I don’t consider this acceptable simply because it happens randomly.
Better? I guess they could just pin us and grad at the top, but that wouldnt seem fair.
If we’re talking fairness, .world is mentally a Reddit fork more than it is a Lemmy instance. Fairness dictates they
be purified by firenot show up in instance recommendations.Unironically, I believe you could make the argument that their size is incompatible with a healthy federation network and they really shouldn’t show up in recommendations.
https://join-lemmy.org/instances
From what I can see, they do not appear in the results.
Huh. Nice.
Considering who made lemmy and absolute shitton of liberalism and chuddery in the rest of internet, it would be fair.
You think it’s a good thing that new people looking to join Lemmy are directed towards Hexbear (or Lemmygrad or even ML)?
Be honest.
Ignoring the Grad/Hexbear stuff, didn’t the ml devs found the entire lemmyverse or whatever it’s called? Why should they not be allowed to be visible on a page that they’re probably the maintainers of?
I bet some of these ding dongs don’t even know that. It would blow their minds that the codebase is maintained by commies. I’m pretty sure there was a time people were very aware of that and even wanted to fork the codebase because “something” might happen, because of the tankies running it.
A valid concern, truthfully. Who could feel safe having communists maintaining their codebase? What if they remove all the classes?
It’s programmed in Rust. There are no classes to begin with. Only traits and structs.
Classless programming as Marx intended.
Even worse, a whole programming language based on borrowing!? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to let a communist borrow your toothbrush?
why else would they be working so hard to get a replacement made in Java???
Yea it’s really frustrating that a bunch of people who left reddit because capitalism ruined it came here and start immediatly insisting we make it more like reddit.
they have made some attempts to write it from the groun up. The latest one is piefed afaik
Except the devs don’t really want that many more people. It’s extra work for them
Be that as it may, it’s not some lemmitor’s privilege to deny it to them based on ideological disagreement.
My favorite bit from this exchange:
they should talk about us more and complain about us louder. i want all the cool people to come here. i want donald trump to tweet about how bad we are. i want netanyahu to say we are in league with hamas.
honestly them complaining about you guys is what made me more open to MLs. I was glad that there were people that didn’t just see the western point of view, and yeah, I checked out what you were all about. Thanks a bunch!
I know I personally was drawn to hexbear specifically because there was so much outcry about it on .world I felt inclined ti check for myself, leading me to discover that hexbear was actually pretty cool
Back in the CTH days the whole reason I checked out CTH was because it was a boogeyman throughout reddit. People were terrified of them.
Anybody have that pic of our logo on a bag of food in Gaza?
The followup is great too
Boring. Ended up just being the standard you think cia is bad reasoning.
Did think they’d use something harsher than scum though
Obviously I’m replying to someone who can’t see it right now, but the CIA admitted they did a lot of this stuff, it’s publicly accessible information, the Venezuela shit is documented thoroughly, you can see exactly how it went down. People get me so irate sometimes.
Right. And I’d point all this out but based on the number of insults they’re throwing at everyone else not worth it
Yeah, I figured that’s how it would go
And now theirs others calling the thread a honey pot for admins 😂
Oh that’s me. I’m trying to work out what they mean by genocide
The entirely discredited allegation that China is genociding Uyghurs, presumably.
Either that or some nonsense about Ukraine and Russia. If they’re really old school they’ll bring up the holodomor.
🤏🧔♂️🟥
That appears to be one of the other hexbear users who replied to me in this thread trying to settle a no-stakes wager lmao
Edit: I’m trying, and failing to explain to my partner how this conversation is eating its own tail, and why it’s so funny to me
Odds they think what’s happening in Gaza is a genocide?
I think they probably do, but because we refused to vote for Kamala, we are apparently pro-genocide. Makes no sense to me
Or just because don’t think Ukraine is one. Or China. Or yeah didn’t want to vote for someone okay with continuing the one happening in Gaza 😭
I realised I didnt actually answer the question, I’d say75% chance that they don’t think it’s genocide, but if asked they’ll tell you it’s a really complicated situation. They’ll do the Joe Rogan method of having a fully formed opinion that they can easily backpedal as being uninformed at the first sign of opposition.
Oh I was going more for rhetorical question but I can see it being a toss up between that or going full zionist hasbara
I’d be interested in finding out, but part of me thinks, based on the profile picture, that this [user] never has much to say about anything important and when they* do it’s bothsides-ism, but only so long as both sides means “both kinds of liberals.”
Edit: removed habitual use of the term guy *again, habitual gendered language that I failed to catch as I was typing.
Every time I see these absolute dorks seething about any reminder that we exist, it feels like drinking a nice cold glass of water: I can feel life and vitality returning to my cells.
Idk if that “have you tried reaching out to the sites founders” thing was tongue in cheeks or not but in case it wasn’t friendly reminder the sites founders are at least leftists if not commies. They made a website that was like reddit but without all the shortfalls caused by capitalism than all these fucking dorks came over here after capitalism ruined reddit and start insisting this site be more hostile to everybody left of Hilary Clinton.
Oh it definitely was
“Unlike you tankies, I’m the one true leftist™.”
- person obsessed with calling their opponents “removed”.
What a little crybaby, goddamn.
Interesting that there is some mild push-back in such a short thread.
‘‘I’m not owned! I’m not owned!!’’ I continue to say as I shrink into a corncob from getting rolled over by tankies.
The coward made a throwaway just to post this.
You can access all content? Not really, since those losers at storm.front decided to pre-emptively defederate us as a last resort.
Crybaby lemmitor: Excuse me, I’m a leftist
Same crybaby lemmitor:
That’s not how federation or open source works.
And the overwhelming majority of Lemmy’s active users are not tankies and have no interest in tankie removed.
I am not upset. I am just stating facts, tankies and leftists are not the same thing.
tankie removed
How interesting
EDIT: the word the automod removed is a word that the Nazis liked to use to describe people and ideas they wanted to eradicate
they exist so that all the other instances in the fediverse can complain about them and all the other instances exist so that they can complain about all the other instances its quite the dynamic
Unexpected pineapple should change their name to unacceptable asshat
