There's a distinction to be made between things that "look" dystopian, and actual dystopias. I think a lot of our current visual language of dystopia was taken from fascist/communist design choices which were in many respects independent of all the oppression they perpetrated. this example really drove that home for me, since the media it inspired came to mind before the reality.
That’s an interesting line of thought. Can one see it truly as independent from their oppression? Perhaps this type of propaganda is innate to what it truly is, and any such oppressive system might be incapable of not using it.
Yes, it was a „election poster“ for the 1934 „elections“, and the building is the Palazzo Braschi, where the fascist party had their HQ.
The „SI“ all over the poster is Italian for yes, since the „choice“ you had in this „election“ was this: yes or no… (They were already in power at the time, so that was no real election.)
I mean, Lemmy has the exact same potential for issues with admins and mods - the key difference being that if those issues happen you can just up and off to another instance without having to abandon Lemmy altogether.
More importantly, you could have an instance that’s specifically tailored to a purpose. Like a mental health non profit could create an instance with expert guidance and instance wide rules for mental health communities.
The difference is that instances have self determination. On Reddit all subreddits have to operate under the umbrella of Reddit whether it’s good for them or not. Here communities can go to an instance they’re aligned with. For example there’s a very popular German instance that has all the topics in German for a German audience. In the case of mental health, the ideal situation is thata non profit with expert guidance could create their own instance with communities lead by people who actually know what they’re doing. On Reddit there’s only one sub that can have a name whereas on lemmy you could have a bunch of mental health communities under someinstitute.org or something.
Well that kind of makes sense. After everyone left reddit, people came here and we’re getting told to start communities left and right. I think the new mods need to learn how to do things in a more structured way.
For all it’s flaws, reddit has built a decent system for helping mods get started, even if a lot of the actual support is provided directly by other mods and not by reddit itself.
It seems so lazy to me that so many game studios are just focusing on milking that one cash cow title they have, rather than just spending their time developing new games. Greed ruins everything
