I think your questions are more complicated than you realize.

Are Autocracies more powerful than Democracies?

If you separate the form of government from the governing, yes autocracy is a superior form of government. A dictator can instantly marshal resources to face any threat, or completely shift an entire nation, if a direction becomes clearly wrong. The reason they don't work, is because the leader is always human. Humans make shit leaders, almost always. So distribution of power across a large number of people mitigates the risks of putting it all in one.

Are all democracies are doomed to fail?

Yes. Obviously. Everything eventually fails. The Sun will fail and take the earth with it.

Is the future of humanity, autocracy? For the rest of humanity's existence?

No. Obviously. Everything eventually fails. The Sun will fail and take the earth with it. I would hope humanity (or whatever species humanity evolves to) lives past that.

I just call it a "Pull Cart".
Or "Cart" for short.

It's a pattern.
I know it seems strange from the anti-cancel-culture contingent of society, but it's a real thing.

You're speculating that Kagi is actually astroturfing on Lemmy. That's why I asked for an account you believe to be doing it on Kagi's behalf.

So yah, the social media manager or marketing agency is getting paid. People organically posting because they genuinely like the service, aren't. The former would be advertising. The later not.

Can you point to any accounts you think are doing Kagi astroturfing. IE being paid to advertise with. Because now it just sounds like you're speculating.

If they aren't paying anyone is it advertising? I'm not sure what you're actually talking about anymore. Maybe I never did

[–] Steve@communick.news 3 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Should I ask them about being paid? I've been doing it for free all this time.

Sometimes people don't pay attention to the community a post is in.

[–] Steve@communick.news 2 points 4 days ago

I associate the word with money related activities

That's a good thing. It costs money to provide services to people. The Fediverse is no different.

I'm not sure they do at all. There are just a bunch of Kagi users here.

There is a difference between probably backdored, and we're not event trying to look secure anymore.

I follow topics and have discussions on Lemmy, keep up with individuals and announcements on Mastodon, and look at cool photos on Pixelfed.
None of my accounts are following anything on other systems.

The reason I'm in this community is for discussions like this. We disagree on the nature of using he fundamental architecture of the Fediverse.
I think using Mastodon to engage in Lemmy discussions is extremely awkward without the threading to keep it all organized. Equally, Lemmy is designed specifically around following communities. Following individuals on Mastodon breaks the pattern of the feed. And good luck following either Mastodon accounts or Lemmy groups in Pixelfed.

However, having multiple decentralized servers within each system, is plenty of reason for the Fediverse to be better than a centralized platform. They don't Need to interoperate with each other.
