To set something straight when I use the term “authoritarian” I’m using it in the more broad sense to talk about obeying an authority which would then include the boss-worker relationship.

Secondly I never said that the system doesn’t work, have any benefit, or would be better off if there wasn’t a boss (even though I do believe the last one) but I am saying that using that kind of system to run a business plants the seeds that make people ok with living in an authoritarian world.

Also thats the same argument with how people say that living under a benevolent dictator would be more efficient than democracy.

I mean yeah maybe (I’d even say it’s debatable) but that’s not a kind of system that we want.

As an extra tidbit the link I put in the post shows that the USA and Australia are the only place where people who are centrist are more likely to accept authoritarianism than both left and right leaning voters.

Make of that what you will.

Hmm. Could you explain your position more?

Edit: wait I just realized this could be sarcasm.

I just noticed you are new to Lemmy. Welcome 😊.

Edit: Also I haven’t read those before so I’ll check them out thx.

No one from hexbear has commented on this thread yet.

No it’s not doing anything about injustice that is making the world as fucked up as it is today. And that isn’t happening because we are being disempowered.

That's unfortunate.

Don't you guys have an admin chat group. Or at least you guys would have some way of keeping in touch since this has happened before.

When you check the mod logs and filter by mod you can see that it came from Mr. Kaplan which is a lemmy.world admin.

So yes it was a lemmy.world decision. The question is whether or not this admin was a lone actor.

Yeah this admin is only 1 month old. So it does seem likely that they weren't around for the last outrage.

The part that annoys me is that this was done silently even though last time they said they would ask their users. Hopefully it was just an admin that didn't get the last memo.

Edit: the community -> their users

How do i understand this?
