On other social media it makes sense. But, here I just assume they are probably part of lemmygrad.ml. This place has had a way of warping communist into me perceiving it as fascist cause here.
Kind of like if this were instead a Nazi founded open source project that pushed themselves as vegan. Normally vegan wouldn’t really warrant another glance, but the history of place has kind of warped regular terms in some hilarious ways.
In general dealing with piracy or tech recommendations I found downvote very useful, since a comment could suggest something that was potentially malicious. And with only the ability to upvote it could have caused something to get boosted to get visibility.
It’s same with youtube. Some equated removal of dislike visibility an attempt to trying to stop brigading, but downvote visbility had lot of value when it came to looking for a youtube video I was intending to use for educational purposes and not wasting time. Especially tech related once that involved going to links or entering in commands into terminal.
Therefore, I’ve found there to be more value when it comes to potential safety than the emotional aspect.
Fry because I dream of being frozen and ending up in the future and getting to go to space like its just a drive around the corner.
Piracy subs have been the ones that have had back ups just in case even before the api issues. I wish other communities were open to having back ups. Especially ones set up by the mods of subreddits I liked.
In that case keep up the good fight. I wonder what would be the best approach to break this association of communism on lemmy that has become tied with the ideals of lemmygard.ml. It makes it extra challenging now with lemmy.ml having been and still continues to be the most recommended instance to join. Which will lead people who joined lemmy without fully understanding federations thinking all of lemmy shares the views of lemmygrad.ml and then leading to further spread of misinformation of this open source project.
