What is your claim to Lemmy fame.

      To me, @PugJesus stands out most as the history memes guy (and a fan of Rome “but not, like, weird about it”).

      Watchdog aside, I appreciate @cm0002@piefed.social or .zip or whatever posting on my small emulation community _

          Cookie from Cookie’s Bustle? Haha, it’s a deranged Japanese game with a cute Mascot. Infamous for one Japanese persons obsession with removing all trace of the files or any video/media of the game from the internet.

        it’s funny because I know them because for a while they were systematically reposting everything from lemmy.ml communities to drive traffic away from “the tankies”. the first impression was of a total asshole

          I don’t have no issues with that. Even ignoring that argument I prefer communities on smaller instances.

          Also remember you are the anarchist on .ml

          Damn my memory is good.

              for me the annoyance was that it was reposts from .ml to .world, not even uplifting smaller instances

              I actually did prioritize smaller instances first in most cases, but you’ll be happy to know thanks to their utter failure of dealing with JL I have entirely ceased posting to .world comms and recreating ones I run into that have no off-world off-ml alternative. @cm0002@lemmy.world is retired

                ‘defending’ 🙄

                it’s that I find there’s more common ground with them than with the centrist extremists who get so worked up about their existence.

                Just yesterday I had one such person who started off calling me a tankie immediately pivot to ‘yeah well anarchism is bullshit too’

                    Anarchism is anti-authoritarian, but that’s not really where it ends (to say it’s ‘all about that’ is a bit reductive). The point isn’t just to oppose authority, but to oppose hierarchy and domination. IE systems where authority becomes permanent, coercive, and self-justifying.

                    Anarchists aren’t going to oppose a doctor giving orders in the middle of surgery, or say that teachers have to get a vote from their class before being allowed to assign homework.

                    The problem is the structural authority where participation isn’t voluntary and the power can’t be revoked. This is why opposing the state, class society and capitalism is such a common refrain.

                    That’s why I said there’s common ground between marxists and anarchists. Both traditions start from the same diagnosis: the capitalist state is a machine of class domination. We both want to abolish exploitation and create a classless, stateless society. We can disagree about if some heirarchies can still be used temporarily for the purpose of liberation, however that’s a strategic debate with a shared revolutionary objective, not some huge moral divide.

                    At the end of the day, anarchists and marxists want the same thing: a society without without rulers, landlords, or bosses.

                    The disagreement is about how to get there, not about if people should be free at all.

        I switched from feddit.de to sh.itjust.works and finally to PieFed. However I only have about 100 posts and 1,000 comments on each of them…

        Maybe my opinion is just very relevant lol

        Just kidding, no idea tbh :)
