And yaknow, I wouldn’t even mind being viewed that way. It’s the shitty moderation style I will mock endlessly.

He also pretty much said as much during his initial ramblings during the invasion- that ukraine and other former Soviet states are rightfully a part of Russia.

Anarchists only exist to the degree their privilege allows them to feel like they have no need for any sort of authority.

I’m sure there are some there though, as long and they bring the right flavor of kool aid

They’re leftists. Like actual leftists, some of whom subscribe to the idea that capitalism can only be overcome through violence.

There’s a lot of “well if it’s our authoritarian it’s ok”

My real beef with them is the same as my beef with .Ml and Lemmygrad, little baby mods and admins that hit you with the instance wide ban for disagreeing with their opinions

More egregious is getting banned for pointing out the admins suck

I mean, rebuilding the USSR is Putins historical justification for invading ukraine. It was a part of his whole rambling speech in the beginning.

And he was banned for saying that? Pft.

The irony of being banned for being a “debatebro” in fucking hexbear of all places, where “debatebro” is just the zeitgeist.

Call it what it is, he like most others was banned for having differing beliefs than the chosen narrative there.

”Millions of students across the country don’t have to imagine this deep surveillance of their most private communications: it’s a reality that comes with their school districts’ decision to install AI-powered monitoring software such as Gaggle and GoGuardian on students’ school-issued machines and accounts”

So the big issue with this is that they shouldn’t have private communications on their school laptops anyway. It’s the exact same thing with companies not wanting you to use their provided devices for personal reasons.

They own the device, you’re borrowing it, assume it’s compromised on every level and keep any communication that matters on your own devices.

Alright, so, being a single issue voter is bad, very bad, and if that’s your approach to political thought you should feel bad

and that includes if your single issue is Palestine

Seconding banished, it’s great with mods

 

Like, honestly. What a joke of an admin.

 

This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly

Edit: I'm convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

 

Edit: changed post to use Imgur link instead of downloading a file

What a bunch of fucking babies, lol

Alternative link in case media doesn’t load

 

That is all, thank you.

Update: so, the responses this far are almost universally that these bots have been blocked by users of the community. There is also a general disinterest in defederating, which is on brand.

You guys wanna do a poll or something or?

I’d like to lead my thoughts with a quote from the admins regarding bots within lemm.ee:

“Bots must not be responsible for the majority of content in any community”

There are two entire instances that immediately spring to mind, zerobytes.monster’s b0t user, and lemmit.online. Their content is quite literally 90% bot content with 0 engagement, and they spam constantly.

Now here at lemm.ee we generally don’t defend from stuff, that’s actually why I prefer this instance. Yes, you can block the bot users and that solves the problem, but hear me out:

These bots ruin the experience on Lemmy for new users. They spam so many posts, attempting to block them from a mobile app will usually crash the app. If you’re a new user coming to Lemm.ee sorting by all, you see tons and tons of empty posts.

Zerobytes is particularly egregious because it doesn’t even repost actual content, just thousands and thousands of links to Reddit posts. It’s a spam instance, period, and I feel strongly about this.

Lemmit.online isn’t quite as bad, but it’s an entire instance dedicated to spam reposting everything from Reddit. All the posts have zero engagement, and the comment value is gone so everything decent gets buried.

Yes there are ways around this on an individual user level, but then you’re creating a context where there’s even less engagement in the vast majority of “new” posts.

Anyway, thems my thoughts. Repost bots are stupid, one that drive traffic to Reddit are even worse. Thoughts?

 

Are we just stuck with browsers for the time being? I mean it works but fuck I miss Apollo already.
