Let's be fair here, they're probably talking about the properly far extremes. The Nazis and the communists both killed millions and caused a lot of suffering last century. Horseshoe theory and all that.

Obviously the far left you typically encounter online doesn't tend to be authoritarian-communist-regime levels of far left, but I feel like people are being a little to hostile to the idea that extreme in general are pretty bad things.

Oh sorry, I totally replied to the wrong comment lol

Was gonna go refind the right parent and reply, but tbh I'm in bed right now and too lazy for that, so I'm just leaving the non-sequitur there for anyone interested

I've gotten in so many heated debate on that one, as someone who grew up on a dairy farm. People see the gross factory farms in the US and get incredibly offended at me "lying" by claiming that plenty of farms are not like that, and it just comes down to ethical sourcing.

No need if it was JWT token. After you use your password to log in, the server send your browser/app a JWT token. It uses this token whenever it requests anything from the server, to show that your logged in for this session, and the server can look at the token and tell who it gave the token to, show it knows you're logged in.

All that is to say, logging out will mark any leaked token as no longer valid, and when you log back in you'll have a new, non-hacked login token.

Unfortunately it seems really common for any new social media platform to lean way too hard into wither the far left or right, instead of finding a middle ground where a wider range of political views can coexist.

But hey, if we had to pick one extreme, then far left is a lot better than the far right nazi apps that crop up a lot.

This seems to be a big issue with the general fediverse community attitude to me. It reminds me a lot of the Linux community 10+ years ago, constantly downplaying some pretty huge technical hurdles that new people need to climb, and then wondering why it struggle so much to gain traction.

Imo there is, but it's solvable. Personally, I almost always browse specific communities/subs and almost never scroll through my home feed. So multiple communities is annoying because it means jumping between each one on the list. Could be solved though, by just implementing a Lemmy equivalent to multireddits.

Not yet. Threads has announced fediverse Integration as "coming soon." When it does, you'll need to find an instance that federates with threads. Most of the fediverse seems to be losing their fucking minds over the thought of it right now, so you'll probably end up having to search for a while for a federated instance.

A lot of those apps are only a couple of Weeks old, so give them a little while and you might be surprised.

Love the link, but that analogy got a little too complicated halfway through haha

First I've heard that from a lemmy.world user lol

I'm enjoying the site overall, but I feel like a lot of people are way too die-hard into the philosophy here, to the point where everything seems to come back around to endless circle jerks about how cool and awesome we are for using the superior open platform.

I like it because it's open, but it really isn't THAT big of a thing, and I'm getting pretty burned out only the endless talks about what is and isn't the best pure way to implement the perfect utopia of federation.
