Who are the abolitionists you follow? By using the word “follow” I’m guessing you’re talking about highly visible or well-known abolitionists, but correct me if I’m wrong.

I mean…I wouldn’t expect an abolitionist to agree with an analysis that says abolition doesn’t cut it.

‘Anyone who is [most humans on earth]’ is too big a category for me to make a useful recommendation. Are you reading for a certain purpose? For example, to understand a specific issue, deepen some relationship, help decide on a course of action, or just feel good?

I’m not an abolitionist because “abolition” doesn’t go far enough. It’s no accident that abolitionists mostly talk about “abolishing” visibly repressive arms of the state but not so much the nation-state system in its entirety, or the European cultural base it rests on. Most of them shy away from even fighting to abolish the nation-state they live in because then they wouldn’t be able to demand policy changes from it.

That does seem like it would cover some cases. In my case, I’m noticing this with instances I’m fairly confident my base instance federated with, because other posts from the instances are visible to me. For example, I didn’t get a notification for your reply, but looking from Beehaw I was able to paste the link and find it that way. For other instances, I have no luck trying the same thing, even if I step back to pasting the post or the community, despite having other posts from the same time period accessible to me.

A practice like allowing or disallowing downvotes cannot on its own be judged “healthy” or “unhealthy”.

@mwalimu@baraza.africa: For your consideration.

I don’t think using this tool prevents that from happening.

Some feedback to see if this is similar for others. First I tried searching ‘skypictures’ and only this post came up. Then I tried ‘!skypictures@lemmy.ml’ and got nothing. Lastly I tried ‘sky pictures’ and it appeared, but with only one post instead of two.

I might be experiencing something similar. I saw different posts under “All” before and after logging in, even using the same sort (“New”). But in both cases I’m viewing from my home instance.

Update: For example, I subscribe to !socialism@beehaw.org and saw multiple posts from my home instance before logging in, but now only one is showing up.

I’m noticing the same thing for some (but not all) subscriptions to communities on other instances. I’ll try retrying for some of them though, hadn’t considered it.

There was another post about them abandoning all their Mastodon instances for a while (like over a month) until a bunch of people complained but I’m not sure how to find it. I think this article is from before that happened.

Thanks, I’m glad it’s not permanent because I’d like to give it a try as well.

I can’t open kbin.social over Tor. It gets stuck on the Cloudflare verification page.

I’m not a Beehaw user but I just wanted to let Africans (including the diaspora) know that baraza.africa is an option.
