Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It’s been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let’s say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they’re what’s colloquially referred to...

it’s easy to be communist of you only touched it online

This is almost certainly the case, these kids read about the ideals of communism and think it sounds great, and they know about how things are in the USA and think that’s bad. Two fair assessments, but they then deduce that the because capitalist America is bad, then Soviet Russia “communist” China must be good, ignoring the fact that every person who survived/escaped those reigemes described them as hell.

FozzyOsbourne ,

Are you new here? “Threadiverse” has been used to refer to thread-based fediverse technologies that use threaded comments since before Zuck’s “threads” was even announced!

FozzyOsbourne ,

Are you referring to any news stories in particular? Because the only big one I recall recently was the xz backdoor which took three years of social engineering to get in and was detected and patched within a couple of weeks!

FozzyOsbourne ,

I did one so bad once that they had to call a priest

FozzyOsbourne ,

Have you tried it with a randomiser? Would recommend if you haven’t!

FozzyOsbourne ,

otherwise trans women would be downing soy milk like there was no tomorrow

This is the classic counter-argument to so many superstitions and conspiracy theories. Storms are punishment from God for your homosexuality? Oh great, let’s organise a big gay orgy everywhere there’s a drought! Crystals can heal you and ghosts can tell you secrets from beyond the grave? Brilliant, every military and intelligence agency is going to invest heavily changing warfare and espionage immediately!

FozzyOsbourne ,

I’ve not put mine away since

FozzyOsbourne ,

If you liked the guy who murders a load of civilians in like the second episode then I don’t think you can pretend it’s because he’s handsome!

FozzyOsbourne ,

That’s a bollard, not a lamp post

FozzyOsbourne OP ,

Open-minded, permissive, tolerant

FozzyOsbourne OP ,

I am not, and I’ve observed that every American seems to have their own definition of what “liberal” means, which is not really very helpful when trying to use the word in a discussion

FozzyOsbourne OP ,

My thoughts exactly! Every real-life human I’ve ever spoken to uses it to mean open-minded and every definition I look up agrees, yet for some reason half the people posting here think it exclusively means economically-neo-liberal capitalist.

FozzyOsbourne OP ,

That seems like one very specific definition specifically for economically-neo-liberal, only mentioned below all the actual definitions

FozzyOsbourne OP ,

OK, but that’s not what the word liberal actually means to most people in my experience. Or perhaps another way of saying it is that a lot of people I see getting angry on Lemmy read the word “liberal” and assume economically liberal, whereas every person I’ve ever encountered IRL would use it to mean socially liberal.

FozzyOsbourne OP ,

You’re correct, I specified “American republicans” to refer to the political party because everywhere else “republican” means anti-monarchist

FozzyOsbourne ,

No it’s a real island, the porn was actually filmed there!

FozzyOsbourne ,

They don’t all have to be shots of spirits, adjust your drink based on how smashed you’re planning on getting. I played shot chess a few years ago, the pawns were beer, the other pieces were different drinks increasing in strength up to the king which was absinthe.

FozzyOsbourne ,

Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?

FozzyOsbourne ,

Laserdisc worms

FozzyOsbourne ,

Worst person, best character

FozzyOsbourne ,

These plebs can’t even tell their synthwave from their vapourwave, disgraceful

FozzyOsbourne ,

Isn’t this the story of every rural area in every country? Communities that are out in the middle of nowhere won’t have had much cultural exchange and tend to become insular.

FozzyOsbourne ,

If I know anything about lemmy users, it’s that they’re goddamn idiots and can never tell if something is a joke.

Users everywhere, we are not special

Ursanus

You had one job!

FozzyOsbourne ,

Mars isn’t even red, it’s sort of brown

FozzyOsbourne ,

Thanks for doodling over the letters U and C for me OP, my delicate eyes almost saw a naughty word!

FozzyOsbourne ,

Are you claiming that an alloy isn’t a metal?

FozzyOsbourne ,

Never heard that before, what’s the reasoning? Given that they contain metallic elements, have metallic properties, have metallic bonds, and many are colloquially referred to as metals, what makes you think they aren’t metals?

FozzyOsbourne ,

Ah yeah of course it’s not an element, though I don’t think the original post was about the best elemental metal

FozzyOsbourne ,

Is speed dating still a thing?

FozzyOsbourne ,

The kind of people who slut-shame are probably not that progressive towards gay men either

FozzyOsbourne ,

Perfect for !foodcrimes

FozzyOsbourne ,

gms/kg

That doesn’t look right

lb

Ugh, at least I’ve heard of that

quart

Was this chart made by a mediaeval apothecary?

cylinder

Alright, what the fuck‽

FozzyOsbourne ,

I’m guessing a fifth is like a fifth of a gallon, but handles‽

FozzyOsbourne ,

Seems like a perfectly cromulent unit of measurement

FozzyOsbourne ,

Why are you still seeing ads in mobile games?

FozzyOsbourne ,

Too many people can’t get out of the us vs them mindset. They think it’s OK to wish horrors on the enemy because the enemy is evil and they are good, ignoring the fact that the enemy feels the same way about them.

FozzyOsbourne ,

I know all of us have these same feelings

Na mate, I think you need to chill out a bit

FozzyOsbourne ,

In your country perhaps, cats aren’t a problem everywhere. Even the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds maintain that cats are not a major cause of bird decline (in Britain).

FozzyOsbourne ,

Well the RSPB shockingly are quite against hunting animals, who’d have thought it? And careful throwing stones from your glass house, didn’t your lot hunt the bison almost to extinction the moment they landed?

FozzyOsbourne ,

I love seeing a shitpost evolve from being shit to being actually kind of good

FozzyOsbourne ,

Good to go in the bin, yes

FozzyOsbourne ,

They usually see London and Paris when looking for monuments to destroy

FozzyOsbourne ,

It’s kind of an important typo when it flips the entire meaning of the comment!

FozzyOsbourne ,

Why would the American government ban companies based under their own jurisdiction? They can make use of all those other companies just like the Chinese government can make use of TikTok.

FozzyOsbourne ,

Same thing to a lot of nationalists

FozzyOsbourne ,

Because we’re not children whose precious eyes need shielding from the big scary word
