  • authoritarian cult of personality in charge of North Korea is beyond simply believing in a certain form of society and economics, it's unhinged and sociopathic.

    Just to add to the unhinged, they (Prominent tankies like davel, dessalines, cowbee, Geneva_conveience, yogthos esp) constantly push the idea that authoritarianism doesn't exist and is nothing but a "CIA anti-communism Op" (or alternatively you'll see them spout "All states are authoritarian so therefore none are")

  • "Lemmy doesn't have a Tankie image problem so who cares about lemmy.ml" meanwhile, Everytime a Reddit thread about the Threadiverse gets big....

  • Well this particular pathway isnt about getting .ml users to leave, but more "redirecting" good non-tankie content off their comms and into non-.ml comms

    They can't even see my posts lmao

  • It's because it's part of my .ml cross-posting campaign, I try to maintain the original link as much as possible so it shows in the crosspost menu of clients

    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 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

    "NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

    General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

    "If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

    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.

  • It's supposed to be about exploration man, like I don't remember very many webrings having tailored descriptions

  • Scrum

  • Do you do the initial formatting on the same windows machine? Maybe it's fucking up the format process in some way

  • That's actually crazy because windows these days actually defaults to formatting drives in exfat lmao

  • Oh shit you're right lol, I'll crosspost it there too

  • Full native cross compatibility with basically everything modern, if you need a drive to work between Linux, Mac and windows or even a device like a Blu-ray player that's exfat

    It's fat32, but better and without that annoying 4GB file limitation

  • They made it no longer maintained by the clients, but it's still functional

  • Np, if you're wondering why it was so quick:

  • Afaik it hasn't been announced yet, I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to avoid commitment until they have a plan to deal with the wonderful shortages in an attempt to keep it's pricing as low as possible

  • Updated with archive link

  • No not really, because of my stance against .ml, my detractors/their defenders will show up from time to time no matter what account I use, take this one for example, it's one of my oldest alts with extensive posting and comments so anyone who wanted to block it would have by now.

    Though it really isn't that often, I think I'm going about a week or more before encountering another comment about me "being a bot"/CIA op

  • Some say this has already happened.

    A dozen, a hundred it's impossible to tell

  • Well you're no fun, but ig it does bring up...what IS the question?

    The question of...
