cm0002@lemmy.worldOPto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•Lemmy.ml continues to allow misinfo/propaganda sites "articles" so long as it's Russia-aligned/anti-west while removing good credible news sources. Instances that federate with them help their spreadEnglish18·16 hours ago.world has not defederated from Lemmy.ml, I really wish they would, being the largest it would be of huge boost to the health of the Threadiverse
But the others are Hexbear and Lemmygrad (if you wanna see some of the things they say, check this thread out (viewed as a local post outside your client) https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/48132283)

cm0002@lemmy.worldOPto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•Davel, .ml admin: "Comrade there is no censorship in Beijing! Everyone is happy! Taiwan has their own culture? NONSENSE this is all just misinformation! REMOVED!"English20·21 hours agoThat’s just what the .ml admins do, check out the megathread
Any criticism of them, their instance, the triad, their stances, preferred sources or their favored authoritarian regimes are generally removed.
And, as a cherry on top, they’ll turn around and criticize other instances like .world or SJW as the ones who censor “wrong think” or censor criticism of the instance lol
That doesn’t sound unusual, it’s probably the heat they wanted

Don’t fucking give them any ideas
cm0002@lemmy.worldOPto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•.ml world "news" continuing to be an excellent source of journalism and definitely NOT contributing to the spread of Putin talking points!/sEnglish3·1 day agoYea, for the most part, but it’s still fully federated so you’ll still be part of the Threadiverse and will be able to fully see and interact with all of Lemmy’s content and users without issues
But, on PieFed, at least block means block, blocking lemmy.ml or any other instance on PieFed blocks comms and users alike and blocking an individual user on PieFed means they won’t be seeing any of your comments or posts. So none of this mute BS on Lemmy where problematic users can still brigade your content and comment “behind your back” on your posts/comments without your knowledge

Also, it’s a basement well window, I have one of these as well. So OP would be standing on the side of the window in his house and the pinecone is on the other side in the fire escape well
Think of it like looking into a really big terrarium

But now I kinda wanna see if I can hijack this monitoring it does and fake 100% volume to the application at all times…hmm welp to the mile long project list it goes!

Hey, anyways I still haven’t gotten my paycheck, do you have the number for CIA HR?
Try to pivot to contract/consulting IT work, it’s more of a PITA because you have to take care of things like health insurance on your own, but it might be a tad easier to pick up work that way since companies are always more willing to drop a grand or 2 here and there over hiring someone that needs commitment, benefits, support, training etc.
This comm really exists for more documentation purposes, though the occasional meme and justifiable “poke the bear” post comes along from time to time
These kinds of posts would probably be better suited for the designated Tankie dunking comm !tankiejerk@lemmy.world id say

Many block .ml comms as well as it being under a boycott. It’s also why I crossposted it
The below will explain why:
Why am I cross-posting .ml?
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 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 niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"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
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 - CW: Original transphobic Comment from Nutomic
“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
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
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.
Looks like davel removed it, but no bans yet, but they do this thing a lot where davel removes content and dessalines comes hours later and bans the actual user. So it’ll probably still come LMAO
I’m hoping that !meshtastic@mander.xyz will need to a rebirth of that sort lol
