So many things I want to say, but won't because it'll probably get me banned....

So...

Thoughts and prayers!

It's always nice to get a reminder that we've always been goofy and used all the technology available to us at any given time to achieve peak goofiness lmao

Yea, +1 for defederation, clearly an attempt to make right-wing nut ideas seem more accepted on the Threadiverse than they are

There's a difference between being an asshole and being an asshole while monetizing it and corrupting the next generation.

Even the CEO guy who got Luigi'd was not as bad as Charlie Kirk in my eyes, he just made evil decisions for profit

Charlie Kirk exported his evil. Taught kids how to be evil. To be all manner of phobic. To hate. He actively worked to make the world a worse place

Fuck him

I think this chart might be a bit dated, I'm fairly certain Disney has taken full control of Hulu, not 67%

And just like that, memes evolve into their own language LMAO

FUCK

It's mostly the Tankie Triad consisting of Hexbear, Lemmygrad and .ml

I tend to focus on .ml because Hex and Grad are generally defederated from by most major instances because they are even more extreme than .ml on top of the fact that there's a perception among instances that if they defederate from dessalines' (head Lemmy dev, main .ml admin) .ml instance there will be retaliation in the form of pull back of technical support for their instance (Which, yea, I could totally see him doing that)

There are actually plenty of tankies on Reddit, but with Reddit you have to pretty much seek it out because of the massive user base

Legend goes that dessalines actually started Lemmy because their Reddit main got perm banned because he went a lil too tankie

Not gushing anymore https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c206zm81z4gt?post=asset%3A7e2f698a-fcc0-41b0-84ac-b7e01c1d6d56#post

.ml is not a reliable source of information, they routinely allow straight propaganda sources like RT and places like southfront.press or incredibly biased sources like The Grayzone

Fuck! That's what I got him to!

Going into a recession to own the libs!

"Not the main character, ignore"

What the hell did you just say about China, you bourgeois puppet? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in Marxist-Leninist dialectics, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on western propaganda outlets, and I have over 300 confirmed posts defending the PRC online. I am trained in cultural warfare and I’m the top debater on all of Lemmy.ml. You are nothing to me but just another capitalist running dog. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this platform, mark my words. You think you can get away with mocking China? Think again, imperialist. As we speak I am contacting my network of comrades across the Fediverse and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your meme. You’re done, kid. Not only am I extensively trained in denial of historical events, but I have access to the entire arsenal of Chinese state media, and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your smug western grin off the face of the internet. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little 'Tank Engine meme' was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price. I will rain essays all over you and you will drown in them. You’re absolutely finished, kiddo

Nobody is saying that they can't, mostly what you'll get is calls for defederation.

Calling for defederation is a matter of simply not accepting content or voting from the targeted instance. Everyone has the right to spin up an instance for whatever they believe, but everyone else also has the right to not pass your content through their servers or display it to their users

This isn't to call to shut them down, this is to raise awareness so people can update block lists, instance admins to investigate/check with their users/mods on what they want to do

Made this months ago for because of @[email protected]

DEATH BY SNU SNU

blindly listening to authoritarian rule

Their latest line of narrative (among the Tankie Triad in general) is that there's "no such thing as authoritarianism" and that it's entire definition was "made up by the West"

Ok yea I'm sometimes guilty of this, but in a more joking kinda way usually

Except when you're posting someone else's content that the creator clearly intended to have a cussword, e.g. a comic, and either you or where you got it from censored it for "the algorithm". That shit is annoying AF
