The beauty of the fediverse. You have the choice of multiple projects and for each project many instances covering political, technical and other points of view. Each of those able to curate and moderate the experience to fit in with expectations.
If none of those suit you, you can make your own.
I totally understand what beehaw are trying to do. If there was no choice there might be a problem but, there is plenty of choice.
Eh I’m pretty sure these parts are there to satisfy some outside actors, the theory behind it certainly is socialism/anarchism, and if you can make transformative change without sticking strictly to definitions from the 30s, that’s still a good thing. Also I believe that democracy/socialism is not really a once you’ve got it you’ve got it thing but a continuous process that strives to better itself constantly, so yes it’s still being built and it will be forever.
Sadly, with recent events, all I can think about with this is how Linus Sebastion would go on the WAN Show and say things like, “You don’t need a union unless you have bad management, and I never want my employees to need a union.”
Yeah that’s a gross misunderstanding of what the purpose of a union is.
You do want a union even if you have good management.
A nice management might be able to give you a large salary, flexible worktime, etc.etc. all by themselves, but they’re still going to own you like a lap dog.
A union can give you the right to negotiate these things, so that you are free from being dependent on the handouts from the very nice management.
It’s not about taking control of the company or whatever they’re afraid of. It’s about taking control of your own employment and regaining your freedom and rights to have a say in it.
I mean, the phrase is not that bad. If a manager listens to the issues and has the power to solve them and does solve them, I guess someone can argue there is a lower need for one.
But of course, what if management changes to the worse? Then you are not prepared.
A world news article by Associate Producer Savannah Meacham titled Aussie family regrets visiting a beach notorious for monkey attacks after being attacked by monkeys at a famous monkey attack beach in Thailand. Below the title is a paused video with two photos side by side, the left one shows a person bent over with a long-tailed macaque running at them, while the photo on the right shows a woman with her hand over her mouth, looking shocked.
