Is your point that concentration camp guards were not punished as hard as they should have?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 26 minutes ago

It's cool, for the record, I was legit not trying to slander you.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 32 minutes ago

I fully support the OP posting their memes in those instances.

Motherfucker over here splitting hairs on how to disrupt the fucking nazi government...

Not going to engage with this cringe any further. I'm getting psychic damage just engaging with these arguments.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 47 minutes ago (2 children)

This for is not "their ideal model of communism", far from it actually, they are just trying to be pragmatic about it as a form of "temporary retreat".

I am not being disingenuous! Cowbee has argued multiple times that China is in fact communism.

Yeah... I'm not gonna respond to that, trying to keep a good faith convo... But you seem to be more interested in slander...

I am not trying to slander, wtf? You're seriously telling me that other MLs don't consider themselves anti-revisionist and revolutionary?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 58 minutes ago (4 children)

Cowbee is out there saying that China is their ideal model of communism, so I'm not going to be surprised if there's MLs who fucking love NK as it is right now. But I'm not going to delve into Lemmygrad to prove a point.

No? I'm writing from an anti-revisionist, revolutionary Marxist position.

Unfortunately every Marxist position thinks they're the one true "anti-revisionist, revolutionary"

You're right, it's much better if the government agents prop the nazi regime. A strike of any sort is totally edgelord behaviour.

Fucking cringe, mate.

I meant that in the "genuine ML(M)" context

Isn't that a No True Scotsman?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (8 children)

Just an FYI that this is a massive "[citation needed]" moment, literally no-one advocates for anything like tha

How can you say that with a straight face, when there's a whole-ass instance glorifying North Korea?

Not to mention that nobody outright says that they're going to be oppressive. Lenin sounded great in 2017 when he was writing effectively anarchist praxis. We just know that the creation of a new state is going to inevitably end up oppressing and killing those who oppose creating a state.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 hour ago

Yes please, go over there.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 hour ago (10 children)

When the proposed "solution" of the ML(M) would be to place me in a fascist regime with a red coat of paint and oppress me (if not outright murder me in the name of the revolution), I will fucking call them red fash.

or using historical figures to subvert expectations,

There's a fine line between subverting expectations and glorifying authoritarian leaders, and the new crop of posts are hell bent on crossing over it just enough to not get caught.

It's generally a good habit not to execute people on "not sure"

Nina spitting truths as always. She's on fire recently, so follow her if you're not doing so already.

To be clear; everyone working in my government, particularly after today, is a Nazi, or someone who works for Nazis. Do you know what we call people who worked for the Nazis, in the Nazi government? Yes, that is correct, Nazis.

So Machado is certainly not gonna feel lonely on the list of people on my TV who are definitely Nazis.

Oh, was that too harsh? Are you feeling bad for the good career civil servants, working for the literal fucking Nazis, who I have just impuned? Cool, let's refer back to that part where I said I was surrounded by people who openly recognize that this is fascism, and ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY refuse to accept what that actually means.

We call people, who worked for the Nazi Party, in the Nazi government, Nazis. Nobody says "the Nazi government and the career civil servants who hated them but stayed."

"They'll just find someone else."

Then let them. "I took the job at the concentration camp because I was sure Hitler would find someone else" was not a good defense in court last time, and it won't be this time either.

 
 

Happy new year ya 'orrible lot!

Another year and what a year 2026 has been already, amirite?

Tech

First let's talk about new tech stuff for this instance

Upgrades

So let's start things simple, the Divisions by zero instance has now been upgraded to 0.19.15, the latest current lemmy version. All the other frontends we offer have also been brought up to date to their latest versions as well.

Threativore flotilla integration

Threativore has been updated so that it correctly counts votes from flotilla users as local votes. However it's a bit tricky to allow it to determine if a user is a supporter or not, as it doesn't have access to stuff like user emails. For now, I decided the simplest option was to create an account aliasing setup. This means that if you're supporting the flotilla through the Ko-Fi or Liberapay buttons of /0, but your primary account is on anarchist.nexus (or any other instance really), you can create an account on lemmy.dbzer0.com (if you don't have one already) and then PM the threativore bot with this command from that account.

threativore add alias: https://<instance.domain>/u/<username>

Once you do that, all your votes on governance threads will be automatically linked to your /0 account, which also ensures there's no vote duplication by accident.

2025 Notable Events

Let's also take a look back at what happened in 2025

The Fediverse Anarchist Flotilla is launched

Continuing our experiments in how far we can push radical democracy on the internet, we expanded our fediverse fleet into the flotilla, with the addition of anarchist.nexus. And just this month, we're already considering onboarding the first 3rd party instance into the fleet. Things are looking bright!

Haphash protection

Last month, we finally implemented Proof-of-Work protection to try and limit the AI-scraping scourge on these waves. The results one month in are very positives, with very little slowdowns reported anymore and much less headaches for your local sysadmins.

Staff

As the stress of being a fediverse admin degrades our brains, so we need fresh ~~victims~~ blood to help us run the ship. So we've added some more flotilla admins who have been taking to these waters quite nicely. At the same time some of our other admins have stepped back or are focusing more on the smaller anarchist.nexus which is also perfectly fine and exactly what the flotilla is meant to support.

Instance

/0 is officially the 4th largest instance by created accounts and 6th largest by MAU. Pretty neat for our little weird corner of the internet, no?

Membership

And now of course, the moment you've all been waiting for

Overall, +2.3K users since last year with a slight increase in people promoting FOSS over other categories. In the top 3 per category, the only notable change is GNU kicking out VLC our of the Free Software and the Muskrat being slowly phased out of the Other category of mentions, since we started rejecting applications that mentions that fash as their favorite (seriously, what were you expecting?)

Funding

As always, m@tes continue to be amazing, more than fully funding our operations for the past year with tons to spare. Anyway, this year I decided to switch the goal to yearly (since I keep procrastinating saying anything about it anyway)

Please continue being awesome and help ensure we can stay online for years to come!

Ko-Fi Liberapay
Ko-fi Liberapay

Finally I want to remind everyone that this is all only possible due to all y'all consistently interacting and growing our communities. Keep at it and we'll keep providing the space to do so!
