Oh I know all about that. It’s one of the reasons I enjoy clowning on tankies on lemmy.ml so hard.
Fun fact: the .ml TLD is officially designated as belonging to Mali; the lemmy devs chose it as an acronym for “Marxist-Leninist”. This caused problems very recently when Mali suddenly re-exerted control of their TLD, where previously they did not take an active hand in its management.
I’ll copy the top comment there, because it’s actually kind of important if you’re at all into web infra or self-hosting:
Using ccTLDs when you have no relationship with the country is just asking for trouble. Comes across as naive and unprofessional, although I’ve seen many serious infrastructure built upon .co and .io names.
i think the Marxist Leninist thing is disputed, It’s just a rumour and we don’t know if the devs chose it for that or they chose it because it was free on freenom
This. Unless your use/purchase directly supports something you disagree with, people shouldn’t be worried so much. Companies and organizations are huge. They are all going to contain shitty people.
If you are on the internet, you have no choice but to indirectly supporting shitty people.
If you are worried about that do actual politics, not this ‘you eat ChikFilA you monster’ type shit.0
Nothing happend at Reddit’s Frontpage on June 12, 2023. The so called “protests” is a hoax invented by the Lemmy devs attempting to discredit our wonderful platform. The “purge of moderators” never happened, not one single moderator was purged. And those who did get purged are violent rioters internet vandals. Reddit is the greatest platform ever, and Lemmy is filled with racists and spammers and ads and evil developers trying censor posts and take away user freedom. Long live CEO Spaz! May his wisdom guide us towards a better future!
where was OP judgemental? Don’t tell me you’re offended by the inclusion of the word “shit” after “nerdy”, when you just cast “nerdy” in such a bright light, and we all know only simple minds are offended by curse words. so, what was judgemental?
Bragging about blocking everything they deem nerdy IS some very judgmental vice signalling lol.
That’s why they changed it to “tech stuff”, which doesn’t even make sense when you consider that American news and politics are amongst the topics blocked 🙄
Oof. I’ve had a couple communities blocked, cause I don’t want to hear about Trump.
Then I thought “hey I’m not interested in tech, anime or furry stuff, I’ll just block related communities as they pop up”
Then I noticed that this is a never-ending endeavour on lemmy, which I wanted to meme about.
I memed badly and here we are.
Ah ok, guess I overreacted then, sorry about that… Intent and inflection can be difficult to gauge in the written words of strangers and pobody’s nerfect 🤷
Ok, so, be in their shoes, try to list all those different types of communities, effectively? They generalized, its what we do when we dont want to make a sub-scope of a complaint the focus of the complaint.
There is no hard wiring in the brain. It has plasticity, meaning it can adapt to new stimulus. Sure, learning a new language is easier for some than others, but that doesn’t mean you should give up.
