By and large you'll see barriers to business and investment giving elites an unfair advantage in any capitalist system, but even in the mythical free-market where no one has any election rigging, regulatory capture, or market manipulation, capitalism is still a gambling casino of an economy. And the random winners will use their winnings to destroy the free market that ensured their success.
So free-market capitalism seems noble, because it is an appealing lie they want you to believe, so that you'll let them screw everyone over. It's inherently self-destructive behavior. If you argue for free market capitalism, you're no different than someone arguing for everyone to be blindfolded so that no one can take advantage of their ability to see.
We have instancewide admin blocks, so the accounts that would be automatically reported can be blocked preemptively, no report needed. That can be both good and bad... but pick a sheltered instance and you shouldn't get harassed. How would automatic reporting even work? I don't recall, but doesn't the admin interface let you specify keywords that alert the admins in a post? Is that what you mean?
progressivecafe.social is uh... an interesting instance. Everyone on there is a Marvel superhero, and they all have the same... unflinching Democratic Party loyalty. Like, Doonesbury looks like a left wing radical compared to them. Massive sock puppetry is suspected. Just a warning.
what happens to car companies when people have enough cars and how many cars to people need? They painted them different colors so people will always want the latest one, from what I heard.
To be fair I wasn't talking to you, or replying to anything you said. It's fine if you don't care about how Nazis slaughtered anarchists, but I kind of don't want to get slaughtered, so I do care about it, just a teeny little bit.

cyYes, voluntary hierarchy is unanarchistic. Classic example is the Nazi Party in Germany, who designed a very effective and efficient machine of screaming madness that slaughtered anarchists and innocents alike. They didn't force the anarchists to obey their hierarchy. They just killed them. Even if every Nazi was wholeheartedly in support of their leader and their obedience, and most of them were, it's still an existential threat to anyone who's not part of the cult.
But even on a purely abstract basis, voluntary hierarchy is unanarchic, because anarchy means "not hierarchy," and unanarchy means "not not hierarchy." Hierarchies can absolutely exist in anarchy, whether they literally gun down anarchists or not, but they are not anarchic. The more hierarchy, the less anarchy, of that specific group. Anarchists could be educating women next door, and they wouldn't cease to exist just because they were in the other room adjacent to the "obey your betters" club.
Yeah I'm just being me. Will delete if offensive. It is the case that something absolutely everyone does is also something absolutely everyone in a specific group does. It just doesn't distinguish that group from anyone else, and manufacturing conflict is all about distinguishment.
Just another tragedy... get abortions please, I don't care what the law says. Who's going to take care of you in your old age, if you get sterilized young? No one, that's who.
