    This comment is nearly perfect

    Just needs a line break between each point

    Edit:

    Rule 3: No bad faith comments. For example, saying "America is a shithole" without further elaboration is bad faith. Saying "America has X problem because Y reason" is presumably in good faith.

    Saying "America is bad because of its neo-imperialism which has characterized its foreign policy since at least WW2, either through its public statements and actions or through later declassified information such as its involvement in the 1973 Chilean coup or the 1965 Indonesian mass killings" is presumably in good faith.

    Saying "America is bad because of its monopolar position in the world economy" is bad faith.

    Saying "America is bad because, in spite of the world decolonizing in form, America has taken up the imperial mantle as a premier neo-colonial power, through weaponization of finance. It extracts surplus value from other countries through financial means such as predatory IMF loans, direct economic sanctions, and manipulation of the US Dollar" is presumably in good faith.

    Saying "America is bad because it starts wars" is bad faith.

    Saying "America is bad because its own capitalist decline requires constant expansion into "new" markets and does not have any purely domestic economy as such. Its domestic economy is a protected garden fertilized with the excess accrued from its foreign exploits. This nationalistic self-interest coupled with the self-interest of certain capitalist businessmen in power has caused the US to be the instigator or at least partial cause of the majority of world conflicts in the last century" is presumably in good faith.

    Saying "America is bad because it opposes unions" is bad faith.

    Saying "America is bad because it actively passes legislation and abuses state authority to break strikes and discipline labor, all while cutting taxes and regulations for the largest corporations, even under ostensibly pro-labor liberal administrations" is presumably in good faith.

    This is exactly how I think federation should be handled. Great policies as always. I've just blocked any instances that have been too annoying so far.

    If a user doesn't agree with how an instance does things, they can (and should) just move to another instance that fits their needs. There are tools already to transfer an account's subscriptions, until this feature is made native like in Mastodon.

  • OtakuAltair@lemm.eetoFediverse@lemmy.ml•This still baffles me, but I guess it's good for federation?

    The idea that corporations will come after federated instances that aren't even creating the posts instead of the source is nonsensical

    Is it? Content from federated instances are cached on the instance itself too, no?

    I wouldn't take the risk federating with legally questionable instances, and no one should have to. I'd just use an alt account for that on another instance that is federated, and I do.

    if the source is taken down then it won't be on other instances anymore anyway.

    That doesn't seem to be the case. vlemmy.net has gone down permanently it seems, and I can still access the content on there that were made while it was up from other instances.
