A comprehensive 3 part series of documentaries on the early history and struggles of the Anarchist movement, starting with its birth with the Industrial Revolution, then exploring the forms it took in France, Spain, Russia, Mexico, Ukraine, and the United states, concluding with the Spanish Civil War.
Is there an established etiquette/protocol on lemmy for crossposting to similar communities? I was under the impression that there was a system in place to prevent the same link from repeatedly showing up in someone’s feed if they were subscribed to all of those.
If there is, I’d like to learn it too. I sometimes will crosspost non-time sensitive content with a day or week time gap, so its more likely to collect more new eyeballs.
If its immediately relevant, I don’t see a problem giving multiple communities a chance to have their own conversations about it. But these are all my own ad-hoc rules.
I’d say the best thing to do is to edit the post text to remove nested quotations automatically added by the repost function. You’re not using anyone else’s words, so you don’t have to worry about directing credit. Your repost on Kbin is pretty comical with the 5-deep nest count. People on dbzer0 are probably miffed that they’re demonstrably your third favorite.
I feel like that’s probably the best solution, but the couple times I intended to do that, I would forget once a few days passed, so I just decided on using a shotgun scatter method. But that is just me taking the lazy way out. I should try and slowly meter it across communities again and set a reminder or something on my phone.
I thought maybe that served some sort of function, since in the UI there was a little bar of ‘Crossposted to X’ links, and figured maybe the nested comment is what did that, and maybe that might prevent the spamming effect on people’s feeds.
I’ll try deleting the nested comments and see if it removes that cross-posted bar or not.
Edit: It does not! Which now that I think about it is painfully obvious, since how else would the first post with only the 3-deep nest still list all the other crossposts? D’oh.
😂
Just saying, it is good that you have discovered anarchism and enjoy it. But I feel like you have a lot to learn about the world and people and how fucked up people actually are. They will exploit your kindness and use it to control you.
Is there something glaring about me that makes it seem as though I’m naive in some way? I’m curious what makes you say that, unless you mean that Anarchism itself is too hopeful about the good nature of others?
Not at all, just me being cynical
I used to be more cynical and wary of people than I am now. I think it’s good to be vigilant, but at the same time I also think it’s easy to became isolated if it goes to far. I’ve tried to strike a balance where I try to assume the best in people until they give indication that they cannot be trusted. My life has gotten a lot better since I’ve been more open with people, but maybe I got lucky.
I actually did become incredibly isolated, cutting myself off from society entirely for a few years. I honestly still haven’t recovered from it and am not sure if it’s even possible to do so. Life is just a big game, with millions of meta or sub-games, and I do not want to play the vast majority of them. Humans are not meant to live in the manufactured reality that we do, and I suppose I do not have the social skills to find people that share this viewpoint
