Lemmy and mastodon are not really connected, I don’t know about the others. I would focus on one protocol (is that the right term here?) and show different instances. I’m not on lemmy to follow mastodon users, it’s a very different concept

Is his first name John or Join?

Not really. His doctor told him to eat less meat, he never stopped completely

This is so stupid. Didn’t they have carpets in the 80s?

So “outside” is real? I don’t understand. Can someone give me a download like or something?

So the bolshevik state bureaucracy wasn’t a new ruling class giving themselves privileges others didn’t have?

Not exactly. The lowest level of councils is free for everyone to attend to. These neighborhood councils send delegates to the city level and so on. These delegates are revocable so when they don’t do what the basis wants, they are gone. Also on each level, each group can opt out if they want. And decisions are made on the lowest level possible so much more voluntary and less central than Canada

aside from the decentralization of power?

That’s the whole point. If your state concept is broad enough to entail any organization of a certain size, be my gast in a council republic

So we have a factory council open to all workers in the factory to make decisions and send revocable delegates to the city council where they talk to the delegates of farmer councils, consumer councils, … If the factory council makes unfair decisions (and I assume you mean all the workers in the factory belong to the petite bourgeois since they all can attend the council), the consumer council can take collective action to counter it.

So who is the ruling class? Certainly not the bureaucracy as in liberal and bolshevik states since it doesn’t exist here. Or is it the city council? They are revocable, not elected for a given period. Like the soviets before the Bolsheviks ruined everything.

With a world wide net of councils, all connected but not centralized

That’s state socialism, a specific kind of socialism that wants to keep the state apparatus, not realizing that it will always (re)create a ruling class. Different from Libertarian Socialism which unironically want a stateless society, not as a never to reach end goal.

I’m doing my part

Wait, isn’t socialism all about class solidarity? “Working together regardless of class to fight a common enemy” sounds more like nationalism where at the end the upper class profits most. Unless we are talking about a classless society but that’s not “regardless of class” but “with no class distinction” which sounds very similar when I think about it.

My name is legion and my pronouns are they/them

That way you can search one instance but not the fediverse

Instruction unclear. Am I the cat or the monkey?

Living the dream

One of the things you will regret later but for the moment it’s great

“Sure it’s Santa Clara not Santa Claus? I don’t care about their gender anyway.”
