Is it a missing feature that can be contributed to or this way for a reason?
Are usernames changeable on lemmy?

Very educational.
You mentioned that the PRC under Deng learned after the failiures of the USSR when Khrushchevist opportunists took over. However, I don't see the correlation between that and a rushed transition into a planned economy.
Any decent person wouldn't use brave.

Do you think a communist party would need to follow a long term mixed economy for successful socialism?
A planned economy has been tried. However, even after removing all market mechanisms, corruption amongst the party managed to shatter the union.
As much as Deng is hated, he managed to set the foundation of a mixed economy, which, as we can see by the great growth of China, was probably the correct thing to do.
Later adaptations by the CCP managed to incorporate precautions to prevent internal corruptions, and furthermore, bourgeoisie corruption to avoid the dissolution of China and shock therapy.
Furthermore, after the dissolution of the USSR, many communist parties followed China in pursue of a mixed economy, leading to growth and the betterment of society as a whole.
That's not to say that China doesn't have its flaws. Particularly in its neutrality and lack of action internationally.
Syria under al-Assad before & during the civil war
I want to learn more about the topic, but everything I see is western bs supporting the current Al-Qaeda regime.
I'm sure you guys also have the same troubles when trying to educate yourselves on such conflicts, so how do you make sure to get a perspective uninfluenced by western bs?
Questions about the DPRK
What commodities are provided by the government?
How are they payed for without taxes?
Is the DPRK considered AES? Why/Why not?
Why did they remove Marxist references from their constitution?
What made the DPRK so special that it managed to not incorporate any capital unlike China, Vietnam, Cuba.., which were forced to have regulated capital?
Criticism of the DPRK?
Let's say you want to have a photo for a project and you couldn't find a stock or previous drawing and you don't know how to draw, then sure, generate it using a self-hosted libre generator. At first, I came out defensive, but I read Artisanal Intelligence recommended by m532 and it change my perspective. I still feel truly attached to human art, but I'm not against the generators if they're still self-hostable and libre.
Alright, thanks.
Are you aware of piefed instances? I don't know the instances there or why someone would even use it over lemmy.
I was unaware. I assumed that if I can see them, they can see me, which is obviously stupid especially since I'm familiar with the fediverse. Other than .world and blahaj, what other communities have defederated from us, hexbear, and .ml?
Is there a specific homeserver used by lemmygrad for matrix?
If not, then do you know a good leftist/ML, libre and privacy conscious homeserver?
How? By "generate me a picture of x"? Nothing about that is creative. It simply undermines the centuries old tradition of putting hard work and most importantly emotion to make a masterpiece. Those tools will never be able to achieve that. Instead, the undermine the already unappreciated artists that put their emotions into pieces that can make people stare in aw. You can argue how automation in a socialist society can be used to better people's lives, but you can never argue that automating such a creative process so fundamental to human expression that it has been used since we were cave men is not a bad thing, let alone a good thing to "increase creativity" no matter what economic system present.
I edited the original comment right after you posted yours.
Really nice overview. Just curious why would anyone complain about AES? Also, could you clarify on how you use all 3 depending on your mood? This will help me more understand the unique communities in each of the 3 instances mentioned. Also, something I would like to add is that I've noticed is dbzer0's stance on "generative ai" is questionable. I'm all up for copyleft, but the issue isn't just with copyright. I feel like the greater issue with "generative ai" is the replacing of actual creativity and human emotion that would be normally tied to the different art forms that "generative ai" is usually made to replace whether on purpose or not, so I expect slop coming out of their.
What are the relations between different lemmy/fediverse instances?
I'm aware of some stuff like that some instances have defederated from others for anti-communism (lemmy.world / hexbear.net), but that's where my knowledge ends.
I'm looking to understand what instances to be aware of, each instances' political leaning, defederation etc.
