Thanks for reminding me. That’s clearly to throw you off and dogwhistle some more. It’s not because all lemmies look the same and this federation thing is a bit confusing sometimes.
You call other people racist, which in my book is a serious crime, and then cry about when they tell you to fuck off? What are you, 12? Or have you simply never grown up?
Stop causing drama and stop trolling me. The new ignore feature will be live in a few weeks and I can’t wait to test it on you.
I don’t even know what a “12yo p*jeet ROM” is. After a short research I found out it’s a derogatory term for people shitting in the street, who in my understanding probably don’t even have the means to create ROMs as they don’t have access to more basic infrastructure needed to piece them together. Your allegation doesn’t even make any sense.
you can’t smoke guns more than once though
Funny to see that they got banned after a few hours for being an alt-right memelord. I guess this platform wasn’t what they were looking for after all…
We can crowdfund actual advertisements/partnerships. I’d much rather see a Lemmy commercial than a NørdVPN or RAIÐ $hadovv Legendş commercial.
It is worth noting that some important features are still missing in Lemmy, particularly mod tools (we are going to implement them in the next ~12 months). There also aren’t many different instances yet.
Do that first, though. We don’t want a flood of spammers and disappointed users because the mods/admins can’t do jack shit about it.
that doesn’t hide metadata, the postal service can track it and you can trace back both the handwriting and reverse engineer the code. Someone can intercept the mail from many stations on the way, including your own post box.
I’d say that many messaging services offer more protection than that method.
You could, however, use PGP with elliptic curve cryptography, and send that via packet radio or something similar on a frequency only you know. To an uninvited person this only looks like garbage data or noise.
Way too much choice. Do you think uninformed users make the right choices? Do you think all people you interact with are capable of gathering information or even willing to think about what app to install, what server to choose etc.?
If you try Signal.org or WhatsApp.com or Telegram.org, you see that the streamlined walled garden is way easier for people to sign up to. Just count the clicks from Matrix.org until you can chat with someone compared to one of the aforementioned apps.
it’ll probably take a while
Just like everything in the Matrix universe.
This is a moot idea, when Element is not usable for people who can barely type a message and need an app for everything.
The registration process with more than “enter the code you got via SMS” is way too hard. People not literate with computers, of which there are about 95% compared to “us” literates¹, may understand the notion of “apps” and “services”.
The concepts of “accounts” and “registration” got watered down by popular apps that the law of familiarity of UX hinders adoption of nerd messengers like Matrix/Element or even the much simpler Matrix/Fluffychat. No matter how much we try to explain stuff to people, nerd tech is always way too hard to use.
The amount of time you spend into trying to convince people to use tech which is way too hard to use for them could be used to make the transition to that tech easier instead.
Go take a look at the comments today on reddit r/linux on the new RISC-V Xiangshan CPU news. 60-70% of the comments will tell you something. And it seems to be in line with the attitude towards Huawei for some random reason.
The LKML is not reddit and Wenruo is a long time Kernel contributor. Whataboutism gets you nowhere.
Are you so ignorant of the hegemonic war between USA and China, that you purposely ignore the vile statements […]
No, I also don’t like the stupid “trade war” politics and policies the US of A have imposed upon China. I don’t like the propaganda machine the US has going on. OTOH, you assume Qu Wenruo is brainwashed by Steve Bannon. You don’t even realise how ridiculous that sounds. If I was Wenruo reading your post, I’d ask you if you’re an idiot thinking that. This is about patches to the Linux Kernel, which you seem to know nothing about. I just realised your username and sighed because I wasted my time again.
This is about work culture at Huawei, not China per se. China is not Huawei and Steve Bannon certainly doesn’t have any power over the contributors mentioned in that thread. Stop these unfounded conspiracy theories and start providing proof.
nutomic banned a guy who said there’s a genocide and someone else posted said video.
seriously? can you link the thread?

other than that, idk to what extent I agree. on one hand I like certain aspects of Lemmy’s culture, linux, foss, programming, anti-capitalism, anti-corporate, privacy awareness, decentalisation, veganism, libre culture, progressive social values etc, on the other hand I don’t really like some stuff, like leftists defending putin (why? T_T ) ,being so anti-imperialism that they would call any mainstream source propaganda, turning a blind eye when it comes to China’s flaws as if it can’t possibly be wrong in any case, stuff like that.
I couldn’t agree more.
three admins are marxist-leninists, one is an anarchist and I don’t know about the other one.
Well, it’s okay if they are like this, they just should be open about it and not do arbitrary bans for haphazard reasons while at the same time pretending to be morally superior, allowing other viewpoints and following a code of conduct. Or, if they do, they should just admit it. Which would actually be fine with me. Saying “I don’t like you being in that community, so I banned you” is better than to pretend there’s a universal truth that the banned person is a baddie.
I just spent two hours or so watching a debunk video on the alleged Uyghur cultural genocide full of Chinese propaganda and researching the ‘sources’ they claimed because nutomic banned a guy who said there’s a genocide and someone else posted said video.
The Lemmy.ml main instance slowly becomes acidic and people like me will be driven away, slowly leaving the instance to extremist views. I do not see much of the Code of Conduct actually applied.
I really hoped this would be an alternative to Reddit when it turned out voat became a Nazi cesspool and other alternatives were shit technically.
I don’t know if the developers hosting any instance which is naturally seen as the ‘main’ or ‘official’ one is actually a good idea since they need to moderate it instead of making the software better. Not to say they shouldn’t, but…
Internet forums seem to be a doomed concept. The fediverse is usually so inclusive but it’s getting so large that it gets the drama and issues of other platforms.
I’m leaning veeeeeery left and I agree that you don’t talk to/with Nazis, but Lemmy.ml has fallen to the age old leftists calling other leftists not left enough. If they were as united as the world conglomerate of Nazis there would be no fascists. But they hang themselves by the nooses they threaded.
Leftists can’t agree on anything. Fascists can. That’s their superpower.
I don’t know what the solution could be. Banning all users who don’t agree with others seems excessive. Hosting the development somewhere else than a subdomain of the dev-run main instance may mitigate this a little. Not having a flagship instance may mitigate it, too. Maybe separating moderation from administration? Appointing more moderators?
I guess there’s no ideal way to do this. For me as individual the solution might be to leave Lemmy.ml and not participate. But I believe in its ideas and I don’t want to maintain yet another self hosted service.
Someone suggested self hosting lemmy, but what’s the point? I like lemmy.ml, I just don’t like that it’s becoming more radical every day and that it’s so closely affiliated with Lemmy, the software.
It hinders the software’s popularity/adoption. New instances should be created to have another cool instance, not out of spite that you don’t like the main instance.
I don’t know if it was that radical before. I thought most of the really really leftist stuff wandered to lemmygrad.ml.
Maybe having a community called ‘worldnews’ is a bit too broad. Most of the posts I see as problematic were there. On reddit they use r/anime_titties for properly moderated world news.
Sadly I believe that no moderation of a community called world news could be unbiased enough to not let it escalate.
Reddit provides a neoliberal space, Raddle/Gab/chans (4chan et al) provide a far right safe space, and Lemmy provides a safe space as well.
I think you misspelt “echo chamber” as “safe space”.
well then, we should wait for a good explanation ;)
Glad that I scrolled down and found a proper answer :) You’re right. Google might track people using Signal this way, but it doesn’t mean they have access to information they don’t already have.
Your comment includes no proper answer and no content, only an ad hominem. If you make a claim, the burden of proof is on your side of the argument, not on the responders’.
I never said they weren’t both my accounts. Stop seeing nazi ghosts and fuck off, please.
