    Weird, doesn’t seem like this comm has any specific rules on it 🤔

    Please do not post your bullshit bot driven spam here

    1. You are also not a mod here, you don’t get to dictate what I can and cannot post

    2. It’s not “bot driven” I hand crosspost/post everything

    For everyone else, this user is hostile because they’re a known Tankie who is mad because of my stance against and boycott/protesting via crossposting of lemmy.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 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.

    Megathread on the issue

    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.

    how come you all have Pixel phones?

    Because they’re one of the very few (And if you’re in the US, the only) phones with decent specs that allows you to unlock the BL

    If you’re in the US and want a privacy OS > Pixel

    If you’re outside the US and want a privacy OS but don’t want the crap tier specs that have been offered thus far by the specialty phones > Pixel or maybe a Chinese brand phone

    If you’re in or outside the US, want a privacy OS and want or need to finance the phone through your carrier so you don’t have to spend $6-800+ out of pocket > Pixel

    The 2 “instances” they talk about is because now MS has 2 versions of outlook on every install, “classic” and “new”. Classic is pretty much what you’re thinking, outlook you know upgraded with modern features and with a UI in line with the rest of the office suite.

    “New” is also exactly what you’d probably expect. Their “new and exciting totally revamped!” Version is able to do the basics (+AI) in a “slick” white spaced to fuck UI and anything beyond that is “maybe someday” territory lol
