rhineland capitalism - attempts to make a capitalist system with basic controls and direction for the interests of the people or the state.

    Center-right would probably be whatever the fuck incoherent shite America has been doing the past 100 years or so, where there’s regulations and a welfare state but the government itself is constantly campaigning against them and shaming its users.

    Right would then be the Reaganite trickle-down fever-dream where laws are a suggestion and the accumulation of wealth to the elite is an end in and of itself.

    Thus putting far-right as outright fascism or ancapistan.




  • maybe let the people who actually vote for the party decide who they prefer as candidates

    Those people said “Clinton” and then “Biden”. Both over Bernie, who was far more charismatic than both and with a fucking spotless record, unlike both.

    Not sure that the primary voters’ll be delivering a progressive savior unless the demographics of who votes in Dem primaries changes radically.
