flamingos-cant (hopepunk arc)@feddit.ukOPMto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Sultana makes a new statement responding to the allegations against herEnglish1·2 hours agoI’m autistic. When people don’t agree with me. I don’t call it discriminatory. For that, there would have to be a pattern over a period of time longer than 4 weeks. Not getting unilateral say is not sexism. Her mistreatment accusations are real vague and lacking in examples.
So just because she didn’t leak a bunch of emails and internal communications like a drama YouTuber you can just safely dismiss her claims of mistreatment? You don’t have any idea of how things are going internally within Your Party and internal sources have indicated that Sultana is being pushed out by Corbyn and his orbiters.
Whether she said it exactly, or insinuated it. She attacked his character.
I didn’t say she should hide sexism, but to attack peoples character within weeks when you don’t get your way sucks. If I was any of them I’d no longer want to work with her. She cannot work as a team. How can you set up a project with her.
Funny you say this, from the Novara article I linked:
One insider told Novara Media that Sultana allies Driscoll, Feinstein and Winter have been “told to fuck off”, leading to stalemate, dysfunction and a whole host of people who really should know better refusing to work with others.
Where was this ‘they should suck it up and work together’ attitude when Adnan Hussian was subtweeting Sultana and telling her to ‘sit down’ (a totally not sexist and very professional thing to do)?
She hasn’t got the reputation or following JC has. What are her credentials for leader? What contest did she win? She carries more negative impact than benefit and decided to torpedo a promising movement when she didn’t get her way.
She’s the only person in this political project with any significant political standing other than Corbyn. She’s popular, an effective communicator and she’s the reason Your Party exists at all.
flamingos-cant (hopepunk arc)@feddit.ukOPMto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Sultana makes a new statement responding to the allegations against herEnglish61·12 hours agoA 150,000 racists only marched on the capital on last Saturday, god forbid we show some urgency.
So she’s not said if she discussed with anyone the members portal
She has, from her previous statement: “Neither of this week’s emails had the dual authorisation of both myself and Jeremy - which was the agreement made at the start of this process.”
Calling your co-leader sexist is highly unprofessional, even when you disagree.
She didn’t say that, she said she was being subject to appalling behaviour and exclusion from the working group that she likened to a “sexist boys’ club”. She never called Corbyn himself a sexist, and you don’t need to be personally sexist to perpetuate sexist systems.
Also, saying a woman should hide how she’s being mistreated for the sake of professionalism is kind of a shitty thing to do.

The speed that’s this has imploded is impressive, even for the left. It’s almost funny enough to make you forget that we’re going to have a Reform government in 4 years. Almost.
Just join the Green party.

The infighting isn’t between the Greens and the new prospective party though. Polanski has given every indication that’s he wants the Greens to work with the Corbyn/Sultana party, they are just devolving into infighting before even having a name.

This is huge for me as well. I tend to write very disjointed sentences as I write the start, think of how I want to end it and forget to change the start so it flows well.

The next major election is the local ones in May, that includes the Scottish Parliament, the Senedd and a huge swath of English councils.

Bring back? It’s still a thing in her state.
flamingos-cant (hopepunk arc)@feddit.ukto Fediverse@lemmy.world•This is what solidarity looks likeEnglish3·6 days agoRight now blacksky.community is an app that uses Bluesky’s AppView, which in turn uses Bluesky’s Relay. They’re working on their own AppView (which will have the equivalent of local-only posts) and that will use their Relay.
Interesting, from what I understand of ATProto, this would be hard to do on protocol, it’ll be fascinating to see how they do it. Maybe something off protocol like the recent bookmark feature Bluesky got.
I didn’t mean to undercut your point though, they often talk about PDSs as analogous to web pages, so your “different search engines” analogy is very accurate, it’s just not quite there yet.
I’d love to take credit for this, but the ATProto docs themselves make this comparison which is where I’m getting this from.
if I recall correctly either in (((streams))) or Forte (or maybe both) MIke implemented the nomadic identity over ActivityPub as well
This sent me down a bit a of a rabbit hole. It seems (streams) used an updated version of Zot, Zot/11 but was renamed to just Nomad. I can’t find anything about this, the (streams) repo only contains the spec for Zot/6, so I’m not sure about it’s APub compatibility. Apparently, Nomad had been discontinued in Forte in favour of pure APub, anyway.
If you’re thinking about this kind of stuff for Lemmy, it’s also worth looking at https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-ef61-portable-objects/3738
Oh, I know about Silverpill’s work, it’s really interesting! I even mentioned it recently. I’m glad we have someone smart like them working on this stuff.
I do think some kind of separation of user data from servers, like what AT Proto does, is actually quite desirable. I just don’t like that PDSes can have their data harvested by whoever, I think data sharing with a server should be opt-in.

A violent, racist mob descended on the capital and this is the line the govt is pushing.
People at this protest were literally calling for Starmer to be assassinated.
The fact nunchucks don’t involve either throwing or nuns has always felt like a cop out to me.
flamingos-cant (hopepunk arc)@feddit.ukto Fediverse@lemmy.world•This is what solidarity looks likeEnglish2·8 days agoOh, I thought blacksky.comnunity used Blacksky’s relay. If it uses Bluesky’s then yeah, disregard what I said.
That’s not a perfect analogy though because Blacksky makes different moderation decisions than Bluesky.
I’d hope so given how abysmal Bluesky’s moderation is. The discovery feed is filled with transphobia, but you can’t say Charlie Kirk should rest in piss.
Again though it’s not a perfect analogy because the AT Protocol architecture lets you migrate all your data between PDSs seamlessly, and so far only a few niche ActivityPub implementations support that (Hubzilla et al with nomadic identity, ActivityPods using Solid Pods).
I don’t believe Hubzilla’s nomatic identity works with APub though, irrc it uses something called Zot.
I’ve been thinking about how to add nomatic identity to Lemmy quite a bit and it’s something I’d like to work on after 1.0 is out, but it’s hard a problem for sure.

It’s an action that needs confirmation anyway. :)
This is a setting on your account, under ‘Appearance’. I have it off.

Oh no, I hate this kind of interface. If I a click a button, it should do something, not open a menu.
flamingos-cant (hopepunk arc)@feddit.ukto Fediverse@lemmy.world•This is what solidarity looks likeEnglish3·9 days agoindependent but still connected (think about Lemmy instances)
It’s not really connected in the same sense two Lemmy instances are connected. They’re able to pull in the same data as Bluesky as it’s all public and PDSs don’t really have the ability to block a relay from crawling them.
It was a screenshot from the Indiana Jones game of Indy petting a cat saying “You don’t care much for these fascists, do you?” They captioned the screenshot with “good kitty”.
