Could be, but given that Librewolf is FOSS and focused on Privacy, it makes sense and fits.

Lemmy.ml is the largest FOSS and Privacy instance, so it makes sense.

Pretty much all of the far-right instances are defederated from the major servers, except lemm.ee, which intentionally lets users block instances they don’t like.

It won’t. Some instances will get close, like Lemmy.world, but federation makes Lemmy fundamentally different.

Find a smaller instance with similar interests or views, and scroll by local!

MFs don’t appreciate proper wizardry anymore 😤

Enshittification comes from the profit motive, not from how popular something is.

Not a software engineer, but work closely with them in a different field. This is 100% common, especially for junior devs.

My honest advice is to push with it and truly spend some time in the field, and if you hate it, then leave without regrets. However, know that the initial bump is the hardest, over time it gets easier and you’ll even likely find yourself doing side projects on your own time!

Just my 2 cents.

You’re off.

In Capitalism, we refer to the managerial class as Labor Aristocrats, they often side with Capitalists to keep their lifestyle but are ultimately still laborers and not owners.

In Socialism, a democratically accountable manager or HR representative is just that, democratically accountable. Even though they are involved in managing, if they do a bad job, the Workers can oust them, or even do away with the position entirely.

Ownership entirely changes the power imbalance.

It doesn’t matter what it benefits, it’s still Socialism at work.

Secondly, you have no real concept of what constitutes a Worker vs an owner. Someone with power to give promotions is still a worker, the difference comes from unequal ownership. Even if they have more power as elected, the other workers can overturn them.

Markets aren’t Capitalism, Capitalism has only been around for a few hundred years.

Workers will act in their own self interests, only this time everyone is a Worker.

Direct ownership can look like a co-op, yes, that’s a Socialist entity. It can also look like state run industry, or a network of Mutual Aid, or a structure like FOSS.

Unions are inferior to direct ownership, and your only argument against direct ownership so far seems to be that you can’t count on people to vote on your interests, yet for some reason you ignore that Capitalists exclusively have their own interests at heart and don’t care about workers.

Yep, that’s the idea! Functionally, Capitalism is more revolutionary and progressive than Feudalism, which is why it’s a good thing that Feudalism is fading and Capitalism is the status quo, just like it will also be a good thing when Capitalism is fading and Socialism becomes the status quo.

People end up with nothing under Capitalism as well, and there is less disparity in some non-Capitalist systems.

Not a typo, but we are functionally talking about the same thing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petite_bourgeoisie

Sort of. Monarchism is more about respecting a family’s right to rule, than a claim on economics, though usually Feudalism goes hand in hand historically. The British parliamentary system with a vestigial Monarchy is an exception, not the rule.

Not really. Capitalism allows anyone to buy and sell Capital, whereas these more primitive exchanges aren’t the same. The Bourgeoisie are fundamentally different from the Aristocracy.

Certainly more hierarchical than Socialism, but also more than Capitalism. Fundamentally, the lack of a market for Capital separates Capitalism from Monarchism, the class dynamics of today are different from before. This is helpful to understand IMO when trying to see how to solve it.

Got it, you’re just trolling now.

The original point of this convo was that you thought that it’s okay to use incorrect terms as long as it gets people to move, and my point is that it’s better to educate people so they can come to the correct conclusions by themselves, and can better make decisions in the future without relying on a benevolent party of individuals to tell them exactly what to think.

You then proceed to squirrel away and dodge every single point I make.

I can’t give you a phone number or a link without knowing where you work and what your workplace and position is. If you want the next best thing, the Industrial Workers of the World has resources for you: https://www.iww.org/. You can also go to the Anarchist Library: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/special/index and the Marxist Internet Archive: https://www.marxists.org/ if you want theoretical texts.

What’s your new way to squirrel out? Either admit that using the correct terms and educating people to be able to come to correct conclusions themselves is better than using incorrect terms deliberately, or answer why you think it’s better to try to guide people at each and every step, even if it puts way more work on the activists and results in a population out of touch with what is going on around them.
