For a better lemmy experience, remember to block lemmy.ml , lemmygrad, and hexbear.net . On mbin, use URL spec /d/<domain_name> and block. Or since that doesn’t seem to work, just block their communities whenever they pop-up.

Moved on to the better fediverse platform, mbin, avoid lemmy instances: https://github.com/jointhefediverse-net/jointhefediverse.net/blob/main/README.md (scroll to bottom)

  • My personal opinion is that Putin would have thrown Musk out of a window already if he could have, and that Bannon is basically his proxy on this. Musk just wants smaller, easier to influence nations that his companies can more easily manipulate and be less subject to regulations as a result. Musk doesn’t give a shit about Putin, he is more concerned about there being an economy under him he can’t exploit as well.





  • Not the European institutions. They exist on their own merits that have nothing to do with building social webs.

    I’m also sick of LIVE news channels hosting on YouTube that enable chat rooms without any supervision and force it onto your face unless you close them. Just disable that shit, you aren’t dedicated streamers, who do bother to moderate chats.

    “Social webs” where they are not needed are just increasingly becoming an opportunity to saturate with shit posts, fake news, and propaganda by randoms. I am not going to them for a random two cent Joe’s opinion, I am going to them for whatever their trained and paid professionals are providing.

    It can be federated to some degree, but shouldn’t be as a two way participant . For example, as a read only instance whom you can receive a user in if you are part of that institution, but whose use will also be limited to that instance and with only a very limited and controlled portion of those instances being shared with other instances.








  • You probably crossed an admin and didn’t even realize it. Reddit is really utterly shit behind the curtains, they just happen to put on a good face that has generally fooled politicians and influencers alike. Most people care about what’s behind the curtains like they do with politics, not much at all, so they keep getting away with it specially due to the heavy control they have on the narrative. You know societies will begin to give a shit about social networks and what that is doing to our real societies when you actually have a recourse against their Black Mirror Nosedives.
