@yianiris ^The linked thread is an excellent example of why idealism is a dead-end ideological tool that gets people nowhere.

Somehow, very few people find all this disturbing, and in contrast to social media owned and operated by large corporations, many progressive, democratic, liberal minded people think and act convinced that this is better. I have no clue what goes on in most corporate social media, long ago when I used twitter I don’t remember any post of mine being removed. As far as I can tell, as long as they can sell IDs, cookies, email accounts, and advertising they couldn’t care less what you think. Communists (authoritarian/totalitarian and libertarian/democractic), anarchists of all colors and flavors, never see so much restriction, sensitivity, and censorship as exercised in #Fediverse.

Thinking that corporate social media doesn't care what you think, that there is no restriction or censorship of socialist or communist or anarchist thought, that everything is welcome so long as money is made, is thoroughly ahistorical and a blatant disregard for material reality. Thinking that, somehow, the #fediverse is a better representation of #neoliberalism than corporate social media, betrays a basic misunderstanding of what the word even means.

There is a difference between "corporate media" as in NYT preventing any other expression than their own managed rhetoric, and something like fb/twit/reddit/...

For example you can start a "room" on reddit and critically analyze where and why has Marxist theory failed, or how Marxists treating original theory as holly script have prevented revision of theory when it is needed. On lemmy m-l fediverse servers your material just gets deleted and account banned.
