24·10 days agoIntent meaning they’re not an ISP that caters to piracy
E.g. you start an ISP called Pirate Connections, advertise that you cater to piracy and have specific piracy friendly features (optimized for torrents, gang planks, minimal logging etc) is bad
Lol I’ve seen similar pics of that before, I always wondered how the print out actually looks lmao
This was crossposted and is available in the crosspost menu of your client.
Edit: found the exact post, it’s the same title and everything: https://sh.itjust.works/post/54438100
For one, I don’t really crosspost from any other instances comms (save for the occasion where I know of a fitting small niche comm). For two, that’s on an entirely different comm on a different instance ( !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world vs !funny@sh.itjust.works that this post is on.) Third, I only crosspost from .ml, so the irony here is that the OOP on .ml actually reposted it instead of crossposting lmao
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.
Some highlights from the link:
.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.
3·3 months agoThis was picked up on a .ml crosspost, this could have been picked up from Reddit or anywhere really since it’s a screenshot, so don’t go around accusing people of following a shit stain based on a single screenshot
It’s DBZ rules, it’s going to be a long protracted build up and then it’ll be over in 5 minutes
It’s very good, but it’s also one of those things where they did the right things (essentially preventing forcing an ISP to be a enforcer of sorts) for the wrong reasons (Cox had more money)
