i like 'real genius' and 'buckaroo bonzai across the eighth dimension.' i'm curious about some of those others. my favorite 80's movie that feels of that decade is 'the chocolate war'.

it's surprising to me too that you got so many subscribers so quickly, only surprising because it's such an eclectic mix of posts from what i've seen. i subscribed too.

you've inspired me to think more creatively about what kind of community i might make, which i've been developing in my head since i looked at yours.

i watched two shows on that list.

mushi-shi: i've seen it twice. i think i probably consider it a near masterpiece. the only anime that i can confidently call a masterpiece is the original 'berserk,' which i favor even more than my favorite live action movie or series. i would probably rank 'mushi-shi' as number two on my top anime list, and then probably 'cowboy bebop' at number three.

monster: i know many people regard it very highly, so it's worth a try, but for me it didn't leave a big impression, but was interesting enough to finish, which is a compliment because it is long.

thanks for this post. right now is an interesting time, which i think could be regarded as the first great migration from reddit to lemmy and the wider fediverse.

interesting idea for a community.

if i look at my own profile while logged in, all of my subscriptions show in a column on the right side of the page. but if i look at your profile i see none of your subscriptions, presuming that you have some; the right-side of your profile is blank to me. the only thing i've seen so far in another person's profile on the right-side column is what communities they moderate. so it seems to me that our subscriptions are rather private.

when you're on the lemm.ee instance, scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on the "instances" link. that page shows "linked" instances on the left column and "blocked" instances on the right column. "linked" are the instances we're federated with(grows naturally), and "blocked" are the instances that sunaurus elected to defederate with. you can go to any instance and look at their lists too, even without an account, so they are very publicly visible.

is that what you're looking for?

side-note: before today our blocked instances list was empty every time i checked, which i do fairly often.

i definitely misunderstood as well. you could say,

Now, the only remaining points for me are: (not part of the update, just my hope)

regarding libertarianism, you said,

The original usage of the word was in relation to early libertarian communism, e.g. direct transition to stateless, classless, moneyless society.

mambabasa said,

Classical or left-libertarianism is the same as anarchism. When the French government outlawed anarchism in the late 19th century, anarchists in France developed a new word to describe themselves and their political philosophy. They began to call themselves libertarians instead of anarchists.

these seem to be contrary claims. or are you both saying the same thing?

 

i know only a little bit about each philosophy. they seem so similar, and i wonder, are they really just the same thing in spirit? or would you make certain distinctions? i'm seeking more understanding. i know that each has a different history, but i am asking about the philosophies themselves, separate from their manifestations.

additionally, are there other titled philosophies that are more or less the same as these?

i have read some definitions of so-called "classical liberalism" and they vary. some say that it is a philosophy that isn't attached to any political agendas, but other definitions bind it to certain political agendas. i presume that so-called anarchism and libertarianism are also defined in different ways depending on who you ask.

it seems to me that many of the terms people use to categorize each other are too ambiguous, over-simplify, become perverted over time, and cause too much misunderstanding. maybe we should rid ourselves of these category conventions altogether, but that's a conversation for another time; my primary question is enough of a topic for this post's discussion.
