It's also federated. Which instance has a tankie problem? Which instance has a Nazi problem?
It’s primarily the Tankie Triad; That’s .ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad.ml. To a lesser extent, some people also include lemm.ee too. The reason tankies are so widespread on non-communist posts is because .ml is the Lemmy dev’s home instance. So if you want to see updates for lemmy’s development, you need to federate with .ml. Which means even non-tankie instances are inevitably exposed to all of the tankieposting.

Can we talk about "afflicks" Choosing to spell like a 4 year old when spell check is pervasively available...

I really really hate that they call themselves a socialist party... like the KKK calling themselves Racial Unity.
Teeeeeeeeeeechnically, the term is correct, the Nazi regime did offer socialist benefits... Only for those they considered "nationals", hence NatSoc.
Socialism alone does not guarantee democracy nor freedom of speech, it is strictly a financial system where the means of production are owned by society. The prefix "national" then defines who that society is.

Good on you even if I hate Patreon's usability for just about anything
But if you haven't already, I would recommend doing some research about why so many writers/creators have stuck with substack. I want to say Aaron Rupar actually talked about this and I would be shocked if the 404/Aftermath crews didn't. I remember reading and basically nodding my head and acknowledging it was all way above my head but... these are the people who would both know and care.
Yeah but it would require me to go to Substack and I won't do that.

But just look around here for any time someone posts a link to a 404 media article and you get "Ugh. Fucking scammers want to rugpull and steal all my personal information" for... wanting ANY email to be used for a free account to just limit the impact of bot/ai scraping.
I don't want to create a fucking account on every single fucking website I enter to read a shit article about some random bullshit
That's just making the internet even shittier place than it already is. Telling your readers to eat a hatful because scrapers are not respecting robots.txt? Please step on lego
404 media doesn't make you create an account, they just send you a link to your email, but having to create a throwaway email every time so they can't track what I read is a hassle I just don't care enough for. I'll either skip the article or use a proxy.

Tankies call me a Zionist because I’m Jewish but Nazis pose an existential threat to me. I’ll take dumbass tankies.
Some people struggle to make the split between religious people and religious extremists.
Not all Muslims are part of ISIS, not all Jews are Zionists. I don't know what's so difficult.

I get permitting these blogs as part of a commitment to avoid censorship - someone with non-mainstream but far less extreme opinions can look at them and say "If Substack doesn't censor even these guys, it definitely won't censor me." With that said, I'm still surprised that Substack apparently doesn't manually curate its push notifications.

And yet it is used as the bogeyman anytime someone mentions the dirty word "socialism" in the US. Despite the fact that Socialism at this point would have to be better better than the crony capitalism we have now.

I'd chalk that up to the assumption that a cloud has partially or fully obscured the sun. If clouds weren't a thing, we'd be much more sensitive to light changes as they wouldn't be a part of our outdoor experience.
I'm not checking to see if the sun is still there every time the ambient light outside dims, y'know what I mean?
Photography hobbyist here: our eyes adapt to light more than we realize. What to us is a slight change in brightness is a dramatic difference to a photo camera.

It's about attributing all the ills of society to a particular class (specifically the class in charge of the banks and other moneyed interests) and claiming that all violence and oppression directed toward them is justified.

Oh yeah. Circulating random swastika-labelled push notifications talking about a sickness that "aflicks (?) all Jews" is a pretty big no-no in most, if not all, of the civilized world.

Nazis called their symbol Hakenkreuz (Hooked Cross).
For some reason, anglos chose to use Eastern religions' term for their holy symbols.

"aflicks" -facepalm-
Flicks starring Ben Affleck

Yeah, it would be wonderful if that symbol could eventually be reclaimed. Seems a bit far off though. Would English speakers know what you refer to if you say hakenkreuz?
In my native tongue it's called hakekors, and I speak some German, so I'm not in a position to assess how understandable it would be to folks who only speak English.

aflicks...

Oh Substack what are you doing

If you ever get the chance to see one it's actually quite a bit more odd than a cloud passing over. It feels kinda wrong. Shadows do funny things especially around things like tree leaves. The colors are just kinda eerie. Like the other person said we're not super good at telling light levels so it LOOKS sunny but the sunlight doesn't feel warm.
But yeah if you don't know it's happening it is totally possible to miss a partial eclipse if you're inside or busy and just passing through outside.
I saw last year's North American eclipse in the path of totality. I know what you mean. It is very strange.

Yeah I traveled for that one and just barely avoided the clouds. Memory of a lifetime.

I think calling it 'hooked cross' would be a good start.
