    What exactly does activitypub server framework mean?

    Edit: found this as their description-Fedify is a TypeScript library for building federated server apps powered by ActivityPub and other standards, so-called fediverse. It aims to eliminate the complexity and redundant boilerplate code when building a federated server app, so that you can focus on your business logic and user experience

  • Thank you for discussing with me too, I really appreciate it. I feel very strongly that because there are so few people here compared to mainstream platforms, we all have a much greater impact on the culture of this space. I want to be a part of it being as sincere and kind as possible.

    We don't completely agree, and that's okay, I appreciate you sharing your perspective with me. I hope you have a lovely day my friend. If you celebrate it, happy Thanksgiving!

  • Bernie Sanders: We Need More Working-Class Candidates to Challenge Both Parties

  • Thank you very much for taking the time to type out all of that information, I really appreciate it! I would very much like to see the two party system overturned, and understanding the issue better helps me consider which (probably crappy) route has the best chances.

    I don't think that saying someone wants a third relevant party means they're intrinsically acting in bad faith. I absolutely understand seeing it as completely unrealistic. It probably is. I just also have a really hard time seeing this system yielding the kind of represtation this country needs, and that's something I desperately want for this country.

    In an economy, only two companies vying for control of a market is a duopoly, and it's unlikely between the two of them that they'll do a good job of serving consumers. There's no meaningful competition driving parties to really offer compelling solutions to the public, because both parties have to option of just saying "well I'm not THAT guy over there, the one you hate"

    I'd like to see the first past the post voting system replaced, but l worry neither party will ever offer the public the option to replace it if it threatens their control. Obviously republicans never will. But I also don't really believe another party can win until it's changed.

    Its an intensely frustrating status quo. And I can't help but look backwards desperately wish we could have had bernie instead of Hillary. :(

  • Firstly saying it's logical to push for a third party doesn't actually mean "let's just piss away our votes"

    It can mean pushing for voting reform along with a new party. And the change has gotta start somewhere if you want it to happen, and if you think it has to happen then picking a place, even one that you feel is impossible, doesn't make it a bad faith argument. Its not like there's any easy route to overturning the two party system, so if that's what you think has to happen, you don't exactly have any options that will be a cakewalk.

    And furthermore, I'm not aware of statistics that say that (though I wouldn't be surprised) but you're essentially saying that because your (I assume) informed opinion is that it can't be done, anyone who suggests it must be suggesting it with an ulterior motive. You reached for malice as an explanation where, if you're right, ignorance would be a much more suitable explanation. Its an issue I care about, and if we actually have data to suggest its impossible then I would be ignorant too

    It'd be far more productive to say "I really don't think that's possible, here's why: xyz. I think if you want to make that kind of change happen I think you'll have to find a different approach"

    Do you have research or data on the topic? Or are you being hyperbolic in order to make your point that you think it's unrealistic? (Honest question, I think both would be fair, though if it's just a personal perspective that its unrealistic I do think that even further weakens the argument that its bad faith on OP's part)

  • Yes. There isn't another party. Democratic voters didnt turn out, and lots of people feel that is a reflection of the Democratic party's strategy, and it's ability to connect with people and motivate them.

    For those who see it that way, there are two options, the reform and improvement of the democratic party, or a replacement that can better motivate people by offering more significant change. And many folks in the camp that are frustrated, and feel the democratic party isn't reflecting their interests, or doing enough to connect with amercians, also don't feel like the democractic party can change.

    People want to act on what they think will solve the problem. I understand you think their idea of a solution is counter-productive, the case I'm trying to make is that going around assuming everyone you don't agree with is acting in bad faith in service of a secret agenda is AT LEAST as counter productive, if not substantially more so.

    Theres an entirely legitimate good faith reason for someone to post this kind of thing- they think it will build momentum towards what they see as the solution to the problems they care about.

    If we can't even have productive conversations about what the problem is and why we think it should be solved a certain way, we're fucking doomed. Democracy is fundamentally about collaborative governance, even in an unhealthy democracy like ours. These problems are fundamentally bigger than any of us can solve alone, and the solutions we pick, and how many people will throw themselves behind them, are BOTH materially improved by seeking to understand those you disagree with, rather than insinuating that they're up to some plot to get a fascist elected, here on one of the most progressive platforms on the entire internet.

    Your frustration is understandable. We're all fucking angry and trying to find the best way to resolve what we see as the source of our anger.

  • Not every single person who disagrees with you is a paid shill. I voted for kamala and did so happily, and I'm very worried about the democratic party's ability to change in the way they need to also. At some point, we do need to upend the 2 party system, it has yielded only bad things.

    I don't know the right way to do that. I don't know how we can do that with the least possible compromise, giving conservatives an advantage by splitting the progressive vote while using a voting system that favors two entrenched parties over outside candidates. AND ALSO the two party system is a problem this country desperately needs to solve.

    The two parties are absolutely not the same, but that doesn't mean the democratic party is doing a great job of representing people's actual interests, it just means they aren't literal fascists. I dunno about you, but I'd really hope my political representation can be better than "literal fascists, or, people who kinda sorta sometimes care about issues that represent you, except all the times when they don't"
