I like lagrange for browsing the web on desktop and I use deedum on my phone.

Could you elaborate about features you like about this language? I have never heard of it before.

That is false. Esperanto is eurocentric. Thats true. But the reason it is so easy to learn is not because it is a merge of european languages. Rather it is because it is consistent and its many elements which by design makes the language easy to learn.

• All present tense words ends in -as, all subjectives ends with -o.
• The letters are always pronounced the same.
• The morpheme ‘mal’ is used a lot which creates the antonym of a word. Varma and malvarma means respectively warm and cold. Sana and malsana means respectively healthy and sick.
• Esperanto gives the speaker the -n suffix which is marking the direct object. In essence, this grants more flexibility to switch around on sentences to better fit how you want to speak the language.

In contrast, english is consistently inconsistent and thus makes it very hard to learn. The pronounciation changes depending on the words. The morphemes are inconsistent.

I believe the best way to ensure freedom over our music is to allow emigration without loosing your music collection. Not securing this freedom, will create needless dependency to the distributor.

If you leave spotify you loose your music collection. Even if you have spent hundreds of bucks on the service. In contrast, services like bandcamp allows you to download your music. So if you one day figure you want to ditch the service for something better, at least that won’t be an headache.

Its fair to criticize me for using the term tankies. What is a better term for one who support these countries?

The problem with lemmy right now is that there are too few instances. The instances that has momentum has a strong tankies presence which a lot of people are uncofortable with. The most natural answer would be for them to create their own instance, but they chose to leave the platform instead 🤯

Me personally, I’ve realized how much my perception of socialist countries has been warped by capitalist propaganda and I’m reluctant about believing anything that western media says about these countries.
