I agree with everything you said, but can we also include "communists" alongside "fascists"?

I have violent flashbacks from the trauma my family went through due to communism in my country. I have noticed there is a pattern of denouncing only one ideological extreme but not the other.

I just want to make sure you are truly serious about this.

@ntx Interesting. I notice the same confusion in academic software engineering discussions. There is still, to this day, no clear understanding of what a "feature" is and how it maps to functional (and non-functional) requirements.

For instance: GC is a feature of a language, but the requirement can be defined both as "We need a GC" and "We need to fix memory leaks and security bugs in a <insert adjective> way".

@Nina

Hmm nothing I am aware off; I just think Mastodon is better for community building

@Aznorth Yes, that and also the fact that this platform has not been infested by all types of parasites with shady intentions..

And I believe this will remain so due to the decentralization aspect :)
