Empathy [he/him]

what are some of the other indicators?

Who are those lackeys?

Is it just the US saying not to trust the Chinese government?

interesting post history

your post history sure is a ride

I originally meant to post this on the thread on transgender@lemmy.blahaj.zone, but here goes:

Here’s some very important context for anybody visiting this thread that may be tempted to join hexbear: don’t, unless you love authoritarian governments.

Beware also: many lemmy.ml users are actually hexbear users that are exploiting the lack of moderation on lemmy.ml.

For a long time now, hexbear users have been brigading communities all over Lemmy, spamming pro-russia and pro-china propaganda all over them. It looks like that’s what they’re doing here too. That’s why other instances defederated from them.

Hexbear users regularly pose as communists, which I don’t personally have any problems with, but way more than they love communism, they love authoritarian governments. And for a while they had been literally posting memes mocking democracy with links in the comments promoting authoritarianism (NOT communism).

Hexbear users, aka tankies, for a while had also tried to claim that “tankies” is a generalization that applies to all leftists and that we should all be offended by it. It’s not, it’s almost always used as a term for people broadcasting their oppression fetish on main.

I’ve been using Zoho mail with a namecheap domain and had no significant issues, besides being marked as spam maybe once or twice?

The advice I’m most scared not to follow as I get older: don’t dismiss everything that the younger generations say or do as being just a trend, and learn more about it.

Awesome, I’m looking for frameworks like this, thanks for sharing.

Anything that involves deception, which unfortunately seems to be most of marketing.

I don’t mind when people just try to get their product out there, just let it be known that it exists and does X thing differently or better. I hate when they mean to deceive. Something that is intended to deceive but isn’t technically a lie is not really better than a lie, to me.

Easiest solution IMO if you’re already using CloudFlare, even the free version: you can filter out certain countries. Otherwise, there’s probably other alternatives, even open source ones. Good terms to search for with your cloud provider or self hosted software may be middlewares, firewalls, serverless, edge functions, etc.

We get it, you’re bottoms. Can you stop shouting it daily on main, please?

I’m pretty damn left leaning and I’ve never been called a tankie. I rarely even see anyone being called a tankie, except people who are defending authoritarians. The scope of the word “tankie” seemed generally pretty clear to me.

I thought that the line was that one supports owning the means of production and the other supports authoritarian governments, am I confused?

Why is it insane?

I want to add that, like you, I’ve become a big fan of restricting the numbers of ways to do something.

IMO, It’s more time wasted choosing, more time wasted reviewing, and makes it easier to overlook errors. I want more opinionated languages and frameworks.

If you are arguing against voting, then I’d like to know: do you think your chances are better if Trump wins, if Biden wins, or do you believe they are indistinguishable? I’m having trouble understanding this.

I kept seeing so many different ones recommended and I kept getting weird issues I didn’t understand with most of them. I don’t often need to make a bootable Linux USB, but every time, Rufus did the job quick and easy.

Rust, because I’m lazy and I want a compiler that helps me out. Performance is a pretty neat bonus.

For a while now, I kept seeing posts about the Israel/Palestine issue, and almost every time, when I looked at their poster’s history, they were full of negative news against Israel and the US (often with a negative comment from the OP about the US, even when the article isn’t about to the US), and often contained lots of positive news, comments and remarks about China and Russia. I find this very suspicious, but I may be overly cynical.

I’ve almost only been seeing this on lemmy.ml and lemmy.ca. Perhaps I’m imagining it, but I also feel like I’ve seen these accounts promote not voting during the next election.

I started tagging these accounts a few months ago and I frequently see their posts on the front page.
