    yeah, but if we believe hard enough in communism or similar, the world will be a magical paradise where money grows on trees but also nobody will ever need it, or something.

    clearly the issue with all of society is people not believing hard enough in the 'right way'.

    This world will never be a magical paradise and we deserve all our suffering for what we did to the mammoths.

    Humans suck and are stupid which is why everything sucks and always will, no matter how hard we believe. Every solution is just a bunch of worse and bigger problems until the earth becomes uninhabitable.

    I'm like practically 40 and still don't really know what communism means in practice.

    Communism is a future society based on highly advanced productive capacity where production and distribution are totally collectivized and run according to a common, scientific plan. Communism as an ideology is the path of building towards that, which requires working people having control of the state, and building up productive forces to where such an organizational structure is feasible.

    In addition, no communist believes communism will come about simply by convincing people of it. This is referred to as utopianism, which stands in stark contrast to Marxist scientific socialism.

    Communism

    Communism is a political and economic system that seeks to create a classless society in which the major means of production, such as mines and factories, are owned and controlled by the public. There is no government or private property or currency, and the wealth is divided among citizens equally or according to individual need. Many of communism’s tenets derive from the works of German revolutionary Karl Marx, who (with Friedrich Engels) wrote The Communist Manifesto (1848). However, over the years others have made contributions—or corruptions, depending on one’s perspective—to Marxist thought. Perhaps the most influential changes were proposed by Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin, who notably supported authoritarianism.

    There is administration in communism, just not special repressive forces meant to control working classes. Lenin didn't "support authoritarianism," he extended Marx's analysis of capitalism to its imperialist, monopoly stage, and came up with many of the strategies for achieving socialism practically.

    most news/politics communities here are nothing but doomerism.

    i like news and politics but I can't do it here because it's so insanely one-sided doomerism to the point it's just vomit-inducing. Nothing good ever happens to anyone, according to the lemmy view of these things.

    Same as users deleting their own posts: yes.

    I pretty much only use Lemmy on the fediverse, and the All feed is plenty after I'm done with my subscriptions.

    How do you doomscroll Mastodon or other parts of the Fediverse?

    it is, but its your own fault for change. Its in your own control if you want to see communities that have stuff that makes you unhappy.

    As everyone else in the thread, yes, but at least it’s a bit more limited.. as in, you’ll run out of content quicker.

    I think the Fediverse shows that it’s not only algorithms that push sooner content; the core issue is humans. We’re a lot more likely to share and like/upvote something that upsets, and some days I think that is very noticeable on here..
