Firstly, my condolences for your great granduncle.

Since it has been 80 years for him now, does he remember his experience at Auschwitz as just another old memory? (Albeit, a quite important one) Or does he still remember it as a traumatic memory, as if it happened only a couple of years ago?

Sorry if this sounds stupid, or insensitive.

I wasn't conflating. Conservatives are not liberals. But they are both right wing. (at least, classical liberals are)

And there is more than just class warfare, i agree.

But so what? why does it matter that they are right wing? not everyone has to be a communist.

The term left and right are very ambiguous to define in the first place. Some people argue that leftism is anti-capitalism. Some argue that leftism is just belief in equality. They are all right. Same thing with the right wing.

Liberalism is against most things that the right wing of the political spectrum explicitly stands for

I'm assuming you're talking in a US perspective.

Leftism describes a spectrum of political ideologies that seeks to minimize hierarchies and desires to achieve equality and egalitarianism. Liberalism is a pro-capitalist ideology, and capitalism is hierarchial and is unequal. Thus, liberalism is right wing. Progressivism isn't related to right or left wing. You can be a communist but socially conservative. You can be fiscally conservative and be progressive. In the US, being left wing or right wing is mainly measured on how progressive, or if you support social programs (a little leftist, but still can be right wing, just center-right). Liberalism is right wing. Conservatism is far right.

Don't be rude, they can't help it. They have a natural instinct to talk about US politics, even if completely unrelated. They are victims ;(

What's the deal with loops? i have an account, and it's buggy, uncomplete, and not even open source/federated (Yes, i know it will be) But why release it so early? it's clearly unfinished.

Good, but slow

Yep, paradox of tolerance. We shouldn't bend over for far-right, or even fascists for the sake of "pure tolerance".

Oh, definitely. Lemmy may be smaller than most communities, but it feels organic, and more tight-knit. You see many recognizable users, there are a lot of great threads, and i think the community is pretty healthy. Other social medias may have millions of active users, but they are more focused on collecting as much internet points as possible and making their post hit off, instead of interaction with people. And it makes it feel repetitive and artificial. Main reason why i quit twitter, tired of seeing the most subpar posts from a random user with 100k likes.

And yeah, we're more spoiled nowadays, unfortunately. When i joined lemmy, i was bored due to the low amount of daily posts, unlike reddit. I still think it's a problem and we need more MAU, but we should also somewhat get used to it, too. Probably healthier for all of us.

I also prefer the new (new-old, the current one sucks) reddit UI and love photon, and i don't think it's too far fetched of an idea to want it as the default UI. I think it should be left to instances, so for example, lemmy.world could use photon for the default, yet lemmy.ml could use the default lemmy UI.

I'm still a little concerned over first impressions of a new lemmy user, when they try to use lemmy.world on a weak device, and realize it is slow, or laggy, and could sour their opinion on lemmy as a whole. A non tech savvy user might not completely understand the idea of lemmy, or clients, or even instances. They'd just blindly choose lemmy.world and assume that's the "main" instance. (I also could just be underestimating the average user's intelligence, lol.)

That's why i brought up performance as a main point to why we should keep the current lemmy UI. Maybe if photon is optimized and is more stable, i could completely agree that it should be the default.
