The admins defedded from SJW because of the quantity of CP and other objectionable material coming from there. It was a matter of their modding workload, not anything to do with politics.
The line in this instance is to not use defederation as a political tool, and that is IMO correct. At least that's one of the main reasons I chose this instance.
Hold on, did you give Engels DEMENTIA and SHAVE his BEARD?? You monster.
I watched this entire "teaser" and still have no fucking clue what this product even is
The Onion always spits fire, but this is next level 🌋

This is what Brits do to maintain their monopoly on the whining industry
It's an ad for a shop, that's it.
Accompanied by a picture of a very high end emtb which no one in their right mind would ever commute with. Like that thing must cost at least $10k.
It would actually make their point more to show a cargo bike since they're heavier, but maybe they're not even aware they exist?
There are some massive intrinsic advantages of the CLI though, that apply for everyone, not just leetcoders:
fzfand run the exact same command again.So while I agree with you that there's plently of elitism around the CLI, you do yourself a disservice if you try to avoid it.
I agree, we should be students, but whom should we be students of? The countries you mention are not monolithic, and they have obviously had changes in political line and objective conditions over the decades.
Mao and the CPC went through much of the struggle that Marx and Engels describe, but they did it by building socialism, not capitalism. I choose to be a student of the China's socialist roaders, not China's capitalist roaders.

Personally I'm not particularly critical of the China of today, since they're an important opponent to the imperialism of the Global North. But it is very clear to me that their economy is not socialist, despite them practising democratic centralism and having significantly expanded workers rights compared to neoliberal countries.
Of course it means something.
Yes, it is a political decision in the sense that politics pervades all human activities and decisions.
But it is obviously a different choice to that of many instances, where they actively use defederation as a tool to shield their users from any political opinions outside the mainstream.
The admins here have chosen not to use defederation as a tool in this way and I applaud them for it.
