  • I crosspost all good non-tankie content

    This post is a privacy problem that is absolutely pervasive in all dystopian authoritarian or authoritarian-trending states to include China, Russia, US, NK, UK and now worrisomely the broader EU

    Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

    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 help vitilize non-.ml comms and 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 active niche comms.

    Megathread on the issue

    Some highlights from the link:

    Dessalines, head .ml admin, lead Lemmy dev actively spreading genocide denialism https://sh.itjust.works/post/61371958

    .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

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

    "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

    “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

    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.





  • The political landscape has greatly changed since then. Then socialists were practically nobody, a few elections I think here and there but nothing too important at most

    Now after Mamdani, you’ve got real socialists not only winning major elections. But unseating major establishment Dems with large AIPAC funding behind them and STILL losing. I forgot the particular race atm, but one had a dem incumbent where AIPAC spent over $50 million and STILL lost.

    The establishment Dems no longer and should not be catered too, atp, if Republishits maintain control capitulating to establishment Dems wouldn’t change a damn thing either


  • “Don’t rock the boat! Let’s just keep the status quo for another 30 or 40 years” "We gotta take the high road guys!’

    Fuck that noise, it’s high time we stopped associating establishment dems as the left. And it’s not “drama” to call out the bs they do and support. The meme is accurate to their behavior, you’re just mad it violates some sort of weird 1960s era political decorum rules or some shit


  • Establishment Dems are close-to-right-wing (and if you compare to political landscapes outside the US, they are right-wing by and large). They line their pockets with big corpo money and AIPAC just the same as right-wing fucks.

    And the fact that those establishment Dems are all pissy about the rise of the “horrible” Progressive Dems should tell you all you need to know.

    We’re probably witnessing a historical change over in all honesty, by the time this is all said and done, the Republishit party will fracture and fade and establishment Dems will be the new “conservative” option with progressives being the left
