I've been banned from .ml for being a 'racist' for being anti-Xi, despite the fact that I am Chinese, and pointed out my ethnicity as such in the discussion. I guess antisemitic Jews aren't the only weird accusation getting thrown about nowadays.

Turning every landfill into a fission reactor is certainly one way to fix the landfill issue

Can we not have the hundred identical stupid jokes in the comment section like we did in reddit?

An aide with the Biden Harris campaign said the individuals were among a group of people that weren’t allowed to attend the event because they had previously disrupted and shut down events with Democratic elected officials.

Seeing as there's been no denial, I'm guessing this is the truth.

I believe in the tolerance social contract. You deserve rights so long as you respect the rights of others. Kiwi farms has absolutely no respect for anybody's rights, and hence does not deserve any themselves.

If I hadn't left yet, this would prompt me to leave

I was, till lemmy got some decent mobile apps

The issue at hand is there are way too many neutral / unrelated communities which are resident on .ml, and it'd be nice if we could manage to move some of them off.

There is ad supported, ad free and premium. Somehow that's still not enough options for the FOSS extremists.

Because South Korea is not actively trying to wipe out NK from existence, but actually the opposite is trying to reach out to NK and stabilise relations. 'War' is a hilarious way to describe their status. Way to strawman the argument.

You claim Zelensky is illegitimate and authoritarian for not holding elections in the middle of a fight for the country's survival. The logic there is hilariously bad. Setting aside the absolute waste of resources, the last thing any country needs in such a scenario is for their leaders to start campaigning over who's going to take control. It's not the time and place for it. If you want to blame anybody, blame Russia

mass-exodus on that basis just isn’t how things should work in 2024.

Why not? You've made an assertion without any reason backing it up.

Nobody's suggesting a mass exodus to a single lemmy server, but rather just a dispersal from .ml to the rest of the fediverse. There's no reason it can't or shouldn't happen.

Oh you mean the deal where they tried to make their seizure of Crimea legitimate?

Ok, this is reaching russian troll levels of disinformation. I think it's clear enough to any 3rd parties just why you're getting your comments deleted.

The NYT is one of the biggest, most recognised publications worldwide. If they don't meet your requirements, I don't think that's a realistic expectation

5 figures and counting on Factorio. Do not recommend, gets somewhat repetitive after a while.

I look forward to everybody outside the states being able to access it as well.

I've read it multiple times. None of it quite addresses why we can't just move communities away from .ml en masse. From the votes I'm not the only one having trouble discerning your point.

It's not the community mods abusing their power, it's the admins of .ml. Their rule #1 is 'no bigotry', which sounds nice but gets interpreted in very... creative ways.

Well yes, that's what this entire post is about. My comment is just replying to OP that it's a little bit more than 'block and move on'.

Yep, the horror. I absolutely deserved an instance-wide ban for the terrible things I said.

I do love the amount of facts and proof that is been dug up and displayed in this post, many thanks to all those going to the effort!

I'm using sync myself, but I think most of the lemmy apps have the feature by now

Plastic screens are so much more durable

Except when they foldable

Eh

That money will likely mean the difference between victory and defeat for Ukraine, and all the geopolitical fallout that entails. It is however unlikely to change Israel's stance on Gaza as long as Netanyahu remains in power.

Try sync, there's a multitude of block options. By instance, domain, user, community, etc.

So your wall of text boiled down to 'we can, but we won't because nobody cares'. That's pretty different from 'that's not how things should work in 2024'.

You can dream that that’s how communities ought to work but they just don’t.

Ironically, that's how most of us ended up here on lemmy, we as a community decided to move off reddit.

Ah I thought somebody mentioned they got defederated. Probably my bad

You might be surprised how prevalent universal healthcare is in Asia. Source, am Asian.

That aside, my point was largely to poke holes in the US-centric viewpoint that seems to be the default online.

The Wandering Inn handles this well, where to hit large milestones you need not just xp but self development.

Pretty sure the ship was an excuse

Seems like many people aren't aware that's an option

Yes he is. Everybody outside the states will get it too

Meh. The game had horrible performance for a pixel art 2d game.

Which instance is that?

Solve it by raising the worldwide standard of education and quality of life, because that's proven by far the most reliable method of controlling the birth rate.

I've yet to hear anybody complain or disagree with that approach.

Emphasis on trains makes it sound more like Factorio

Using the website interface, you can go to your settings and block specific instances from there.

Yeah, worded in such a way as to make it seem false. And you can't even blame it on the article editor

Yep!

But how many MAU did Rohan have?
