That’s how old I am

Fuck

When Management™️ demands the app “Do AI” because “it’s the hot new thing”

Well maybe not destroy, but alien enslavement can’t be worse than our current human led governments soooo ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Since Lemmy doesn’t suck down data like corporate social media does simply lurking doesn’t contribute to an instance’s growth.

And when you crosspost that content elsewhere, with no comments or upvoting on the original, it diminishes that instance’s power and influence just a bit and contributes to a more decentralized Lemmy-verse

We should be doing the same with .world, not because of toxic propaganda pushing admins, but just so that content is more decentralized in general. But I’m just 1 person who refuses to automate it, soo I can only do so much lmao

On Lemmy, big comms, user counts and content are an instances influence, the more you have the less others will be willing to defederate from you. Kinda why .ml can get away with so much crap

I’m cross-posting content from .ml comms to the nearest non-.ml comm as part of ongoing boycotting efforts to reduce .ml’s influence to make defederation an easier decision for admins everywhere because of the .ml admins insistence to push their Tankie ideology through various means from censorship of views critical of Authoritarian regimes such as Russia or China (and even criticism of the right-wing)to allowing propaganda outlets (such as RT) to flourish

Lol, I mean maybe, but at the same time, what kind of protest/boycott/strike grants exceptions? That would make such things powerless and pointless.

And it is publicly posted content, once you post something publicly anywhere you essentially lose control of it (with the exception of if someone is profiting off it, then you have an avenue of control).

Also, FYI, they were in that thread calling the comm a “shit comm” even though I didn’t even mod it and the sopuli instance “toxic” (I think anyways, could have been calling the comm toxic, but they never clarified)

Lol, how else do you spread awareness for something you’re passionate about if not to bring it up “whenever possible” (ofc assuming wherever possible meaning, at least tentatively related). Do you not see them doing the exact same thing with their wall of links? LMAO

Also, I just noticed the other user was banned hours ago for Voting manipulation soooo yea take that as you will lolol ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

It’s really quite simple, hamid@vegantheoryclub.org was an up and coming Tankie and was absolutely aligning their instance with the Tankie Triad.

As for why .ml is a “Tankie Instance” in general, and documentation of it, you can see the recap post

That cm lad constantly tries to bring up “.ml” out of nowhere to incite drama, and I just took a glance at their user profile and holy moly it’s almost entirely just reposting from lemmy.ml.

Lol

1. I don’t do it out of “no where” I generally stick to relevant threads

2. I have plenty of my own posts. In general, I try to aim for a 1:2 ratio, for every crosspost I post 2 articles/content that aren’t cross-posts (.ml isn’t actually all that busy lmao)

3. lemmy.ml is probably the biggest threat to the long term viability of the Lemmy-verse. It’s just so amazing(/S) to come across comments out in the wild on say Reddit that goes along the lines of “I tried that Lemmy place, but it seemed to be just a bunch of tankies/run be Tankies” because they had the misfortune to land on lemmy.ml

stop reposting their work to a certain community and telling them how it’s harmful

Yea, harmful to the .ml instance …which is kinda the whole point of a boycott, to put pressure on the target to either change their ways or fall to irrelevancy

Recap Post

Lol you shouldn’t pick online fights with people who WFH in IT 😂

I didn’t even notice, lol good riddance they were on their way to making the Tankie Triad the Tankie Quartet lmao

Now, if only we could get .ml to shutdown
