the 'π‘΅π’π’ƒπ’π’…π’š 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆' dream catalogue true crime doc is dropping later this month, much sooner than everyone initially thought it would - it got me thinking... who really did the better version of the titular song? - charles person? - chris the burger? - no, it was neither... it was in fact mr. joe refano, a strapping young lad with a dream of stardom, and making it big in the industry, but trapped on rainbow road with a rare condition that limits his lyrical comprehension to only a single line of any given verse - here is proof of that, with guest vocals from the good doctor only known as "channard" - it's a very peculiar musical collaboration, but certainly not the strangest thing in the history books.

Just days after labeling the Senate deal to end the record-breaking shutdown at the Department of Homeland Security a β€œcrap sandwich,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., appears ready to swallow it whole

 

Two prominent organisers of demonstrations in support of Palestine in the UK have been found guilty of breaking police restrictions following their arrest during a protest against the war in Gaza in central London in January.

Chris Nineham, 62, the Stop the War Coalition's vice-chair, and Ben Jamal, 61, chair of the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, were found guilty at Westminster magistrates court on Wednesday of two counts of breaking the Public Order Act.

The activists were arrested during a pro-Palestine rally after police had imposed late restrictions limiting the event to a static protest after previously approving the route of a planned march to the BBC proposed by organisers months in advance.

Footage taken by Middle East Eye showed police officers in riot gear surrounding Nineham and bundling him into the back of a police van after a small group of protesters left Whitehall to lay flowers in Trafalgar Square to mark the deaths of Palestinian children.

Lol no no, they had just posted to both the .ml linux comm and !linux@programming.dev

I crosspost content from .ml as part of boycott/protest efforts:

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

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 help vitilize non-.ml comms and 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 active niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

"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

"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

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.

!linux@programming.dev is the primary one I contribute too as well as primary for my .ml crossposting

But, where possible, I have identified secondary comms to crosspost to. The sh.itjust.works one is the next largest off-world off-ml linux comm that isn't programming.dev

I don't really check for active mods, if it becomes an issue for a comm I usually just request to be made a mod at some point

I've never been able to quote and get spoiler to work fully, I think the 2 are just incompatible with each other, best I get is this partial working one where closed it's quoted and when you open it it goes outside the quote

Yes, but you also sent it to a .ml comm, soo it came here ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Haha yea, definitely not for taking stances against them, and they definitely don't have established precedent for banning people who question them or the authoritarian regimes. Oh wait:

You: >They are banned from many instances

Me: >No I'm not, just the authoritarian instance of .ml

You: >Ah ha so you admit your banned rabble rabble rabble

Resorted to bad faith arguments in 1 reply LMAO

Yes I'm banned from .ml, that's what tends to happen when you stand against authoritarians; bans, censorship, jail etc.

[–] cm0002@toast.ooo 6 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Ig you guys have just resorted to pure lying LMAO

None of my accounts have been widely banned and I haven't made a new account in a long time, just cycling through the same ones on smaller instances lol

[–] cm0002@toast.ooo 20 points 1 month ago

I just crosspost the post from 1 .ml comm to 1 relevant non-.ml comm maintaining the crosspost as best I can so that it collapses (for people with supporting clients at least)

Not really fitting the common definition of "spam", Users like Chobeat are probably closer to an actual spammer since when they post to the technology -.ml comm I can't crosspost it anywhere because they literally sent it to just about every "technology" comm on the Threadiverse LMAO

but even then I wouldnt consider it actual spam

I'm also not evading bans, my accounts are not banned anywhere to the best of my knowledge (well except for .ml, but that's a given lol) and I just rotate through them over and over again. I haven't made a new one in a long time.

In fact, I've recently added a listing of accounts used for this crossposting purpose to the bottom of my megathread here if you wish to block them and I'm updating the bios on each account as I use them to include a similar blurb for people

An... appreciation post....that's a nice change of pace lmao

Thanks! I'll keep doing what I can! 🫑

[–] cm0002@toast.ooo 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, okay, so why include a social credit score in PieFed? One of the main things communist China is critized for. It seems to me like one of the main reasons lemmy was created was to get away from the social credit score/karma idealogy, so why include it in PieFed?

Can you seriously not see the difference between a government implementation of it on its citizens, tied to their real world semi-permanent identities and has the power to arrest, jail or otherwise "make silent" based on said scores...and a social media app tied to pseudo-anonymous user handles as a tool to ease the already thankless burden of volunteer moderation with 0 real-world consequence should you run afoul of it? Or are you just trolling?

Probably trolling considering you're from the exploding heads-light instance lmao

Are you aware there are shit ton of metric ranking systems out there in the world? Are they all social credit scores? Man hope you don't find out about how internet routing protocols like BGP decides on routes LMAO

You still can't talk about the Hannibal Directive to me, huh? Another critique of mine about PieFed. Seems to be an Israel supremacist instance, where you can't even discuss Israelis own Reichstag fire event that got Jews to support a genocide against a semite population.

Irrelevant to the conversation at hand, we're talking about the server software at hand, not the namesake instance itself

Somebody somewhere is going to be devastated lol

[–] cm0002@toast.ooo 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I still don't fully understand why PieFed constantly shits on tankies

https://lemmy.world/post/29072279

I mean, you can take your pick of specific reasoning, but it can be boiled down to tankies are authoritarians and simp for regimes that just slap a communist label on their politics but are authoritarian hell scapes e.g. North Korea

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.

True true, but that's just an area of architecture improvement, not some evil master plan LMAO
