@Bloodmasked oh, so I can infer from your statement that you aren't a liberalist?

i think some of it is good idea but bad execution

So, why did you join the server then?

because less communists here than mainstream discords

Are you interested in becoming a liberalist?

i dont want to nationalise the internet so no

Nationalize everything. @Bloodmasked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9CbgexJLK8

i cant read any of those languages

id like to see some liberalist propaganda

@Bloodmasked I also do not want to nationalize the internet

are you for SMACA atleast?

the thing that says twitter should allow everyone to use it because its public forum

Define "you"

Define ,"define".

yo

Because officially, we don't have a position on that. I personally have put forward *some* reasonable positions in order to solve the Big Tech issue, but we haven't defined any organizational stance on the matter

what is the issue

Anti-trust tbh.

anti trust?

@Bloodmasked Wouldn't that prevent servers like this one from removing people from them.

like do you think facebook/twitter/youtube is a monopoly

Smaca that is.

Yes.

I think they are a monopoly.

smaca applies to whatever they determine as 'public forums' its somewhere like in the range of hundreds of millions of users

smaca is a shit idea because yes it doesnt work for discord, more so subreddits

So there is some arbitrary number that is set at which something becomes a public forum?

yes and id say that you have to draw lines like that because the whole idea of 'antitrust' is arbitrary

Yea I'm not opposed to some degree of arbitrariness.

how do u justify the platforms as monopolies, gab has already been created and still exists after having all its backend/providers pulled

I didn't put forth the notion that it is somewhat arbitrary as critique, though I can see how it comes off that way via text.

monopolies dont exist outside of government regulation such as by favors

for example, if you demand a particular good but there is only 1 person who produces it that doesnt mean its bad

@Bloodmasked People who've fled to gab etc are those who aren't welcome on the larger platforms, those who are on the larger platforms are there because they don't have to leave / don't want to have decreased view / subscriber growth.

why does youtube owe it to its creators to provide maximum growth

is a company not allowed to have opinions on who enters their business?

It doesn't owe it to them I'm talking about the incentive for creators to stay on that platform.

so why do u want to punish these companies

Also wouldn't your legislation make it so I couldn't create some to a specific need / desire ie this is a wallpaper subreddit. Haven't you removed the ability for me to remove non wallpaper posts past a certain point?

i dont agree with smaca at all

its not even good if i were to support the concept behind it
