  • Thanks, but they're not mine, I crossposted these (among other content) as part of boycott/protesting efforts of the Lemmy․ml instance (see below)

    All OC does get tagged with the user however, this post in particular is by photographer @Fotos.photos@pixelfed.social and I believe they have more on their pixel fed page

    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.

  • Lol they are all too happy to use the evil bad western news and even Wikipedia when it supports their positions

  • Just ignore them on anything AI related, they are the polar opposite of the AI Tech Bros. Shitting on anything and everyone using AI in any form for anything

  • Lol don't feel bad, I can do advanced crazy shit with Linux like pivoting the running OS into RAM so I can unmount the boot drive to do whatever without ever rebooting

    But I still [Web Search] commands a shit ton of the time LMAO

  • They are a HilariousChaos user, long since tagged as a right-wing nut, that instance is the new right-wing "Lighter Friendlier" ExplodingHeads

  • Can confirm, I was able to save a post edit, TYSM!

  • I to am unable to edit any posts, but posting new is fine.

    Seems to be a CloudFlare issue denying the post request, here's a Ray ID for the admins if yall need to look it up in the dash 9823e4a2b845d8ce @MrKaplan@lemmy.world @lwadmin@lemmy.world

  • Sorry, a little late for you but I've adjusted the post for others who are filtering

  • Making the 2 smaller ones not touch each other or one of the small ones not touching with the big one would do it

  • Cool beans, tysm!

  • Deleted

    Sweet Jesus, Pooh!

  • Yea, shouldn't be a problem, most of the other comms are smaller, niche and slow. On top of that, I WFH so I'm generally always online or at least available to respond to notifications when awake lmao

    Also, these 3 I regularly contribute to already

  • lemmyusa.com is engaging in vote manipulation, suggest defederating unless it is addressed.

  • Oh we finally got an actual conservative instance

    HilariousChaos beat them to that, HC is basically a "Nicer Friendlier ExplodingHeads"

    Though at least HC is a real instance and not some sort of manipulation attempt

  • Nah, airlines have their planes in a complex web of routes all dependent on each other, that plane would fly regardless because after it gets (if it got there heh) to the next airport it would also prob have a route from that airport to another

  • far right communities being normalized.

    Weird, that's just the thing tankies label anyone and everything that calls them out or goes against them

    Can't imagine why they'd try to label a comm dedicated to the documentation of the authoritarianism ideology they push, the misinfo and propaganda they allow and the censorship they enforce though
