I am happy to see nothing from the tankies.

Let the sheep stay, while we enjoy some fresh air in the fediverse.

In plain English:
"You are no longer allowed to provide us free labour."

Wake up mods!! You are working for Spez for free.

Would you recommend that some of us move to other kbin instances? Or should we stay on kbin.social to help it grow?

Thank you for all your hard work. I would like more people to discover kbin, instead of the other software developed by the tankies.

I would suggest that you censor the spammer's company name in the screen shot. They want to have more exposure and they don't deserve any.

The first rule of gaming articles/posts: you do not mention the game titles

I hate this. I understand when a for-profit company tries to do this. But too many posts hide the game titles for no reason.

Why do they move from one evil corporation to another, instead of moving to alternatives like Mastodon?

I created a magazine hoping that people who migrated from Reddit would find a new home. I intended to moderate the magazine, just to help the community grow.

It turns out there just aren't enough participants. It would be pointless if the moderator is the only person contributing to the community.

I don't see anything worth bragging about being a moderator. I do hope there is a way to "free" the magazine name so someone else can manage it.

I stopped using Facebook altogether because of that.

Reddit follows the enshittification.

yeah I can't believe the Firefox community is on lemmy.ml

Good you can add a slogan: wefwef - save your right hand for more important tasks ;-)

Honestly I like the name wefwef. It is easily searchable especially when it is not exactly easy to search things across the Fediverse.

Lots of games in Google Play Store are no longer possible to purchase because they are "incompatible with newer versions of Android".

It is not newsworthy when there is no new development. Most people don't care, they continue using Twitter, Facebook, Reddit no matter what.

We (fediverse users) are not "normal" people. And I am proud of being different.

Can't you just tell the nurse if you don't feel okay? How is that not being polite?

The term "tankie" is a slang term used to describe a person who supports or apologizes for the actions of authoritarian communist regimes, particularly those that have used tanks or military force to suppress opposition or maintain control. The term originated from the Soviet Union's use of tanks to quell protests and uprisings, most notably the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and the 1968 Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia.

While there may be varying interpretations and uses of the term, it is generally used pejoratively to criticize individuals who defend or downplay the human rights abuses, political repression, or atrocities committed by these regimes.

I think it was a reasonable response to someone wrongfully accusing me of spreading misinformation.

They could have said that my statement was incorrect/inaccurate. But they straight said I was spreading misinformation, as if I did it intentionally.

The title is very confusing. And the article is like a long essay.

Here is a summary by Chat GPT:

The web page is a blog post by a teacher who argues that most kids today can’t use computers effectively. He shares several anecdotes of students and adults who lack basic computer skills, such as troubleshooting, googling, and programming. He criticizes the education system for not teaching computer literacy and problem-solving, and he urges parents and teachers to help kids become more competent and confident with computers. He also warns that relying too much on technology can make us vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation by those who control it.

Is it illegal if I read the book, write a summary and post the summary online?

Read right here if you don't bother to click the link and see the "flimsy evidence".

Here is one of the Lemmy devs denying that the Uyghur genocide in China is happening:

https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/xq49ct/deleted_by_user/iq954mu/

"The Uyghur genocide is as real as white genocide."

Here they are again denying it:

https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/xq49ct/deleted_by_user/iq951cv/

"The holocaust was a genocide that actually happened, with all the evidence that goes along with it. There is no Uyghur genocide."

"Do you believe in anything as soon as the word "genocide" gets attached to it? What about "white genocide"? Are you a white genocide denier?"

And just so nobody can deny that parentis_shotgun is a Lemmy dev: -

"I'm one of the devs of Lemmy" https://i.imgur.com/5kp9BP0.png

Direct links to the posts will not work but still exist on the user's profile page: https://old.reddit.com/user/parentis_shotgun/ - hold PgDn until comments stop loading then Control+F. In fact feel free to peruse their history in general - it's quite interesting.

One of my favorite posts is their defense of the government of North Korea in /r/AskTankies: https://old.reddit.com/r/asktankies/comments/tb1836/okay_but_dprk_seriously/i04d1wu/

Now ask yourself why would someone who is not a Red Fascist Tankie piece of shit be answering questions on behalf of Tankies in /r/AskTankies while defending a totalitarian regime? Is it... perhaps because they're in support of such a regime because they are in fact a Tankie piece of shit?
