  • YSK that “neoliberal” refers to a discrete set of economic policies including deregulation, privatization, and so-called “free trade” implemented by both center-right and center-left parties

  • The Chicago Boys’ role in Chile’s Pinochet dictatorship really puts the lie to the whole “freedom” angle of neoliberalism. Allying with a guy who rounded up thousands of dissidents and summarily executed them shows their freedom is only for the select few.

  • Right-wing libertarians (this is another term with two very different meanings) are neoliberal absolutists. Center-right and center-left politicians usually have to compromise with other sets of ideals. Marijuana decriminalization and legalization is one area where right-wing politicians typically preference the social conservative side over the neoliberal/libertarian side. For a center-left example look at the Affordable Care Act. From the beginning Obama was never going to favor a true nationalized health care plan. He offered compromises within the existing framework like state exchanges.

  • Why Reddit and u/spez must win

    Jump

  • The lesson from GeoCities, MySpace, Yahoo Groups, etc. and now Reddit is that you can’t depend on a large corporation to host your content indefinitely.

  • Reddit’s decline will look more like Tumblr’s than Digg’s

    Jump

  • I tried to look up Tumblr’s present and past Alexa rankings, but it turns out that Alexa was closed last year.

  • My hope is that federation will be a good solution to these issues. Users can choose a home instance based on the types of content they do or don’t want to see. Instances with conflicting focuses or policies can defederate from one another.

  • My hope is that this is a shift back to a more decentralized internet.

  • YSK: Transparent images can look great on Lemmy

    Jump

  • Looks pretty crisp on dark mode at these dimensions. I wonder if it’s enough contrast at a much smaller size.

  • Should we start crossposting content from Reddit?

    Jump

  • Point taken, but moat of those are at least a year or two old, so the posters might not even be active on Reddit anymore.

    Jump

  • I’m going through all time top subreddit posts to seed content here. I’m mostly grabbing links to other websites. Unfortunately there are a lot of subreddits that strategy doesn’t work for, though, if the top are all self or image posts.

  • Are you able to get it to work with ext4? It doesn’t give me the “undelete” option.
