Completely agree, comrade. Religion is only a vector of attack to the socialist state, therefore It's in the interest of the working class to have a firm grip on it and eventually get rid of it. I can't see a world where socialism/communism and religion can peacefully co-exist.
This isn't limited to JS. Too many times have I seen someone ask a question of how to do XYZ in language ABC where most of the replies were some form of "Just use this library bro" while not actually answering the question. And usually the library that's being suggested is some big monolith that implements a ton of shit that no one really uses.
I'm at a point where any computer (including smart devices) that doesn't run a GNU/Linux or BSD derivative where I, the user, have full control over is completely useless to me. Proprietary OSs are so limiting, they're like a plastic toy hammer for kids in comparison to GNU/Linux, which is like a real metal hammer.
This and the Barbara Streisand effect as other instances are making threads and creating drama about us, which will lead people to look us up out of curiosity
Literally how I found GenZedong. I used to browse latestagecapitalism and antiwork on reddit and kept seeing people shitting on "those authoritarian tankies over at GenZedong" which made me look it up out of curiosity. I think this is a net positive. Many people already have the right mindset but just need a lead to follow. And some may find their lead here.
Personally I'm not bothered by people/bots/feds coming here to downvote us. On reddit downvotes are terrible because not only does "the algorithm" take the voting scores into account and tends to "hide" posts with a low score, but if your user's score is too low you're unable to post and comment in some subs. But on lemmy none of these things are true. Lemmy doesn't even keep track of a user's total voting score.
From my so far limited experience of playing around with it for 30 minutes in a QEMU KVM, it does use the apt
package manager but a quick look at /etc/apt/sources.list
tells that they use their own repositories. Looking through the repositories of what they have to offer it seems that they aren't just mirrors from another distro but actually maintain their own packages and port some Ubuntu packages. A look through their Kernel Config zcat /proc/config.gz
tells that they compile their own custom Kernel as well. Also it doesn't use snap
at all, but they do offer it in their repositories. And for some reason there is dockerd/containerd pre-installed and pre-configured on the base System. My guess would be that they use docker for the Mobile apps, but I can't verify this right now since every time I try to install a Mobile app from the Software Store it tells me that I can't run a VM inside a VM. And unfortunately I don't have some spare Hardware to test at hand atm.
To answer your question; It seems like an independent distro utilizing the apt package manager and porting some Ubuntu packages. But I can't say for sure, since all of the documentation on their git repositories is written in mandarin.
Is there a specific date of when they will federate with us that I'm not aware of? Because I don't see anything other than "soon(tm)".
Also there are a lot of people in that thread who don't seem to understand what lemmy/federation even is or how it works. Despite how worrisome some of their users and rules can be (CW on meat and milk products? That has to be ironic, right?) I'll still welcome all Hexbears if they follow the rules. I look forward to the day where our communities can finally interact with each other
I just copied the title from CGTN minus the text in the parenthesis.

Same.
If bourgeois democracy is used as a tool by the party to reach and educate the working masses and grow the party then I can agree with that. What I originally meant was a marxist party obeying by bourgeois rules, to the point where the main focus becomes electoralism and everything else gets pushed to the side, loosing sight of its original goals and loosing the revolutionary spirit. Essentially taming the party and putting a leash on it, if that makes sense.
No focusing on electoralism and bourgeois democracy. If a party that calls itself "marxist" tells people to vote that's a huge red flag.
Anti-Imperialism and Anti-Capitalism are an absolute must. If a "marxist" party doesn't recognize that capital is our common enemy and must be destroyed then they're a lost cause.
Revolutionary. A marxist party has to recognize that socialism can only be achieved via overthrowing the capitalist ruling class and implementing a dictatorship of the proletariat.
No Anti-AES propaganda (examples: siding with the Anti-China narrative on Xinjiang or Africa, saying the DPRK is a monarchy where people have no "freedoms", etc.). A marxist party should recognize AES countries for what they are, as any marxist should.
No Imperialist/CIA propaganda (examples: Putin is richest man and has a mansion the size of a village, Putin suddenly invaded a peaceful nation for no reason, Stalin was a gruesome tyrant/dictator who caused a famine, Lenin was a mass murderer, etc. )
