  • Have you had any bad experiences with people on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Short version? Mix and match the following:

    • Pro Xi Jinping
    • Pro Joseph Stalin
    • Pro Mao
    • Pro use of tanks against civilians as in Tiananmen Square in 1989 or Hungary in 1956.
    • Pro Vladimir Putin

    Basically a tankie is any apologists for government violence against civilians -- usually by claiming something like, "those weren't real civilians. That was a color revolution. The government of [authoritarian regime] responded with no more than the necessary amount of force. Western propaganda is making it look more violent than it was in reality."

    From Wikipedia

    The term "tankie" was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.

  • I'm a little lost myself, so take this with a grain of salt, but....

    kbin has more complete microblogging integration. I don't understand what it looks like or feels like, but here on Lemmy, I believe you can only post URLs-to and screenshots-of Mastodon posts. Not the posts themselves.

    The ActivityPub protocol underneath Mastodon and Lemmy technically supports that kind of interoperability. That's why Mastodon users can comment on Lemmy posts and on Lemmy comments. But Lemmy has not yet adopted that feature. As far as I know.

    kbin has.

    As far as I can tell by reading the Redditor's guide to how Kbin works (your what/how-to guide) over on reddit, it appears that microblogging posts can be made from within kbin.

    Which makes kbin a combination twitter/reddit. And it makes Lemmy a "reddit, but twitter users can find our posts and comment on them using their Twitter account in such a way so that they're visible even to us Lemmy users, and boost our comments and posts to their followers."

  • Just FYI, some Firefox extensions might not allow you to comment.

  • I will say that the short blackout was enough to get me onto the Fediverse. I didn't even use the apps that would be affected by the API shutdown, so I never would have noticed the controversy without the blackout.

    But once the blackout was announced, I recognized how far reddit was willing to go in service of harvesting its users' data. And after that point, I just didn't feel good on the site anymore. (Granted, I first created an account on Mastodon because the people calling for blackouts never mentioned Lemmy. But still!)

    Between Facebook's notification system repeatedly failing to direct me to comment replies, Twitter DDoSing itself, and reddit turning into the Eye of Sauron (which, again, I would not have even noticed happening were it not for the short protest), it seemed like the perfect time to exit the sinking ship of corporate social media.

    Meaning they did something. Maybe they didn't avert the reddit apocalypse, but they still did something.

  • Exactly this, yeah. Doing a little debugging.

  • Oh my god that was annoying! But yes. Now, I am okay.

    Firefox wasn't letting me comment, reply to comments, or edit my comments. I even dragged my home instance's moderator into helping me debug which I feel terrible about. (Especially because I originally described it as a federation error, only later realizing that the glitch was happening on reddthat as well as federated instances.)

    After various debugging attempts, he told me to deactivate my extensions... which I hadn't tried for some reason... and it worked instantly. My Bionic Reader Firefox extension in particular turned out being the source of the problem. And now I feel like I've wasted my mod's time trying to debug something that he had no control over, but other than that? I'm okay.

    Thanks for asking.

  • For everyone who told us that they’d never taken a single art class and they could mod this place better with their eyes closed… Well, consider this a golden opportunity! It’s going to be tricky doing it with your eyes closed ever since Reddit’s painfully botched rollout of “disability friendly” mod tools in their disasterpiece of a mobile app has caused nothing but crashes and bugs, but you seemed so confident in the many (many, many, many) times you’ve expressed this opinion that we can only assume you know something about modding that we don’t!

    Is such a fun line.

  • I feel like Reason.com is always filled with the most rational, level-headed version of libertarianism.

    No selective, Mises Institute, Dave-Rubin-style "if we just get rid of all the regulations, all the new houses will stand up on their own!" nonsense that has taken over the actual libertarian party.

    None of that. Reason is a down-to-earth, truth-to-power, news outlet accurately documenting government excesses.

    Do you think there will be a future where your phone can automatically detect if you are trying to record police activity and disables your camera? What do you think the odds of this happening is?

  • I can imagine those "support our police officers!" charities mailing out some nonsense like,

    Officers are being surveiled and monitored by foreign secret agents, MS-13, and Soros-backed Antifa groups!

    This puts our officers in danger and disrupts their attempts to serve our community. To root out crime and ensure officers' safety, we need people like you to donate so selfless officers can afford countermeasures that protect them from this dangerous surveillance.

  • Unfortunately, Brock Turner's judge was lenient to everyone -- and civil rights groups actually liked and approved of him for his lenient sentences across the board, even to minorities. Hence firing him ultimately did more harm than good.

  • My one hope is that police departments (being bureaucratic organizations) might be so slow to update to the latest camera-disabling hardware / software they they may turn out consistently one step behind.

  • Oh 100% this. The main accomplishment of Tulsa and Auburn was keeping black people impoverished, and...

    “About 60 [academic] papers show that a very common result of greater inequality is more violence, usually measured by homicide rates,” says Richard Wilkinson, author of The Spirit Level and co-founder of the Equality Trust. - source

    For as long as society insists on high inequality with one race forcefully held at the bottom, no rational person can expect that race to be peaceful.

    It's just... I have a hard time bringing this concept to the table in a debate with people who believe "personal responsibility" can somehow magically indemnify society against its impact on people.

    In fact, I am generally speechless when debating such people. It's such an alien worldview to me. How can personal responsibility actually make society irrelevant? And since when?

    The kinds of people who spout the 13-50 argument basically believe NOTHING society does can increase or decrease murder (except, when convenient, being "too soft on children" or "soft on crime.")
