All websites are inherently communist and if that's disagreeable to you there's always mud to play in.
How? Could you please explain that
Well websites are moneyless, classless, and stateless friend. We aren't talking about rocket appliances here. Do you even definition?
As someone who has managed a website: This is utter bullshit.
A website is someones private property and the organization is purely hierarchical in nature. It goes owner > admin > moderator > user and each one has control over the others.
The components to host a site (a server, hard drives, etc.) cost money. The connection to the internet costs money. The physical location costs money to exist in.
That private property still lives in a physical location and must abide by local laws. The laws differ based on the physical location, but there are laws they must abide by, all the same.
Hell, to even connect to a website I have to pass data over numerous different pieces of private property on the way to the site I want. Each step potentially cataloging the data I sent along the way, if the data is unencrypted. Even certificates which allow us to pass encrypted data to and from a site come from centralized groups called Certificate Authorities.
When someone bans you, what options do you even realistically have other than getting your own private property and spinning up your own site? Usually arguing about a ban goes badly.
I want some of whatever you're smoking. Websites are the complete opposite of open and community operated. Computers were never built for democracy.
What stuff are you even smoking?
The commie stuff I'm smoking is just a fetish, a substitute for the lack that constitutes the human condition. You're trying to fill the void with your disavowal, but the void remains, and that's what's driving your desire
Absolutely not
Average commie
That strikes me as humor but who knows.
Oh, no, honey, I'm not average, I'm outstanding. You may find some practicing communists in this thread, but me? I perfected it.
Damn! That's literally the most cliche comment a liberal or a commie gives in the internet
I don't think cliche means what you think it means
An action or a phrase which is overused or overdone in such a way that it doesn't hold any meaning
Isn't that the meaning?
average meaning
