nossa, recebi notificação por email da sua mensagem, fiquei procurando na conta nova e não achei, só agora que vi que foi pra conta velha (que vai fechar no fim do ano)
no GNU social, software de rede social que roda nos servidores que uso, o botão de responder tem esse efeito: não marca ninguém, a mensagem só vai pra quem me acompanha, pra quem tinha mandado a mensagem à qual respondi e (se entendo direito) pra quem iniciou a conversa
na versão que roda no gnusocial.jp, tem um outro botão, que me parece análogo ao "responder para todos" do email, que marca todo mundo que participou da conversa explicitamente.
imagino que outras interfaces façam diferente. não sei, minha experiência é só com GNU social mesmo.
a pergunta é só por curiosidade, ou essa diferença de comportamento causa alguma dificuldade ou incômodo pra você? -

aquele círculo azul com estrelinhas onde fica a faixa "ordem e progresso" é aro 14 ou 15? :-) -

we probably read the same book indeed, but I read it under the light of what I learned from varoufakis about the nature of feudalism that has become dominant in technofeudalism. I've observed that in various ways it was already there. it's not that lenin called it feudalism, he called it monopolies, imperialism, but the key aspect of feudalism (according to my understanding of what I heard varoufakis say in a few speeches and interviews; I'm yet to read the book about it) were clearly (to me) dominating and swallowing the notion of rent-free capitalism that adam smith and his peers wrote about and defended. there's certainly some autistic separation of concepts going on here, but I'm growing convinced that this separation is useful for historical-materialism analysis of past and present, even more so because I keep finding more and more of those key concepts in the literature, though often using different terms. (but I'm not very much bound by terms; I don't read these things in all languages I speak, so I invariably come up with my own translations, and they don't match the official translations in the literature. people often make the mistake of assuming that this means I don't grasp the concepts, or even that I haven't read; words, as surface representations, are more fluid in my mind, concepts are the harder core) -

... understanding the opposition between big capital (feudal lords) and small enterpreneurs (capitalist-wannabe proletariat), and how big capital exploits and seduces small enterpreneurs with a dream that's about as unachievable for them as it is for any other members of the worker class, was an insight that I was missing before, and this way of looking at big capital as a chimera of feudal lords with the prototypical top-hatted capitalists helped me see and understand some historical and economic processes that seemed a little off to be before it. now, it's clear to me that the literature covers that and understand that, much better than I do, so to me in the end it was sort of a matter of nomenclature, of rearranging my mental symbols to match the language that others use, while I phase out my own old even more limited understandings and conceptual framework. but what if this notion turns out to be useful to others? highlighting the rent-seeking behaviors that varoufakis drew my attention to, that have been present since the inception of capitalism, at first as something that scholars were very critical to, but that later came to be perceived as part of capitalism, seems far more of a break and fundamental corruption of capitalism than ML literature seems to give it credit for, even if only as an idealized mental model. disagree as you wish, but it works for me; I'll probably have to write a book about it some day ;-) -

I've just read it, and it was reading it that I sort of confirmed my theory, as more and more facts I wasn't aware of that he pointed out fit it perfectly. but it's not like a significant change in doctrine, it's just a different way of understanding big capital: it has *always* been feudal, in the sense that it doesn't really produce anything, it's just rent extraction in disguise. capitalism was born and defended on rent-free grounds, but it had the seeds for regrowth of feudalism at its very top from the beginning, because the prototypical big capitalists, those who only invest and extract and reinvest capital (contrasting with the small capitalists, that need to work in their own small businesses and get exploited by the big ones about as much as other workers) are essentially feudal lords in at least some aspects of their power and rent extraction.
so I've come to the conclusion that feudalism fought back and swallowed capitalism, and lenin describes how that happened for the first time. now I need to study later history to understand how anti-trust law and regulations came to be and to restore some competition for a few decades after WWII, but then feudalism swallowed capitalism all over again. I'm not sure whether it's cyclic (it could be one of the economic cycles that marx wrote about), or a structure that feudal lords could consider retaining indefinitely like soldier boots on our faces forever, but... (TBC) -

oh, no, sorry, I was unclear. I just meant that it has been taking me so long to set up my own instance that I'm not confident I'd be ready in time, so I am moving to a new third-party instance instead of rushing it -

I've long entertained the notion of running my own instance, but I've been too slow to set it up, and I don't wish to wait till the last minute :-( -
