Something tells me they aren’t trying to get rid of eggs.

That’s a bold assumption with this administration lol

Tomorrow’s headline: “In move to lower price of eggs, Trump administration has decided to ban eggs”

They rushed this shit out so they could be “first” to make line go up to compensate for Nazi Muskrat dragging them down with him. Unsurprisingly, they fucked up and are endangering people in the process.

They can’t even meet the bar that other companies have gotten to with self-driving tech lol

This better not awaken anything in me

Supported by the “pro-life” party

I wouldn’t actually roll through with a completely blank phone/laptop, fill it with a bunch of fake but innocuous data first

I have questions, like uh did you ever…ya know…😅

The lemmy.ml instance not being treated the same as the rest of the Triad in regards to defederation

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

“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558

“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 a long list of bans/censorship and allowing the proliferation of known propaganda and misinformation outlets clearly demonstrating use of their instance and recognition to force a political narrative

Lol, I’ve been wanting to tear down my old laptops down to the board and run them “bare” in my rack as some sort of cluster lmao

I’m not sure for all use cases, I can confidently say that if you depend on networking features of X or something like xrdp (Like me lol) then that’s going to be a solid NO

But if not, then maybe?

¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ it was mostly for others.

But on a technical note, subscriber count is an almost useless metric on Lemmy. There are a LOT of dead accounts.

A far better metric is MAUs, which .ml linux ranks 29th

Context:

Why am I cross-posting .ml?

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.

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.

Yea, they basically already self isolate sooo it’d just be another Tuesday for them lmao

Thanks! Fixed

Cartman would honestly be a better president, Meteor would be even better, but his pools cratered in the last election

Yea fuck it, I was planning on launching a meme instance soon because I also have the perfect meme domain (don’t ask me how many domains I have)

But now I’m shelving that and revitalizing my ST instance plans instead.

Ill just have to get around to making the LCARS Lemmy UI later lol

I had wanted to start a Star Trek instance because I have a domain with LCARS in it that would be fitting, but I never got around to it because startrek.website existed

I think Star Trek fandom is big enough for a focused instance, just not 2 of em lmao

Hmm you can get around that comm ban by spreading a link that goes through another instance, because lemmy.ml blocks !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works for pretty much the same reasons (Can’t let your captive audience know of the outside dissent!)

So a link like this https://lemmy.world/c/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com will allow a StarTrek.website user to at least see the comm

No no, the one that goes Boop beep beep boop!

I miss old YT

Kinda, Infowars/Alex Jones was in court and being ordered to sell off their assets to pay the Sandy Hook lawsuit. The Onion put in a bid along with another company that “Totally has no association with Alex Jones”, The Onion’s bid was higher than this other company, but the judge basically said “Um actually, no you can’t have it” and froze their bid on a technicality
