We do see the votes. Publicly posting them sounds like poor form, but then what do you expect from crypto bros?

Pick a trustworthy instance or better yet, host your own.

Running your own instance isn’t going to hide your votes.

Perhaps you are not aware that some instances already do, and that some—for example hexbear & lemmygrad—have done so since their inception.

The way it plays out is bugs-no

I don’t know what mental model someone is working from to draw such a conclusion. A free speech absolutist one? A consumer rights one? 🤷

Whether there should be right wing comms is up to an instance’s admins, and whether other instances should federate with it is up to the admins of other instances.

As for freeze-peach absolutism, consider the paradox of tolerance.

The USian obsession with free speech comes from the over-application of a first amendment right. That freedom is in fact a restriction on the State to abridge speech, and not a restriction on Lemmy mods or admins.

Antisemites hardly need to hide behind anti-Zionism when there are plenty of antisemitic Zionists. It would be counter-productive if they did, because antisemites would love to see Jews removed from their country, and why not removed to Israel?

I don’t see a typo. Perhaps my satire was too convoluted for its own good.

I’ve only seen the old old one, not the old new one or the new new one, because I am old old.

You’re right. I can’t photoedit my way out of a paper bag 🫤

You just described the exact same people the article described, so I don’t know where you’re getting “really affluent corporate types” from.

Trump’s real power base has never been the white working class “basket of deplorables”:

The Nation, 2017: Trumpism: It’s Coming From the Suburbs

But scapegoating poor whites keeps the conversation away from fascism’s real base: the petite bourgeoisie. This is a piece of jargon used mostly by Marxists to denote small-property owners, whose nearest equivalents these days may be the “upper middle class” or “small-business owners.” FiveThirtyEight reported last May that “the median household income of a Trump voter so far in the primaries is about $72,000,” or roughly 130 percent of the national median. Trump’s real base, the actual backbone of fascism, isn’t poor and working-class voters, but middle-class and affluent whites. Often self-employed, possessed of a retirement account and a home as a nest egg, this is the stratum taken in by Horatio Alger stories. They can envision playing the market well enough to become the next Trump. They haven’t won “big-league,” but they’ve won enough to be invested in the hierarchy they aspire to climb. If only America were made great again, they could become the haute bourgeoisie—the storied “1 percent.”

There’s apparently at least one temporarily embarrassed billionaire who disagrees.
