If you're wondering why I'm crossposting .ml content or for an account listing of accounts used for it, please see the bottom of this megathread

  • Could also just be a joke review, although not sure where the line is between "joke" and "troll" is, ig it's up to the individual lol

  • Is there currently an influx of bots in the Fediverse, or is it just that the usual patriotism is kicking in?

    Jump

  • Lol nah, I just crosspost .ml (see below) and it's all done by human hands, I'm just hooked into the RSS feed to deliver notifications to my phone + a good workflow

    I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.

    Megathread on the issue

    Some highlights from the link:

    .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

    "If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

    "Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

    "See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

    "NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

    General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

    And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

    I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

    On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

  • Is it bad to have a male best friend when you’re in a relationship?

    Jump

  • It's actually the opposite, it's the fastest way to find out if the relationship your building is strong and secure or if your partner is insecure and its foundation is rickety.

    The whole "You can't have guy friends because they're just trying to sleep with you" is a sexist trope anyways

    You're right, this is the first app I've seen that actually does not show a crosspost menu, the absolute irony that it's the official Lemmy android app lolol

    Maybe if I have some time this weekend I could fix it myself and see if dessalines will merge it lol

    Can I ask why you stick with Jerboa? Years ago I used it because it was the most functional at the time of the great Reddit migration, but it was so buggy I stopped using Lemmy altogether for like 2 months until Boost came out

  • their content serves mainly to broaden their reach. I don't think you're making things better.

    When I started this campaign months ago I had to go back 8-10 pages of the local .ml feed each morning for crossposting. Today, it's down to 1.5-2 pages and the bulk of that is from like 2 hardcore Tankie/.ml users (yogthos and Geneva) so I'd say it's been more helpful than bad

    Moreover, your posts are so fast and frequent that they dominate at least some of communities that you target, often leaving local subscribers without a chance to post about the relevant topics on their own. Having watched it happen for more than a few weeks, I have concluded that your posts are mostly annoying, and probably do more harm than good.

    I don't expect to convince you to stop, but would you at least consider delaying your reposts by a day, and then proceeding only if nobody in your targeted community has already posted about that topic?

    Can you give me some examples? A lot of the comms I post to I'm like the only one posting to. But there are some larger comms I feel like get a heavy hand of it, but bigger comms also have 2 or 3 alternatives across different instances

    So maybe a better solution would be to just divvy it up amongst similar comms better?

    Lol I remember the buggy mess that is Jerboa, even now I installed it fresh to login and check the crosspost for you and...it crashed and reopening it works and shows logged in but I can't do anything because apparently my account is being verified lmao

    Jerboa is essentially alpha maybe beta, and dessalines has stated he doesn't have the time to work on it between Lemmy server and Lemmy UI

  • Well sure, it's not foolproof, but the vast majority of users are probably not using the default Lemmy UI (because it kinda sucks lol) and instead are using an app or other front end.
