Port knocking is mostly a bad idea.

Good thing there's Single Packet Authorization then.

That entire cesspool is astroturfed to the gills for shitbag establishment Democrats, I hear the Gavin 🤢 Newsom 🤢 posts have been wall-to-wall over there for a while now

yes yes, the Daily Mail is awful, but you have to admit they have a knack for roasting shark-eyed soulless narcissist climbers like Jessica Mah (and apparently also like every single fucking person she surrounds herself with): https://archive.ph/263Z3

The DNC can eat shit and die. 🙂

“Everything is coming together for Larry Ellison,” Ryan Grim and Murtaza Hussain write in the latest investigation for Drop Site.

The billionaire co-founder of Oracle, on-and-off-again richest man in the world, and a staunch supporter of Israel, is set to take a lead role in reshaping TikTok in the United States. His son, David, is moving to take over large swaths of the media, including CBS News, CNN, Warner Brothers, and Paramount and, per breaking news from Puck on Thursday afternoon, will bring in the Free Press’s Bari Weiss as Editor-in-Chief.

It’s 100% a porn ban

It's 100% a play to have positive ID on every single user of megacorp sites so they can be surveilled and controlled.

The people of Palestine have a right to armed resistance against those who would exterminate them.

literally just fix bugs

The solution is the same now as it was a year ago: stop participating in .world communities and start contributing your energy to the equivalent communities elsewhere. The entire point of federated threaded discussion boards is to be able to route around damage (or dipshits).

I mean they did anally rape the guy with a knife and curbstomp him in the chest, soooo the optics are not great.

These people are every bit as bad as the Nazis and all one has to do to see the truth is listen to them in their own words 🤷

To anybody concerned: don't engage with .world communities. Instead, bring your traffic to similar communities on other instances. The ability to do this is one of the main points of federation, and .world with its shitty moderation holds way too much sway in the (let's be honest) still-tiny threadiverse.

It's easiest to do this, on Lemmy at least, by blocking .world as an instance. Doing so won't block .world users commenting elsewhere, although when Lemmy 1.0 ships you'll have that option too. But blocking .world forces you to build a vibrant thriving threadiverse elsewhere without a too-large and too-problematic instance siphoning away any of your traffic and growing even larger as a result. I do this, and I don't feel I'm missing out by doing so.

The Democrat party once again performing its true function as a diversion pipe to dump energy which should go to building a real opposition party directly down the drain. They selected a subset of liars & scumbags who are retiring and/or are not up for re-election next round to get the job done. The fecklessness and worthlessness of the Democrat party couldn't be any clearer, it's on full display right here, right now. Read their statements in the article. Every one of these pieces of shit needs to be purged.

Now watch as the GOP reneges on its "promise" to hold a "vote" on the health care subsidies in due time.

Ron found it appropriate to vote to send Israel a bottomless supply of weapons funded by the American taxpayer within the last two weeks. I'll never vote for him again. It's time for him to go.

Maybe he can go live in Israel, where he has citizenship, and fit right in with those like him.

A few weeks ago I went on a wiki dive about some pedo shit that happened in broad daylight in the USA in the 1970s and was only solved after it got so fucking egregious the cops could no longer ignore it / write off all the dead kids as "runaways" and not investigate, and holy mother of jebus I can see why some people would believe in shit like Pizzagate after reading about shit that literally did happen in this country in living memory.

Start point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Corll ... and this is only the start point, it branches out from there into major conspiracy involving dozens of motherfuckers who mostly got slaps on the wrist if any punishment at all

TW: extreme depravity + proof positive that life was cheap as fuck in America only 50 years ago

existing as a "consumer" in the "American market" is so fucking tiresome

.world is the reddit of the threadiverse

I tried this once and it did in fact work.

As somebody who's been on the microblogging side of fedi for nearly 6 years, and who dicks around running a couple tiny instances and is chummy with a couple other sysops - I am 100% aboard the "will never federate with Meta, and may defederate with others who do, depending on how this goes" train.

Netsplits suck. But Meta is pure cancer, and sometimes amputation is necessary.
