It is not newsworthy when there is no new development. Most people don’t care, they continue using Twitter, Facebook, Reddit no matter what.

We (fediverse users) are not “normal” people. And I am proud of being different.

How? I feel like it might be too easy for such accounts to be created. And they already pollute the fediverse before their accounts get banned. I think this will be more common until we have more proactive measures.

We need more Fediverse users posting pictures of pomeranians, please:

You really should try it. I found it faster than some native apps.

No more users intentionally make a typo to attract karma. I remember a post become very popular because the redditor “mistyped” flashlight as fleshlight.

It is not a public service. Deals are made between companies all the time, so I don’t see how this would break the law.

A description of the community would be useful for people not having experience with your Reddit sub. And I link for those who want to subscribe.

The term “tankie” is a slang term used to describe a person who supports or apologizes for the actions of authoritarian communist regimes, particularly those that have used tanks or military force to suppress opposition or maintain control. The term originated from the Soviet Union’s use of tanks to quell protests and uprisings, most notably the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and the 1968 Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia.

While there may be varying interpretations and uses of the term, it is generally used pejoratively to criticize individuals who defend or downplay the human rights abuses, political repression, or atrocities committed by these regimes.

yeah I can’t believe the Firefox community is on lemmy.ml

I am happy to see nothing from the tankies.

Read right here if you don’t bother to click the link and see the “flimsy evidence”.

Here is one of the Lemmy devs denying that the Uyghur genocide in China is happening:

https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/xq49ct/deleted_by_user/iq954mu/

"The Uyghur genocide is as real as white genocide."

Here they are again denying it:

https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/xq49ct/deleted_by_user/iq951cv/

"The holocaust was a genocide that actually happened, with all the evidence that goes along with it. There is no Uyghur genocide."

"Do you believe in anything as soon as the word "genocide" gets attached to it? What about "white genocide"? Are you a white genocide denier?"

And just so nobody can deny that parentis_shotgun is a Lemmy dev: -

Direct links to the posts will not work but still exist on the user’s profile page: https://old.reddit.com/user/parentis_shotgun/ - hold PgDn until comments stop loading then Control+F. In fact feel free to peruse their history in general - it’s quite interesting.

One of my favorite posts is their defense of the government of North Korea in /r/AskTankies: https://old.reddit.com/r/asktankies/comments/tb1836/okay_but_dprk_seriously/i04d1wu/

Now ask yourself why would someone who is not a Red Fascist Tankie piece of shit be answering questions on behalf of Tankies in /r/AskTankies while defending a totalitarian regime? Is it… perhaps because they’re in support of such a regime because they are in fact a Tankie piece of shit?

In China, talking about TiananmenSquaremassacre1989 is LESS extreme than saying Taiwan is a country.

The CCP has brainwashed enough citizens to believe that the government did the right thing in 1989, even if you show them the massacre footage. They think the students were terrorists who deserved to be crushed.

On the other hand, most people in China believe that saying Taiwan is a country would be the biggest crime you can imagine.

I would advise you to let the experts do the job instead.

You need to protect your server from hackers, viruses, malware, and other threats that could compromise your data or harm your network. You also need to comply with the laws and regulations regarding the content and services that you host on your server. If you don’t know how to secure your server properly, you could expose yourself to legal liability or cyberattacks.

It depends on the moderators of the “magazine” (community) you are posting in. For example if you post your topic in my Pomeranians community, I might remove your post and give you the reasons for removal, but I probably won’t ban you unless you go off topic repeatedly.

Another type of banning is called “instance ban”. Instance bans are when a user is banned from an entire instance by the instance administrator. This means that the user can no longer access any of the communities or content on that instance. However, the user can still access other instances, unless they are also banned from those instances. Instance bans can be temporary or permanent, depending on the severity of the violation and the discretion of the administrator.

kbin.social instance administrators seem to be reasonable people. So I doubt that you would get banned if you follow the rules.

Lemmy.ml on the other hand…

I am going to delete my reddit account anyway. I will test their bottom line and there is nothing to lose.

Lots of games in Google Play Store are no longer possible to purchase because they are “incompatible with newer versions of Android”.

I nearly gave up trying kbin because of the confusing use of terms. I still dislike the term magazine, and I still don’t understand the difference between threads and articles. I just want to read/write posts.

Reddit has clearly shown their priorities. If they change the policies now, they only do it for the money, not for the users.

Saves me time deleting the account. Great.

Yeah I’m editing my comments manually so Reddit can’t undelete them.
