It is sad that the lead Lemmy developer is such a terrible person, Lemmy itself is pretty great.
I am concerned about what makes it to the hot “all” page since the last update though.
Says you, the mod that regularly removes posts for the remotest suggestive violence against a man who is so deprived of any human decency he is the most violent indirect machine gun of our modern era, killing and displacing hundreds if not thousands daily with taxpayer money. And guys like you with your hands waving up and down “calm calm now people, there may be a moment and time for a violent overthrow of this guy, but that moment isn’t now and that place isn’t here”
Pardon my French, but in my book you’re on the same level as the Lemmy devs.
We can have a discussion about that. Here is my reasoning, since if you look at any of my posts, I really don’t like the man.
- I won’t let anyone call for violence for anyone
- Calling for violence is a fools errand. Violence against him will get you killed at best, but might get other people killed as well.
- If you think it can be done, don’t encourage it, but do it yourself.
- LA only was violent against a few waymos and a couple of cop cars. That saved their asses from a military take over and many, many people being killed.
You can disagree with the above. If you notice, I don’t ban people unless they get super trolling about the removal of the comment.
Good god, it’s worse than I thought.
There’s not really any discussion necessary. The more depraved he gets, the more you’ll look like an enabler. Certainly with those straw man arguments.
A mod has to keep the community they mod safe, and to an extent keep the top level posts and comments on topic. Nobody elected you and you are actively censoring. Like RT, Fox, and Chinese state television.
- If you think it can be done, don’t encourage it, but do it yourself.
TIL the censoring mod on Lemmy is against assembly or group revolution, but doesn’t mind snipers taking a shot. K.
What? I’m saying it’s super easy to encourage violence for others to do, but sit safe in your home while you watch the world burn. I think you might have lost the plot.
Mate, not everyone is in the US. Due to a hiccup in globalisation, elections over there have no integrity and a child pedophile has been tearing down stuff which affects the whole fucking world.
If I was there, I wouldn’t hesitate a second to rise a mob against him, but I’m not, and I obviously will never be. Some of us can only support possible violence from a distance.
Anyway, you’re already at the name calling stage, so I’m not going to change your mind, just know each time you’re “not banning” someone, you’re still reducing the online appearance of dissent and therefore making it look like people are okay with his bullcrap. You are painting and coercing a picture, and that picture is regime friendly.

Why aren’t you flying here and doing something about it? I mean it, it effects you. Last comment.
Historically you have had an extremely loose definition of a “call for violence”.
I understand where they are coming from.
Historically?
Your past record.
Its late, I’m tired, you get what you get.
Lol, have a good night.
Oh? Anything specific that you have noted?
I didn’t have to look for things before the update, now I have to actually go to certain communities to find new posts. None of my community’s posts have a chance to make it to all anymore. Before, one or two would sneak in. I don’t really care about that for my community, but it concerns me that it seems to be curated. It makes me wonder what else is being blocked.
Bro, Russia, under the banner of USSR, tried to coerce China into joining USSR and effectively becoming a puppet state, losing sovereignty. They brought up the topic of WW2 “aid” they provided during the war of resistance against Japanese Imperialism, and demanded repayment because of the worsening relationships (aka: “Sino-Soviet Split”), there were talks (rumors?) of imminent invasion, so PRC had to do nuclear tests to scare them off. A lot of resources like apples, for example, were sent over the border I guess as sort of “repaying debts”(?) in the meantime as diplomacy continued.
This was an account of events told by my father who was living in China at the time; while the West and USSR had a Cold War, there was another cold war between the Soviets and China.
If China didn’t finish developing the nuke, I’m pretty sure Soviets would’ve invaded.
Like… imperialism isn’t just a East vs West, Capitalist vs Communist thing, they even do that to their own (former) allies.
As much I dislike CCP, I’m kinda glad they managed to finish developing the nuke to deter Soviet aggression, more balance in the world and that Asia didn’t get entirely gobbled up by Soviets.
(Although I do wonder, what would a Soviet-Occupied China look like? Probably even worse suffering than current timeline? Idk…)
Yeah, Ukraine should never have given up their nukes, but hindsight is 20/20. Would have been a lot easier to tell putler to fuck off now.
Also, I imagine China would have just been transformed into a bunch of disjointed regions and the population reshuffled all over the USSR, like they did with most other non-russian ethnicities ever since the actual empire era.
Yeah, Ukraine should never have given up their nukes
Ukraine was under a Russian friendly government when it return weapons on loan from Russia to the Russians. This was an agreement lobbied for by the US as part of a condition for Ukraine joining Western economic trade.
This was never a choice in any material sense. No more than the Cubans giving back the missiles they had staged during the Kennedy crisis (or Turkiye giving back their Jupiter missiles in turn).
Also, nukes are expensive to maintain. Ukraine simply didn’t have the resources to do that.
Quite possibly, Russia didn’t either, but they tried.
Not only that, but they didn’t have the launch codes, as those were kept in Russia. History Matters made a lovely little educational cartoon on the subject. Honestly, wish Ukraine held out for an official guarantee of independence instead of just aid money, but who knows if even that would have been honoured today.
I’m honestly surprised China hasn’t “invaded” Ukraine. Not to fight, or take territory. Just to sit on the border and defend. While at the same time sending a very public message to putin. Back off, or fight us, and start a war with China.
Now after having their military shredded down over the last 3 years, russia doesn’t have the resources to fight China. But putin’s ego won’t let him back down. So now russia engages Ukraine, and in doing so, starts a war with China.
China then steamrolls russia and just takes all their land. You’d have a fresh modern military that hasn’t had it’s military fighting for years, vs a worn down depleted hanging on by a thread military that’s also full of corruption and rot from the inside. A military that had to cancel a parade last year because they didn’t physically have the tanks.
It would essentially be free real estate for China to take. The united states wouldn’t try to get involved directly in their war. Because it’s still two nuclear armed militaries. Russia wouldn’t nuke China, because 1) their own nukes probably don’t work, but that info only becomes available if you attempt to use them, and 2) it would prompt a swift nuclear reaction from China.
And China isn’t going to nuke russia because 1) They can’t innitiate the nuking and still be supported by outside nations as “the good guy” (and China would be trying to push that narrative HARD), 2) China in general is very anti-nuke. It’s not in their nature to use that unless it’s a last resort, and 3) They don’t have to. Take nukes off the table, and I think China today EASILY steamrolls through Russia in about a month.
So I don’t get why China doesn’t put defensive armys inside Ukraines borders. Then wait to get attacked as a premeditation for going to war with Russia. Then taking huge chunks of land.
China is supplying Russia with material aid during this conflict - they get to profit from the war while russia collapses economically plus continue their economic and political war with Europe practically unopposed (the US dropped out and Russia isn’t really in good shape to be compeition anymore) and all without having to address the issue of the millions of refugees nor the logistics of maintaining an occupying force in the largest least hospitable country in the world.
Something something land war in Asia.
The CCP is a lot of things, but they ain’t dumb.
Over expansion, language issues and russians would be a hard population to control like they do China? Those are my guesses.
“This is discrimination of the worst kind: the kind against me!” - What Dessalines thinks everytime he bans someone with “Resson: Rule 1.”
I blocked the OP of that post shortly after they made their account. They basically post a daily or near daily mix of propaganda articles and propaganda memes with a few normal memes sprinkled in to look normal I guess. I’ve noticed that with a few of the popular .ml posters.

Yes, this is surely very unbiased.
/s
I blocked that idiot after seeing just 1 comment and checking their history.
Wait, if dessalines is the main lemmy dev, who is nutomic? I’ve heard many things about nutomic, who is the user credited on the github. Are they different people or one person with two names?
Nutomic is like the second in command and word around the cooler is hes the one that does the bulk of the coding work. They definitely have shared values, with the exception of his transphobia.
He doesn’t do a whole lot as far as admining .ml goes so isn’t featured as much or ever actually now that I think about it
I heard before that instance bans make it so that the users can’t see my posts and comments made after the ban even on other instances communities. Is this true? Or was it just wild speculation from years ago when nobody knew how ~king crimson~ lemmy worked?
If you’ve been site banned from .ml, then .ml users will not be able to see you. There is also a way to site-ban a user in a way that they also won’t be able to see your content prior to the ban issuance as well. Called a siteban with purge
Why didn’t I do this years ago.
Probably because I don’t actually care enough to go through with the effort.
