People almost never seem to mind when something’s posted to two communities. Sometimes people will complain when it’s three communities. Any more than is likely to annoy people who browse by “All,” and then the mods will have reports in their inboxes to deal with.

I don’t think this person is looking to hack on, or even host their own service. I think they’re looking for a not very expensive turnkey SaaS.

• The extent to which Signal’s server software is open source has been a point of contention.
• Loops isn’t open source.

  Is Loops open source?

  It will be! We plan on open sourcing the platform after it reaches a stable and easy to maintain state.

You seem to be conflating browser technology (Chrome, Chromium, Blink, Gecko, etc.) and search engine technology, but they are unrelated technologies. I can’t imagine what your mental model for these technologies might be to create this conflation. Their only relationship to each other is that search engines are accessed via web browsers, and that web browsers often (but not always) embed a widget for calling search engines.

I suspect that the cancerous “appification of the web” has reached an advanced stage where people don’t know how to distinguish between client and server.

Repeating that Republican foreign policy is worse than Democratic foreign policy is not nuance. Implying that a Democrat’s actions were “mistakes” and Republican actions are not is not nuance.

US foreign policy is the largely bipartisan policies of imperialism in the interests of the capitalist class, which both parties represent, because the US is an oligarchy.

After witnessing decades of US foreign policy, I have seen that it is virtually entirely a bipartisan consensus. US imperialism and neocolonialism are bipartisan. The fire hose of regime change operations are bipartisan. Full-spectrum dominance is bipartisan.

The only Adults in the Room are we Enlightened Centrists.

Americans talk Newspeak thanks to a century of socialist purges and red scares. Their “left” is so far right that the actual left is silenced, is outside the Overton window. In terms of political vocabulary, Americans don’t know their asses from their elbows.

(for example, see nomenklatura)

We have nomencultura at home, in the Professional Managerial Class: the college educated labor aristocracy that serves the capitalist class.

This is the result of a century of communist/socialist purges and of cold war propaganda in the US. Most Burgerstanians haven’t known their asses from their elbows politically for generations.

Can anyone translate this vaguepost?

To be clear I do not think that your views should be silenced and whatnot. Just agreeing that this is indeed a “far left” echo chamber.

We, just like you, have been bombarded incessantly from birth with the hegemonic bourgeois ideology. It is inescapable. Most people don’t even realize they’re soaking in it, because they’ve never been outside of it. For most people it’s just “common sense.” It’s literally impossible for us to escape to a “‘far left’ echo chamber.”

Who is really in an “echo chamber”: those who have investigated outside of our hegemonic liberal/capitalist/imperialist culture, or those who never have?

Leftists are socialists. Liberals are not socialists, they are liberals. Liberalism is founded on the right to private property, otherwise known as private ownership of the means of production, while socialists call for the abolition of private property (not to be confused with personal property).

There appears to be a lack of “centrist”

“Progressive” liberals in fact the centrists—they’re center-left at best—and there are plenty of them here.

right-wing voices (and I don’t mean extreme MAGA-type views, but rather more moderate conservative positions)

These people are liberals as well, but because they usually break Lemmy’s code of conduct regarding various bigotries, they get usually quickly the boot.

non-political

Everything social is political, and the fediverse is social media.
