What is it about any ideology that might make it immune to that?

Marxism-Leninism is an explicitly anti-colonialist ideology that helped the PRC overturn the century of humiliation, defeat Japanese and US imperialism and feudalists, to win the greatest anti-colonial revolution of the 20th century.

Only if you are entirely ignorant of that history can you claim that "the anti-colonial camp is just as bad as their colonizers".

So many "fell for it again" awards need to be handed out these past few years.

I just banned like 6 of them, dead or no-content accounts.

Liberals using bot accounts to try to manipulate public opinion (as they do on reddit and the rest of the western internet), is gonna be one of the bigger problems in the fediverse for the foreseeable future, so we have to stay ahead of it.

At this point they're just targeting specific ppl like @Cowbee@lemmy.ml, but they'll eventually start doing it en masse.

The core function of lemmy, is following communities, either built around a topic, region, or anything else.

The core function of mastodon, is following people.

The only way to make microblogging tolerable, IMO is to follow "topic-based" accounts. I might be interested in what a person thinks about a topic, but I'm not interested in what food they ate that day.

There's also the issue of overwhelming feeds: not everyone can be a celebrity, and there's a limit to the number of people we can hold in our heads and follow, before our entire day is wrecked. I can't use most microblogging because its just too overwhelming, and I don't care about celebrities outside of a few writers or academics.

This is an issue with android file handling, not jerboa. You linked something that has a pdf uri, but isn't actually a pdf.

The city's leaders have shown that no amount of corpses will sway them to take action. ICE can kill anyone with impunity and the city will do nothing against them.

Such good soundtracks, like almost every one of them puts you in that era.

Liberalism is the ideology of the ruling capitalist class, and supports their "freedom" to extract surplus value from wage workers.

It has many defenders (a few even among the working class!), just like feudalism / monarchism had some peasant-class defenders.

Anyways the class contradictions between workers and capitalists are irreconcilable, are there is no sense trying to "unite" with our exploiters and class enemies.
