You recognize patterns by observing long-term trends, not by overreacting to whatever most outrageous news headline you see right now

Lol

Who are you referring to as “the whole world”, specifically? People on Lemmy? Leftists? Your friends IRL?

His salute does not affect your life in any meaningful way unless you let it do so.

How tf do you think those leaflets are delivered?

I hope Ukrainians do consult with North Korean POW’s on whether such leaflets would work on their comrades. Would be a waste of resources to deliver leaflets that just do not work

If we ban centralization then IRC, Signal, Xenforo, vBulletin

Signal is not social media, IRC is an open protocol, isn’t it? I do not know about the rest.

Even when you have federation, each unit in that “web” will usually have a centralized moderation team and administration.

I do not have a problem with that. The problem with centralized social media is that users are locked in to using some specific app because all their friends are there, which makes it harder to switch. This gives monopolies like Facebook an unfair advantage.

Can you suggest a comparable alternative?

I dunno, how Lemmy does this?

Do you mean that they at most should be non-profit? And if so, why?

Yes I mean that. For-profit social media profits from increasing user engagement, even if that means through getting people addicted, intentionally not dealing with misinformation (because misinformation is usually more outrageous and gets people more engaged), data collection and other unethical practices, all because shareholders need the line to go up.

I support blocking commercial, proprietary and centralized social media everywhere.

which one?

Graphene OS - best privacy and security, only for Google Pixel phones

Calyx OS - less secure but supports cheaper phones (Motorola) and eco-friendly phones (Fairphone)

Honorable mentions are LineageOS, /e/ OS, Replicant and iode OS, however their security is much worse than of Calyx/Graphene (no verified boot), so use at your own risk

Yes, they exist, but there is no reason to use them other than tinkering around. Also they have much worse security than Android or iOS. So if you need something private and open source there are a plenty of degoogled Android ROMs.

They are not called tankies because of rolling tanks though

The term “tankie” was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defence of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.[6][7]
