If you're wondering why I'm crossposting .ml content or for an account listing of accounts used for it, please see the bottom of this megathread

    What's going on with the lemmy world and ML infighting

  • Happy Winter Solstice (Slavic tradition)

  • From the artists Reddit thread:

    Thank you! In Slavic tradition (it can be found in some Germanic and north Italian places too), the people would dress up as spirits to thwart the evil spirits, while also singing Christmas carols. This was originally a pagan tradition that got embedded in Christianity. They'd hold an avatar for the Sun, to signify that the Sun is returning, the days are getting longer. The tradition is generally called Koliada.

    So, just people dressed up as spirits, looks sick though lmao

  • Looks legit. What do you all think?

  • 9/10 times, there's your problem right there...

  • I definitely think the main developer publicly having those opinions is awful though. Projects have had drops in support for less.

    To be clear, it's the fact that they run what many on the outside perceive to be "the flagship" instance. Had they run an instance in the same manner, but with their admin profiles and identities disconnected from their dev accounts...we wouldn't be here right now.

    Then it would be easy to dismiss the Triad when advocating the Threadiverse to mainstream users as just "random instances that many others block", just like hex and grad

  • If you're right, it might be scary good, I'm not a car guy so I couldn't tell one manufacturers body from another like that.

    But it makes sense for me as in everything I expect looks in place and proper. If they've finally figured out how to nail those details....

    We're f'd lmao

  • who is so fervently anti-communist

    Nope, Anti authoritarian as per the Wikipedia definition for Tankie:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

    Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

    for the longest time they were taking anything posted to a .ml community vias rss feed and reposting it on .world/or other instances out of spite

    Still ongoing, with reasoning supplied here:

    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.

    Megathread on the issue

    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 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

    "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 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.

    they also churn through accounts, so people who block them get to re-block them on every new account they spin up

    I had my unrelated reasons, as I've specified before, though trolling .ml for a lil while was a fun side effect I'll admit
