My explanation is in line with the community maintained Wikipedia articles and their sources based on a long history of anarchist history and writings, and none of it seems to be under any significant dispute. One does not need to be in a position of authority above others to help ensure discussions are grounded in common definitions of what words mean.

In Orwell's 1984, control of the language was central to control of society. Newspeak and such. Consider recent quibbles over pronouns.

You mean quibbles over how my loved-ones live life? It's not difficult. Just be respectful to someone and that's the end of it affecting you.

libertarian socialism is an oxymoron

Not necessarily I think, because socialism need not be authoritarian, I don't know how, maybe in a thousand years when the society collectively reached higher levels of moral development. But my intuition is that for libertarian socialism to exist, people need to agree and desire to converge to a golden mean ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_mean_(philosophy) ) instead of being incentivised to accumulate as much…

> socialism need not be authoritarian

True socialism is the opposite of authoritarianism. Simply put, it's taking care of everyone. Just because the label has been misused doesn't change the goal of those of us who identify as socialists. USA propaganda made it a bad word.

I remember the days that Bibliogram worked for Instagram. They've given up. A decade ago I could have an RSS feed for what my friends posted, besides the toxic short-form content of IG reels that everyone is now obsessed with post Meta acquisition and their battle to compete with Tiktok.

Instagram is actively hostile to good ui. They constantly go out of their way to break extensions that add a video scrubber.

And that idiot, Zuck, thought he was getting a good deal when he poached former head of design, Alan Dye, from Apple. We were relieved to see him go. Our desktop OS is already making small improvements now that he's gone.

Context: the guy doesn't understand fundamentals of UX and has made MacOS worse for years.

True! But at some point the rubber needs to meet the road and we haven't seen this materialize in practice, so for all intents and purposes, when we talk about realist socialism we need to account for the various forms of authoritarianism that comes in the package, I think

Yeah, but most of these will fall. I used to use one or two of these to scrape my friends' posts because I stopped using Twitter and they'd inevitably all disappear in time. It's like chasing the latest TPB. In the end, I just logged in a headless browser and told an agent to fetch daily.

A non -technological way to give negative feedback to Twitter/X is to stop using it, even "just reading an occasional post". Continuing to read things on it, even through Nitter, is in the interests of Twitter/X and of the people who continue to support Twitter/X by posting there. Tell the people who use it no. The decent people won't hear them on Twitter/X, and the decent people will wonder what's wrong with them if…

I feel like I'm living under a rock reading this post. What are the problems with Twitter, why does it need boycotting?

I wish i could forget the last 6 years as well (to be clear, post COVID nonsense).

Thank you for saying this. I totally agree with the OPs comment, but the use of anarchism is off. In fact collectivist anarchism is likely to improve the situation and at least, in theory, produce less predatory entities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collectivist_anarchism

I'm fond of the communalism of Murray Bookchin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communalism_(Bookchin) their ideas of liberatory technology and post-scarcity anarchism are refreshing https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/lewis-herber-murray-... https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-post... plus the Kurds & co evolved their own system from the "libertarian municipalism" Bookchin described https://en.w…

Thank you for the pointers! These look very interesting.

And the reason that piracy doesn't exist in that case is because the creators have all had to go out of business. ;-)

Yeah but I don't care about that. I'm not here to make the system work. It's skewed against us consumers anyway.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Consumers are worth less than creators in the cosmic scheme of things. I believe we should be much friendlier to consumers than our laws currently allow, but there should be a balance, and that balance should not privilege consumers above all.
