I don’t actually think that software is necessarily neutral, and that for this sort of thing to be successful in the current landscape it MUST be Marxists who make it. Take Bluesky, for example. Or OpenAI is perhaps a better example. Maybe this breaks some people out of the “Elon bad -> Dorsey good” cycle of analysis as to why lemmy exists and maybe leads them to question the use of the “tankie” perjorative in general.

I’m assuming “tankie” is what liberals call leftists?
And what leftists that support bourgeois ideologies call other leftists.
I agree. “The medium is the message” also implies that the medium cannot be neutral.
