@sneeden a mastodon instance uses way more cpu and memory compared to a pleroma instance for the same amount of user traffic, which leads to more emissions
i can't believe you're doing this @gretathunberg
@bird @hakui I can't even troll her myself because her server blocks me, all I can do is make fun of the policies which led to the massive spike in energy costs in Europe, the reintroduction of burning brown coal in germany (much worse than regular coal), and importing fuel to burn (mostly from russia) because their attempts at discontinuing "fossil" fuels led to a collapse of their national energy sector. I don't hate blindly, it's that the policies she advocates for are unrealistic, unachievable, "solve" a nonexistent "problem", and would destroy and impoverish the world and kill most of the lower classes

@lanodan @bird @djsumdog @coyote @hakui Too bad that Mastodon instance seems to be a whitelist only one. I've checked her post on the actual instance and most of the visible replies were calling her out for not being extreme enough.

@xianc78 @bird @djsumdog @coyote @hakui Weird one is that I can't find any info about that on their about page :(
Because while accept-lists can be useful… I think it should be transparent, hopefully it is to the logged in users.

@lanodan @bird @djsumdog @coyote @hakui I think they are trying to hide the existence of instances outside of the "approved" Mastodon instances. Journalists who got dogpilled by Poast and DRCs are now writing hitpieces on why they think fedi is worse than Twitter. It seems like Mastodon.eu doesn't want to make the same mistake.

Quite a shame because I'm probably the biggest climate denier on the fedi and having a confrontation with her would've been epic.

@xianc78 @lanodan @bird @djsumdog @coyote >probably the biggest climate denier on the fedi
oh yeah??? paging @augustus @Duine climate denial grand prix let's go
@coyote @bird @Duine @djsumdog @xianc78 @augustus @hakui I just don't really care about arguing about climate, because in the end I can see how it can be compared to "The Sky is Falling!" type of things.
I'd rather focus on the massive part of ecology that's about actual current lives and the local environments.

@coyote @augustus @Duine @hakui @djsumdog @lanodan @bird The countries with the freest markets are the most eco-friendly. The best way to do with environmental issues (actual issues not the fake climate stuff) is just through strict enforcement of property rights.

@xianc78 @hakui @lanodan Climate changes with the shifting of the tectonic plates. We have ice ages, heat waves, mass extinctions... but yet life finds a way to prevail. So what, the problem isnt so much climate, but *pollution*.

Everything is your property, but property is responsibility. To paraphrase Stirner- whoever knows how to take, to defend the thing, to care for it, to him belongs property.

Governments can use that same logic to defend statism, saying that the land they claim and defend with military force is theirs. It seems like Egoists are statists after all.

@xianc78 @cee @hakui Are you literally trying to throw away a whole ideology with something that's barely a quote?
It's like saying you don't like a music style because one band said one line among many that you didn't like.
@lanodan @xianc78 @cee you know who else drank water????? that's right, adolph h. hitler

@lanodan @cee @hakui Not really. Just their property norms. The Ancap/Voluntaryist norm of mixing labor with unclaimed property is more consistent because the state can't use that logic since most of their land is stolen. The Egoist property norm allows someone to take said property if their offense outranks the previous owner's defense which is what the state does all the time.

Max Stirner was an influential person, don't get me wrong, but he seemed to be inconsistent on a lot of things. Not to say the Murray Rothbard, David Friedman, Samuel Konkin III, or Hans Herman Hoppe are/weren't inconsistent on things either.

@xianc78 @lanodan @cee the thing about egoism is that it's just "do what you want", trying to construct a consistent ideology around it is extraneous and binds people from what they really want

it's like how politics are also inconsistent because the core of it is "friend good, enemy bad"

@lanodan @cee @hakui But to be fair, Max Stirner actually never claimed to be an anarchist, contrary to popular belief. His philosophy did influence a bunch of anarchist writings though.

@xianc78 @lanodan @cee anarchy is not the end goal of egoism though
people can find that they want to participate in a society and it won't be a problem if that's what they really want

@hakui @cee @lanodan That sounds more like Panarchism (opt-in/opt-out governments and societies) which is what I identify more with.

@xianc78 @cee @lanodan it's like you're still trying to find a software license that works for you while egoists are already on the WTFPL
