Lol I asked that awhile back and the general consensus was "It's a whatever comm, post your heart just don't spam"

O.M.G.! A built-in reminder bot??

The Boost dev confirmed he was working on PieFed support the other day and now I definitely can't wait to move over! LMAO

Just crossposting from .ml as always lol, I have started posting to !privacy@programming.dev, but in this case when I did my run through it was already crossposted there, so I just went to the next one

I mean, afterall, what could be better than having 2 privacy comms beating the .ml version 😂

😏

Thanks, I knew I was forgetting something LMAO

Bruh, why are you so rude?

Lol it had found its way (via a different user) to the .ml meme comm where I picked it up for cross-posting. But yea, already upvoted there since it was on !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

!tacobell@lemmy.world

That's not actually that simple of a question, so don't feel bad lol

It's not a code issue, but Lemmy is written in Rust and while being a pretty decent language, it is also a bit of a difficult one to master. So there's just not a whole lot of open source capable Rust devs out there who can take on such a commitment. If Lemmy had been written in any number of popular languages, like JavaScript, C#, Python etc it probably would have been forked awhile ago just because of the .ml issues

If it's a Lemmy specific issue, why is being federated with .ml more important than the health of the wider verse?

There are a few reasons that crop up, 1) .ml still has some very niche comms that haven't been created elsewhere and heavyish traffic (which I hope to fix with the boycotting) and 2) if an instance "burns the bridge" there's concern that dessalines would take it personally and be less likely to help an instance admin on technical issues

Many think that migrating to PieFed long term will be the way forward which is an alternative to Lemmy without any political baggage. That or someone rewrites Lemmy in a more opensource friendly language and then it can be a drop in replacement for instance admins lol

But yea, there's concern that this Tankie culture they cultivate as currently preventing wider uptake and damaging the outside rep of the Threadiverse

Welcome! This comm serves as a place for documentation of tankies on the Threadiverse. My megathread here has a slightly longer intro

But, in a nutshell, lemmy.ml is one of 3 instances that are mostly run by Tankies (Those who simp for authoritarian governments that merely claim to be communistic (China/NK) or otherwise "fighting against the evil west" (Russia)) known as the "Tankie Triad". So they'll do things like spread the Russian narrative that Ukraine is "full of Nazis".

They'll also censor you (and later, ban) if you post things they deem to be against their "ideology" under one of 2 instance "catch-all" rules. Rule 1 - "No Bigotry" or Rule 2 - "Be respectful.

Yours got censored under catchall rule 1, no bigotry.

The unfortunate problem with .ml is that it also has the notoriety as being the "dev run instance " as well, so most instances are quite hesitant to defederate from them, unlike the other 2 instances (Hexbear and Lemmygrad) who are largely considered to be worse than .ml and widely defederated from. The main devs, dessalines and Nutomic are, unfortunately, hardcore Tankies. Nearly all censoring actions on .ml though are done by dessalines and another admin, davel.

So the next best thing we can do as users is a general call to "boycott" their instance and not post comments or posts on a .ml comm. To choose to post to and grow other alternative comms that are off-.ml, no matter how big the comm on .ml looks (this also just leads to a better overall healthier Threadiverse). And to document things as we go, like I've done here

Lol, I just made a meme the other day on this from a parents perspective

Welcome to the club! Have fun printing the night away lol

Aww yea, the Threadiverse is in the big leagues now!

Do you WANT restricted access‽ Better do what the scamm legit support person wants!

Goat simulator 3

Unfortunately, Chuck Mangione was the third :(

I think your instance might be a tad behind on federation, I had fixed it like within a minute after posting lol

Lol reading it wrong, that's the comment that @SomethingBlack@lemmy.world wrote that dessalines removed

In fact, forget the app
