It should come as no surprise that the lemmy.ml admin team took about 2 minutes to decide to pre-emptively block threats / Meta. Their transparent and opportunistic scheme to commodify the fediverse and it’s users will not be allowed to proceed.
We strongly encourage other instance administrators to do the same, given the grave threat they pose to the fediverse.
Okay but isn’t lemmy.ml the one that’s developed by tankies…I don’t think we should be setting our moral compass so close to theirs, guys…AKA if they think something is right it’s probably wrong…
*lmao didn’t realize I was ON the tankie server, whoops my bad. What I meant to say was tankies gooood.
Lemmy.ml is hosted by the developers of Lemmy; their political views are kinda irrelevant here, I don’t think there’s a single political party that wants MORE of Metas influence in anything
you’re thinking of lemmygrad.ml.
also, there’s a difference between communists and tankies. it my not seem like a big difference to many, but under real scrutiny, tankies are typically just ultranationalists who use th virtues of communism to praise dictators and autarchs and their actions, whereas those who follow the values of communism and socialism still value things like social equality, workers’ rights, and justice.
I’m not sure where you draw the line, but you don’t have to look too hard to find self-described communists defending the actions of the current Russian government which is very confusing to me. From what I understand, that is a good description of the people who run lemmy.ml, and they have allegedly been deleting comments by users discussing the Ukraine war, so i wouldn’t be surprised if this comment is deleted.
I was pretty clear about that in my previous comment. I can clarify if you have specific questions, however.
then I suggest that you have bad information. exactly what is the source? could you please link to it?
please link to these allegations, too, please… deleted comments are typically under the purview of community moderators (who have their own political opinions), not to the instance admins. also, especially offensive comments may be removed not for the political opinions they contain but for the manner by which they are expressed… I can’t say more without knowing all the facts, so please provide the evidence of these… allegations.
Honestly, the person you’re responding to has been responsible for at least half of the shitty and downvoted comments in this thread. I’m convinced the dude is a corporate shill astroturfing at this point.
Please dont be so preasumptious. Because nazis think it is a good idea to stay hydrated it has to be bad? Please look at the problem and why they decided it and not on the political standpoints.
Here is a post of someone with concrete arguments why federating with meta could be bad: https://sopuli.xyz/comment/879382
I’m relatively new. What evidence is there to support this claim? I got the impression that lemmy.ml was supposed to be FOSS centric.
I mean, I googled it to be sure before I typed it, so I’m not sure where all these apologists are coming from…
I think you need to cite your sources… Edited: I think you are referring to this: https://lemmy.eus/post/1643 Also this: https://lemmy.eus/u/dessalines@lemmy.ml Thanks for informing me. It’s quite alarming that these members follow inherently authoritarian ideologies.
I just googled “is lemmy.ml run by tankies” “
”…and like a hundred things came up, not sure why you’re having issues.
There’s people confirming it and how they even prefer it. 🤷
