A lot of the “less active ones” are completely dead. Many mid-tier topics (not niche, but not “meme shitpost”) have a sea of dead communities and 1-2 active ones and it’s difficult to find them without actually clicking through the full list of results.

Doesn’t this also connect to Mastodon?

Also funny how every instance seems to have furry/anime motifs. Nothing wrong with that, I am a big fan of some 80s/90s and early 2000s anime, just thought it’s funny. :)

The writing was on the wall when they started getting American VC money.

American VC culture is anthenema to truly user focused products.

How well does this work for W10?

Some of the mods explicitly mention supporting only W11, does that mean others are tested/usable on W10?

• Better on-boarding - For non-technically inclined users, Fedi can be challenging. I personally strongly oppose the “join by selecting instance” type sites. There should be an algorithm automatically signing up users based on region, refer header and perhaps some sort of random selection
• With respect to Threadi, when a user is logged in, all links to instance/communities should automatically be transformed to the “view via your instance format” (!technology@lemmy.world).
• Movement to Piefed (I am aware I am posting from a Lemmy account, this one is used for managing !hardware@lemmy.world, I used Piefed) - tankies are a major turn off for people across the globe and across the political spectrum.
• Target users who are recognize the severe dangerous of US oligarchy. More and more people are recognizing that the American model is a dead end.
• Target open source communities. I don’t understand why r/linux or r/BSD are not making a move to directing users towards Threadi

And most importantly: post, comment, upvote.

Note, I am doing some of these thing when I can.

The corrupt oligopolists have completely given up on QA; why would they bother when they don’t feel any real competitive pressure.

AFAIK, this has been happening as far back as Windows 8. I believe they had a giant pool of physical PCs (laptops, pre-builts and various popular component combinations for desktop) that they physically tested updates on, but they scrapped all of it because they know they don’t need to worry about competition.

Tapet is also good for dynamically created wallpapers.I bought it a long time ago way before the current AI hype cycle.

Then why partake in ML?

You support continued internment of Ukrainians in the occupied territories, abuse of Ukrainian children and russian genocidal imperialism.

The “don’t care about lines on the map” statement is not believable coming from someone who repeats putin’s statements about “Watzis in Ukraine!1!1”.

Why would I need to remind you about something you already know and have taken to heart? Good to see progress on this issue! One day you might even remember your ghoulish “leftist” online roleplay with a profound sense of shame and disgust. Stranger things have happened in life…

Sure you were! It’s not like tankies aren’t known to lie about Cuba being a democracy or NK being a “vanguard against imperialism”. No ma’am!

Someone claiming to have family in Ukraine supports neither Ukraine or russia. That’s very realistic! Or wait, I know, you support the DNR not russia ;), got you tankie!

Yes, pushing russian narratives about Ukraine is supporting putin.

You’ve never lived in Ukraine (Donbas or otherwise) or even russia and the whole “Nazis in Ukraine” pitch is just cover for your disgusting commie belief in the extermination of undesirable ethnicities (who in your view don’t submit to your messed up understanding communism).

You think Ukrainians don’t have a right to self determination and you have the gall to say you oppose the war?

Don’t play with dumb with me tankie!

I don’t support Ukraine

Thank you for proving my point (once again) about tankies supporting extermination of Ukrainian culture/identity/language and continued internment of tens of thousands of Ukrainians in the occupied territories (and mass discrimination and prosecution).

You even openly admit that you support putin’s “de-nazifiction of Ukraine” rhetoric.

You most definitely do not “oppose the war entirely”. Rejection of self determination for Ukrainians (and the right to speak in Ukrainian) is support for the russian invasion of Ukraine.

lemmy.ml is predominantly socialist.

Saying ML is socialist (which it’s not, it’s a tankie instance) is de facto discrediting socialism.

It’s like saying that socialists oppose any criticism of russia and china (authoritarian, imperialist, hyper-capitalist oligarchic countries that have nothing to do with socialism) and socialist only read Russia Today.

Congrats! You went on an American eurotrip in your youth. And you know a few people who were born in the USSR on Lemmy (does that include me)?

If you know so much about the USSR, can you tell me which professions were (outside of being a party goons) considered profitable and why? Wikipedia answers aren’t going to cut it. Something that shows basic knowledge on this issue without web searching. Indulge me, lil commie bro!

Yes, meat was widely available in the USSR and common access was not limited to well-connected individuals and party goons! What a great life!

The Holodomor never happened and it was CIA psyop! The CIA made a time machine to travel back in time and discredit comrade Stalin! I see. My great grandmother was a time travelling CIA agent working to discredit communism!

Local language education was definitely not suppressed and cultural group of occupied nations weren’t prosecuted! You could make movies in your language and vote to have education be primarily in your own language, right? You could even vote leave the USSR since it wasn’t an occupation!

The real irony is that even the russians don’t believe in your cointelpro and counter-revolutionary gibberish (wrt Czechia and Hungary). They are lucid enough to understand that it was matter of imperialism and ethno-national supremacism.

No one buys your tankie gibberish!

I said it before (in this thread) and I will say it again:

ML are basically on par with Nazis; full endorsement of extermination of national identity/language/culture of “bad” ethnicities, support for russian Lebensraum, support for mass internment camps for “bad” ethnicities.

Dessalines, an American, has never lived in Ukraine or russia, doesn’t speak Ukrainian or russian and yet he comes up with bullshit like “putin just wants to show he means business” or “war is war, civilian casualties are fine [as long as it’s Ukrainians]”.

You never had any friends from Hungary or Czesh Republic, you’ve never been there.

The USSR was total trash. Abject poverty, genocidal extermination of the cultrue and language of occupied nations, KGB goons in universities and a corrupt leadership that makes the current oligarch/criminal look like good guys. You’ve likely never met anyone who lived in the USSR.

Thank you for proving my point!

Lol, this is the most stereotypical tankie gibberish there is.

I’ve used vibe coding in a project where the coding part was small (20% of the total project, with the complex stuff being the remaining 80%) and it had relatively straightforward workflow that could be tested and accounted for without strange edge cases.

It’s not only nepo/conmen types who use vibe coding.

Please indulge me, my well educated friend.

Ah I see. I didn’t realize a censure had a technical component. That being said, by this point not much would be lost with a defederation from ML.

Still a mere two hesitations and tons of endorsements (including DB0).

ML are basically on par with Nazis; full endorsement of extermination of national identity/language/culture of “bad” ethnicities, support for russian Lebensraum, support for mass internment camps for “bad” ethnicities.

Sure, they deny this, but from memory all of the Nazis at Nuremberg pleaded not guilty.

Interesting tool.

How is that ML only has two censures:

ML is a tankie instance.

Also fascinating to see DB0 giving an endorsement to ML. Not surprising though.
