They’re Tankies.

You probably want to avoid their instances like lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml unless you like to root for the tanks in the Tianamen square massacre.

every time I think back on explaining very basic things like "slavery is bad" and "keeping violent people around is bad" to Very Smart Computer Touchers I get the urge to run into the forest

shout out to the lemmy developers for not making us be stuck on the other site

shout out to mastodon devs for making us have a better life than on Twitter

shout out to the pixelfed devs for allowing a actual photography platform to exist

shout out to the peertube devs for helping us not be stuck on youtube until the end of time

ETA: Shout out to the server operators who make the stuff be done

@timbray -- nice! added it to my blogroll...

@baldur Understanding can and should be a deliverable.

The TAMI Show was a concert film released in 1964, it's one of a couple of films that meet the criteria I'm about to discuss, but it is the one who's name I remember, so it's the one we're going to talk about.

You can watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnFbkV17O08

or read about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T.A.M.I._Show

But, in both cases, you will probably not notice the thing that is important to this discussion, so bare with me.

@cancel @neauoire uhm, amazing

… where every platform communicates with every other platform. i’ve rarely ever seen a post from mastodon on here, and even if it’s technically possible, it doesn’t seem that it happens very often.

likewise, i’ve rarely if ever seen a post from lemmy on mastodon. these two platforms just don’t seem to interact much.

the fediverse is already very small. fragmenting it even further by having multiple services that basically don’t talk to each other is not good. we need to either (a) aggressively find a way to bridge certain lemmy communities to be more visible on mastodon, especially location-based communities, or (b) i think that i’ll have to decide to only use mastodon in the future, because that’s where all my irl-friends are (yes i have those too, i do not only exist in a terminally online state 😊 and because mastodon is bigger already and that’s why i think that it has a bigger chance of taking off.

---

so, what do i suggest should happen?

especially for location-based communities (australia, london, darmstadt, …) it should be more probable for people living in these locations to draw use out of the lemmy community. maybe it’s just a question of showing lemmy content from these communities on mastodon home pages, or auto-subscribing mastodon users to nearby lemmy communities. something like that.

Doesn't Reign have a marching band?

Couldn’t prevent myself from implementing support for socialspec.org as a plugin in GoBlog, given it already supports most of the pieces like automatic blogroll and feeds, and I must have just had to add redirects and some CORS handling. As I’m not an iOS user and can’t use the HyperTexting app, I don’t really have any use out of it, but initiatives supporting the open web are nice anyway. You can see my profile at sodir.org.

Oh non 🥺🥺

@stefano I plan on making a PR for BSD on Monday.

Merci Thomas Vdb !

@Monolecte Et puis pathos ça veut dire souffrance et il me semble que ça les gène pas plus que ça leur situation psychologique à ceux là.

On possède un vocabulaire riche et varié pour ce genre de cas en français qui va de ordure a salaud avec toute un tas de déclinaisons entre les deux qui devrait toutes les priver de trouver une place dans le groupe social.

Et là, non seulement c'est pas des parias, mais ils se font carrément nommer 'élites'. Les meilleurs. Quelle audace!

So a few corrections:

1. Tankies aren’t a bad thing, and it’s a nazi dogwhistle as pointed out by your link.

2. Being a ‘Tankie,’ isn’t a bad thing, it’s being anti-nazi. The Term was invented by nazis, to criticize the soviet union crushing a nazi uprising with tanks, barely a decade after they won WWII.

3. The tanks in Tiannamen square were the good guys. Objectively so. Maybe don’t root for the CIA?

Please be smarter than you are. The people that own every aspect of your life are obviously going to lie to you to keep you under their ownership. It takes very little to debunk their lies.
