Completely own fucking goal too.

Like, what has he achieved here?

Hexbear was going to cause no problems. This has caused no problems for Hexbear - on the contrary it's REALLY FUNNY. All it has achieved is pissing off half this userbase, splitting the community and making a mockery of everything this instance pretended it stood for.

Complete own goal, entirely for egotism and ideology.

weren’t even using any of the artwork or branding

Yes they were. That's not true again. It has changed since which is certainly an improvement, but hardly the whole issue.

Looking at lemm.ee maybe, but thanks for the suggestions.

Nah mate pretty damn sure I told you I wasn't sure what the position of the team would be until further discussion... A further discussion that didn't happen because ignoring that response sealed everything.

Do you honestly expect anyone to believe that fucking North Korea ranks highly in ANY developmental index. What a fucking joke. Get your head out of your ass.

What are you imagining the country as? Do you think it's some country where people push carts? It's certainly not sunshine and roses but I think you'll be surprised to hear 50-80% of the population owns a smartphone and at least 6million of the population use a contract mobile operator. https://www.38north.org/2022/11/twenty-years-of-mobile-communications-in-north-korea/

Looking into ownership rates of basic stuff like this is a pretty good way to get perspective on this kind of thing, especially when so far out of touch.

Yes I do mean the time the official gamingcirclejerk team asked you to stop the misrepresentation of this GCJ, which is literally stealing the branding, and the graphics created by the official team on the subreddit, and presenting itself as a continuation of it. I asked you to resolve it. Whether that meant putting the official team in charge, or whether that meant some other resolution, because attempts to reach out were being ignored. I am not misrepresenting that conversation, neither are you really I don't see a reason to contest that other than me as topmod, nobody suggested anything other than the existing team being added to it, most likely in the existing hierarchy but we didn't get that far in conversation did we? So given there's no much disagreement on the content let's just skip to the end eh?

Antik: "And what’s wrong with there being two GCJ’s? Surivival of the fittest basically. If you have a better team you can outgrow the current GCJ on lemmy.world easily - especially since you will be linking from the original subreddit."

GCJ: "Because it’s our labour? After 12 years of putting in the work to build and manage the existing community it sticks in your throat to have someone come along, use the same name, take the branding that we made with our own hands so they can benefit in taking over from the 12 years of labour that we performed to get it to where it is. If you worked on lemmyworld for 12 years, brought it up to hundreds of thousands of people with a history of thousands of media articles about its antics and influence on the industry you might also have a problem with someone else then using the same name, graphics and branding to take over simply because they typed in the name first."

And there was no response from then on.

After discussing it with some of the team gossip got around various reddit mod backrooms and bish bash bosh nobody wanted to have anything to do with this space anymore because it doesn't respect the work and effort people put into creating those communities and bringing them up to what they are today.

Like, what exactly did you expect this response to do? Inspire faith in the way this team respects other teams, wants to maintain positive relations and genuinely does care about the work people put into their communities? It was flippant. And the expectation was that same flippancy about everything would be the experience modteams would all get if communities were made here - so they weren't, with completely valid concerns.

Communism is not a magic button, it is a process of development. Reaching the higher-stage communism you're referring to is very likely to be outside any of our lifetimes it is far easier to talk about socialism as the transitional state between capitalism and eventual communism. Communists being in power doesn't mean we magically press a button and suddenly everyone lives in a utopia of stateless material abundance, it just means the socialist state is working towards it, the transition between capitalism and communism.

What the socialist state itself looks like differs widely based on the conditions, just like capitalism has a huge amount of variance based on the conditions. Each nation has very different needs, problems and cultural idiosyncrasies that result in the socialist state needing to look quite different for each of them. The outcome is ultimately determined by those conditions, and by the conditions imposed upon it in its defence of itself against capitalist onslaught attempting to destroy it.

Liberalism is literally the ideology of free markets. It IS capitalism.
