Normally people block ml quite quickly after arriving. Within a month or two. Maybe you’re not yet aware that you can personally blacklist entire instances, not just communities and users.

I mean, what do you expect from an explicitly (m)arxist-(l)eninist instance. Their entire religion is "west bad, russia and china literally the best" and censoring any wrongthink. And yet there you are implying Russia is behind a bad thing. Of course they'd take action against you.

Imo fediverse projects really need to federate instance rules. Just include them in the instance actor (if they aren't already) like you'd do with a community, then use them if available.

Lmao no in general but yes for lemmy!

Glad that the fediverse allows for mitigating this somewhat by design… but this has absolutely opened my eyes to the glaring flaws on the entire Lemmy platform as a whole.

@dnkboston the US admin and Chinese admin both wanted the chips to flow and Trump wanted to protect his good mate Jensen, that's the actual story here.

the alleged spy girlfriend influencing Jensen? to do the thing he really wanted to do in the first place? come on now

Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.

I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

If you're concerned about rising tax in the UK (many of us are more concerned by the decline in public sector spending in health & education, of course), then this chart from Dan Neidle illustrates the impact of the continuing freeze on income tax thresholds - a classic bit of stealth taxation from the Tories.

This is not to say other rises are insignificant, but the continuing increase of tax on middle-earners income, could have been, but hasn't been reversed by Labour...

My Royal Institution lecture about soil biodiversity is now live on the RI's YouTube channel!

What an incredible privilege to speak in the historic Faraday Lecture Theatre, and to such a wonderfully engaged and packed crowd too.

Watch the video to learn about the creatures that keep our planet running: Springtails that leap faster than an eye blink, slime moulds that recreated Tokyo’s rail network, armoured mites that have gone without males for around 100 million years, and the colony of tardigrades on the Moon.

Along the way, we bust some earthworm myths, look at how European earthworms are invading North America, and learn how soil life is inspiring new materials and robots.

Thanks again to the Royal Institution for inviting me to speak, as part of my recent book tour for 'The World Beneath our Feet: The Hidden Life of Soil and Why it Matters to us All' (out now!).

@spectra Can also just play and record. I suck at taking time off work and streaming feels too much like work.

Wow my interests converge in weird ways sometimes. I was already panicked by the fourth word. Then realized this was not an infosec post.

If you're having a bad day, take a moment to look at this baby red panda in a bucket. Or if you're having a good day. Or a just okay day. Any type of day is an appropriate day to look at a baby red panda in a bucket.

@aral Israel has as much a right to exist as Yugoslavia, the USSR, East Germany, Rhodesia, pre-partition India and a number of other colonial projects.

Fuck all.

Countries have always been a legal fiction that only exist as long as people uphold that fiction.
