I think it has become more than apparent that our federation with Hexbear has degraded the quality of browsing on this instance. I'm generally for open federation, but the amount of brigading and general toxicity is not conducive to the friendly communications that make Lemmy great.
It's not though man...
It fundamentally breaks when ideologies which agree on issues are shown as diverging when others don't. If you're really a communist you should understand this as idealist nonsense which can't actually reflect the complexities of political thought. "Libertarian" thought is also that which supports indentured servitude. Do "libertarian socialists" agree with that? No I sure hope not.
This is a fundamental breakdown of that depiction of politics and the fact that you still reference it as a "useful tool" betrays the incoherence of your politics.
