I mean sure, good news is always welcome, but if I’m bombarded by a website by cookie request, download the app AND fullscreen newslettersignup popups… I’m out. Jesus christ.

The downvoting is part of the joke (:
We have socialism in europe and it’s pretty great. Just leave us alone with forced upon communism before we’re technologically ready.
Exactly. Those are the kinds of personalities that can commit atrocities.
At least lemmy wasn’t started by tankies… oh wait.
See my response to the other person.
Read for yourself what he writes on his website. It’s pretty grim shit. https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/master/socialism_faq.md#did-mao-kill-millions-of-people
Conspiracy? One of the devs has a website where he literally openly denies the Uyghur genocide, Tiananmen square massacre, “Mao did nothing wrong”, “Ukrainians are Nazis”, denies every single critique of USSR and China, and a whole lot of other vile shit.

This is the real test of the fediverse. Can software written by a piece of shit like that exist without being influenced by their garbage political views?
I think it’s possible and I like Lemmy to thrive but it’s important to keep an eye out for tankies and to not close your eyes to the reality of who started this.
The way it works in practice is that the largest instances are where most people go. What is stopping those devs from imposing their views on the community, e.g. by censoring?
You leave reddit because the ceo introduces shitty pricing but you don’t mind the main devs being literal fascists?
That’s an interesting thought… haven’t considered that!
If my instance were to go offline, do the posts/comments stay visible by the other instances?
Ahh! No (android) mobile app is yet able to access kbin, right?
Well, I had to see a ukrainians-are-nazis meme on my timeline and that’s not something I can just ignore. If I can’t find a way to get rid of that type of vomit I can’t continue using this platform. Remaining neutral always favors the oppressor.
lemmy.world seemingly doesn’t… if I understand this correctly, if my registration is on an instance that blocks lemmygrad, I would not see it even when brosing ALL?
Indeed. Email is a good analogy to explain the federation principle, not to argue about the finer details. But going along with it, spam email is being blocked. Whole IP ranges are blocked (“defederated”) by spam filters, because otherwise, good grief…
