WTH is a “soulist”?

!soulism@multiverse.soulism.net I don’t totally get it (other than the anarchism ❤️🖤), but hell yeah more Piefeds!

Hmm looks like setting local as the default homepage view doesn’t work. I’ll sort that out.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

I want an instance that does not ban anyone or any group. I do not want administrators to protect me from others, or to censor me if I disagree with the group. Because the group is way off base on a lot of shit, you better believe it. If it was not we would not be losing. We all trust the wrong people, if not the worst people.

Not much. Oxygen is much lower on the list of priorities than capitalism and pluralphobia.

Yes mechanized troll legions, now entirely autonomous trollbots. You have to ban som users I am sure. For the fediverse to take off, it needs to be better than reddit, and to thst end, instances should adopt a clear set of rules, where violations can be appealed all the way to a jury of users. Because powerful interests have their hooks in reddit and induce them to violate users on other issues that are not even ahainst the rules, . Argue with some israeli trollcheerers and you will soon see what I mean. It will only get worse, we can safely presume the government is and will be moreso giving users to ban. Perhaps mostly through contractors to avoid another homeland security leak. Whole instances should not be banned or blocked to everyone in the instance either.

I don’t really care whether you see gravity as inescapable (though I’m glad the Wright brothers didn’t), but there are other “natural, inescapable laws” that are completely fake, and some people cause a lot of harm by attacking those who break them. And so I want you to be open to the concept of people accomplishing the impossible, so that you won’t be one of those people. For example, gender essentialists claim that sex is a “natural, inescapable law”. And that makes them transphobic. Species essentialists claim that species is a “natural, inescapable law”, and not just a convenient social construct biologists use to make their jobs easier. And that makes them kinphobic. I want you to open your mind to the impossible and question everything.

True, but that doesn’t make gravity all good. It puts gravity on about the same ethical standing as an abusive parent. If we can find a way to improve gravity, we should do it.

Well, Donald Hoffman, the cognitive psychologist investigating perception of reality, has asserted that spacetime is a mental construct that simplifies our perception of the world around us so that it requires fewer resources to sustain. Since under Einstein gravity is curvature of spacetime, if true this means gravity is part of our interface too. There is something making people fall down ladders, but it’s not as simple as our mind perceives it to be, even for Einstein. Newtonian gravity and Aristotlean gravity have of course been entirely debunked and were thus “escaped”. So yeah, gravity is fake. But gravity’s fakeness isn’t that important.

The belief in an objective reality is the source of all bigotries and nearly all oppressions. It’s the reason for religious genocides, transphobia, capitalism, and zionism. You believe in less reality than the people who do those things. You’re less realist. I want you to go further, be more radical, believe in no reality. I think you haven’t gone far enough yet.

A more interesting way is to understand that there is a difference between what is and how it affects us. The point isn’t so much to decide whether gravity exists or not but to make sure it doesn’t impose any unfair weight (ha) on some members of the society and not others. When we say “it’s just exists” we’re very close to say “there’s nothing we can do about this” and that justifies unfair situations.

I find it quite sad that you don’t believe chocolate tastes good. I do, and the fact brings Me happiness, despite its subjectivity.
