I don’t think it matters. the specific ways in which email services work or are used are not what the analogy is supposed to explain.

it’s supposed to explain how two people who log in to different lemmy instances is different from logging into Facebook and MySpace, or Twitter and Threads.

"how does it work? aren’t they different sites?’

“you know how you can have a gmail and someone else can use an outlook email but you can still send emails to each other”

done. even 70 year olds would get it. problem solved. easy, approachable analogy.

why do you want terrible ui

that’s not a bad idea at all. much more beginner friendly to download an app and register from there rather than having to do it externally and then coming back to the app to log in

but that’s a disgusting logo

every time spez opens his mouth a bunch of people go “hmm let me see if there’s something else”

ikr, why do people care? it’s not like us politics affects anyone outside the us. this is one country that notoriously doesn’t meddle in any other country’s matters one bit, and has no armed forces or even political influence outside its own borders.

that’s right

wait, so if someone is a Nazi, you want us to be respectful of them too? you’re falling into the tolerance paradox again. “EVERYONE” here shouldn’t really include the intolerant. if the intolerant feel welcome in a space, that space quickly becomes inhospitable to anyone who isn’t.

edit: yeah i misread the image and the intent of the comment. apologies.

first of all i didn’t talk about conservatism so that part is irrelevant… second of all, it doesn’t matter what anyone calls it, but “authoritarian socialism/communism” is an oxymoron; which is fitting because tankie ideology is nonsensical just like fascism.

when it comes down to it, the left wing is against social hierarchy and right wing is for it. “authoritarian left” doesn’t make sense; it’s just a way to refer to nonsense like tankie ideology… right wing ideology wrapped in leftist language.

yeah, which is why i didn’t say communists. I said tankies.

do you mean i have to make a new account? or is there a way to “move” basically?

tankies are not “left”. they’re basically fascists with a leftist paint job. they use some left-related words to propagate right-wing views.
