The BBC was full on pushing the propaganda that Iraq had WMDs, were they credible then?

Were they credible when pushing for every single US war and proxy war since?

Are they credible in their full support for Israel, and condemnation of the Palestinian resistance as terrorism?

Remember that time the BBC got caught editing photos of vloggers in China to make it look dystopian, then quietely edited the photos after getting caught?

BBC is not a credible news source, they’re an orientalist rag / tabloid journalism.

Other front ends might not support these settings. We only support lemmy-ui and jerboa.

A lot of the above have communities in various forms, and they predate lemmy.

The amdocs funding isn’t that concerning to me, because unlike signal (which also had shady funding, via the US DoD / OTF), the matrix back-end can be self-hosted, built from source, and run entirely privately.

I just prefer fediverse, because it refers to the common network of apps and services speaking the same language: activitypub. There’s not really any such thing as the “threadiverse”, because lemmy can talk to mastodon, friendica, peertube, discourse, gnusocial, plerome, wordpress, lotide…

A lot of these have communities just like lemmy, and choosing to layout comments flat vs in a tree, is entirely a UI consideration for many of them. So if the thing distinguishing “threadiverse” is just comment trees and communities, then a lot of fediverse services already have those.

• Messages from friends, partner and family.
• Emails about package arrivals.
• Servers going down.

Everything else only comes in once per day at a specific time.

Some of my favs

• Vegan steak
• Vegan chicken
• Vegan bufallo wings
• Vegan bacon

Completely unnecessary. Vegan chefs are wizards nowadays, and can show you how to make replacements for everything you need.

I make vsteak, and vchicken in large amounts about once per week, and use it in recipes. I can share the recipes I use if you like. I make vbacon about once per month, its a bit more labor intensive, but it tastes great.

Even apart from ethics, its 10x cheaper, and doesn’t contain any of the puss, blood, and feces that come in your meats currently.

I believe all tooltips were made unselectable since they’re supposed to be detail popups, and also should dissappear when your mouse leaves the area. I have no idea the use case for someone needing to manually copy and paste timestamps (and those aren’t even formatted with rfc3339) into a document… at that point you might as well use one of the many API clients or curl and parse the data yourself.

Anyways this community isn’t an issue tracker, they should open up an issue on lemmy-ui for something like this.

That’s the way we’d prefer it, and it’s already working in lemmy. But unfortunately that wasn’t added until after full instance blocking, so most instances kept their blocklists.

We have instance community blocks working rn, and instance user blocks will be in the next release.

Of course I do think instances should fully block some servers, like the ultra right kiwi-farms and stormfront type ones… but unfortunately those communities set up on the big instances now anyway.

The lemmy back end has no way to filter front pages by specific instances, you’ll need to open up an issue on its github there.

Also, did you use an llm to generate this?

There’s nothing we can do about server-to-server blocking, but I think over the long term, people will join servers that do less instance blocking, so that they can personally be in control of what they see.

And of course everyone not on restricted servers will still see your replies / takedowns, so it really only harms them. In a big way, responses are just as important to onlookers, than the one you’re responding to.

You can search communities, but in the communities page, they’re only sorted by active users.

Dang. 0 to 60% charged in 5 minutes. This just broke every argument for gas stations, and it’s likely only going to get better.

The stormfront / kiwifarms strategy seems to be to set up shop anywhere that won’t ban them, and lets them doxx whoever they want. And there are A LOT of lemmy servers that won’t take action and ban them.

government is unelected and visibly does authoritarian stuff such as censorship, violent repression of various undesireables and supression of independent worker’s unions?

all of these claims are provably false.

terrorized its own population

The authorities would literally nail your door shut from the outside if one person in your city block was tested positively and many people almost starved in their flats during these absolute lockdowns.

These are some yeonmi park level claims.

Thx, I’ll add it to the list. Love that channel too so I’ll watch this soon.
