8·8 months agoDon’t link to or participate on Lemmy.ml, join the boycott today!
Cross-posted as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize and drive non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because of the behavior and attitudes of the .ml instance admins (see megathread link above)
Some highlights from the link:
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
“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, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
Showing support for Ukraine on .ml is worthy of a site ban - dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/32775563

3·8 months agoYeah fr, people can’t seem to find balance. It’s not hard. The article goes into it as well covering how many take “gentle parenting” too literal and actually ending up doing just as bad extreme permissive parenting
5·8 months agoToo many letters to type obvi! /s
You have a horde of accounts and your main approach is to post Somebody Else’s Opinion for engagement.
I post plenty of my own sourced content in addition to crossposting .ml
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 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 niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

“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
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
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.
and you don’t read the articles that you submit.
How could you possibly know if I do or don’t? It’s not even a requirement to post LMAO
You don’t engage on anything you’ve posted except to defend your style of posting.
I engage when I feel like engaging, at least I do contribute, Mr 2 year old 0 post and 3 comments account. There’s no rule that say posters have to engage with every single comment. If anything, that’s what’s indicative of spam bots LMAO
Lol nope try again
Now, what do do with the copilot button?
Well if you’re into running local LLMs, you could always tie it into that
Or just make it a dedicated Steam button LMAO
8·11 months agoNot really, unintended side effects.
Couple of different reasons really
Shopping for a new home instance
Exploring the Threadiverse from different perspectives (the “hot” feed you see can vary quite a bit depending on the instance you’re on lol)
Trolling .ml (or Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

Learning that the bot intended to better interconnect instance comms may not be doing as good of a job
Interconnecting wayward instances, this one for example not a single comm I posted to was federated, I had to manually federate each one for posting
Creating comms on fitting instances or just among a regular rotation of general instances so I’m not making a whole bunch on any one instance
Because what’s the fun in that?
Hehe same, I powered on a stock system to play a few years ago and I’m like sitting there wondering if it’s broken or if this really all there was to the stock system LMAO
