  • Despite my disagreements with local anarchists, they are objectively helping people and are lightyears above the Online Left. I will take comrades of almost (almost!) all tendencies over the Online Left.

  • Why not Debian directly instead of MX?

    Debian requires more config out-of-the-box to get a nice desktop/laptop experience. This is ready to go.

  • I'm only used it as installed onto a USB, and in fact I chose it for that reason, so my experience isn't ideal because of that USB drive speed but it's a great lightweight OS that looks nice out of the box. Lightweight doesn't have to look clunky or feel strange or unfeatured. I recommend it if there are reasons that lightweight is important (old hardware, low-end hardware, portable OS, ... )

  • On the recent LLM brouhaha and the FAF stance on LLMs for fediverse moderation.

  • It’s not my instance. it’s our instance, our FAF. I don’t have any more power than any other admin

    I've been involved in a (non-anarchist) online group which tried to figure out how to minimize hierarchy for their website, so that no rogue or absent member could ruin it, so I'd like to know how the db0 instance approaches the issue without simply being a benevolent dictatorship by whichever members effectively own the servers and domains, and therefore can seize the site at will. They ended up simply settling for open source code and good will, which worked for them but didn't truly remove power hierarchy.

  • is there any chan/old forums do you like that aren't full of reactionaries?

    You could also use something like Tampermonkey (?) to make your own minimal CSS style for Lemmy, making it minimal, lean and blocky for you.

  • chans

    Plenty of smaller, interests specific ones. Some even ban frogposters on sight or only allow politics in a containment thread. I think /comfy/ board is still alive somewhere. There are also a few larger openly-left ones, like the infamous /leftypol/ (split into leftypol.org and leftychan.net, each with their own pros and cons) and GETchan (famously upload some great music compilations). I was about to suggest lainchan but you already have. Nukechan is probably too slow but has some high-quality threads.

    Erischan and plus4chan are interest-specific and not explicitly left, but have left tendencies.

    The chan format (not merely the minimal aesthetic of English language chans) has a big impact on their culture. I don't really believe in just putting a Yotsuba B skin over Lemmy. There are federated imageboards (I don't believe it's fediverse) but moderation is probably a nightmare, I assume it would just be used be freeze peach naziphiles banned from everywhere less.

  • 39% of Repubs don't think they could beat Trump? And 28% failed to answer Y/N? That's amazing. I expected more ego.

  • Judge who sentenced South Korea’s former first lady to jail found dead

    Jump

  • Yep, it's presently a hard ultracapitalist oligopoly dominated by four companies, with the last two presidents impeached, the first of the two was groomed by a cult.

    But this is the Sixth Korean Republic. After the initial US military dictatorship, there have been many cases of SK military dictatorship, the most recent one being 1979-1987 I believe.

  • IDK, this post says “GPT-5.3-min” which is not an open-weight model AFAIK.

    They claim it's not being used, it's really using a local model, which is inline with their anarchist ethos so I'm leaning towards believing that, and that the GPT reference is an in-joke. I do think it's unprofessional to write something like that, even as a joke, but it's not the first time I've seen unpaid mods make dumb mistakes like that.

    Specifically asking for political classification is a little bit weird though.

    Out of context, yes.

    In context, dbzer0 is an explicitly anarchist instance - the users of the instance have shared political values, and their instance rules ban certain politics (such as fascism) - so it's a legitimate part of the moderators' job there to assess politics and ban any which break their rules. Their users don't want to see certain politics.

  • Speaking as a Marxist who sees the PRC and the CPC as a current progressive world force - why are all your posts so aggressively-ridiculous strawman slop, as if its aimed to alienate working people? It's the flavor I see in dirtbag-left online circlejerks and never among communists I've seen in real life, and I've met thousands of us.

    Work-life synergy is the future - we need to build a society+economy that focuses on doing work that promotes life. When did the two become separated?

  • Other have already explained, but to simplify, a tag-based media archive. The original is Danbooru (cardboard), an anime-based one (including NSFW, so I haven't linked). They often tend to be fandom-based.

    A high-quality safe-for-work example of a standard online booru is Find A Fox.

    OP's tool is a local single-user booru instead, using Hydrus Network as an example. Personally, I like its UI, and while it has a developer-driven swiss-army knife design vibe, I still like it and have used a wide range of its many options. I haven't tried Blombooru and can't see many screenshot samples so I can't assume what specific issues OP has and how Blombooru solved them.

  • In addition to the monetary penalty, a permanent injunction required domain registrars and other parties to suspend the site’s domain names.

    Has there been any discussion to host official .onion / I2P / etc. addresses to avoid domains? I couldn't find any in the FAQ.

  • My issue with Protonmail is that, last I checked years ago, I couldn't set up email forwarding or a local client without paying for an upgrade. So there's a soft form of lock-in to prevent changing providers.
