YES YES YES NEW KONSI

Nice! You even went through the effort to make the head silhouette match 🤌

Lol it's all good! Live long and prosper 🖖

Thanks! Fixed

Hi! I saw your edit and see you got your answer, but I'll just leave this here for record keeping as well.

No, not a bot, I explicitly didn't want to automate this at all so every one of my posts has been manually done by my hands. The most I do is notifications of new posts from .ml based off their RSS feed

Why am I cross-posting .ml?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 ::: spoiler CW: Original transphobic Comment from Nutomic

:::

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

Cartman would honestly be a better president, Meteor would be even better, but his pools cratered in the last election

But if we did that, we'd also need to send like CEOs since after all there's profit in war, won't you think of the poor poor CEOs?

I might buy a license if Rarlabs invents a Tardis. Maybe

It's the new Saddam Hussein meme, you're going to think you see them everywhere for weeks

It's positive because it means further investment into Linux by vested organizations that don't have profit motives (eg governments) and less investment into proprietary profit-driven spyware (Microsoft). So very positive IMHO

No I think I just forgot to paste lmao

It's in the crosspost menu

Yea fuck it, I was planning on launching a meme instance soon because I also have the perfect meme domain (don't ask me how many domains I have)

But now I'm shelving that and revitalizing my ST instance plans instead.

Ill just have to get around to making the LCARS Lemmy UI later lol

Shots fired lmao

Well I am shocked, SHOCKED I say! Well, not that shocked.

I had wanted to start a Star Trek instance because I have a domain with LCARS in it that would be fitting, but I never got around to it because startrek.website existed

I think Star Trek fandom is big enough for a focused instance, just not 2 of em lmao

Hmm you can get around that comm ban by spreading a link that goes through another instance, because lemmy.ml blocks !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works for pretty much the same reasons (Can't let your captive audience know of the outside dissent!)

So a link like this https://lemmy.world/c/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com will allow a StarTrek.website user to at least see the comm

Oop forgot the tag, fixed

Yea, that bit was kinda weird, I also got caught off guard by Peggy making that "Kill myself" joke...seemed out of character to me

I miss old YT
