It’s free reading material that you can access from your phone anywhere. I love it!

Title gore. I can barely understand what that says.

Just use “they”

Apparently you’re not meeting their ideological purity standard.

I started looking into Lemmy after I installed LibreWolf and it was listed as one of their socials. I already use Mastodon and Reddit is one of the few proprietary social media sites I’m still on. Lemmy seemed like a no-brainer.

Doesn’t the “block channel” option do that?

That’s lovely but I’m more concerned about my internal organs

Most news about Ukraine is either going to be imperialist propaganda from the US or imperialist propaganda from Russia with occasional imperialist propaganda from the EU.

I agree with them but I don’t think Israel has much room to talk.

I’m probably going to still use DuckDuckGo for now but this is such a stupid unnecessary move. Seeing some russian “disinformation” wasn’t going to suddenly turn me into a Putin stan.

Is there anywhere I can find out more info on the Mastodon - Pleroma schism? This is the first I’m hearing of it.

Yes but Lemmy.ml is explicitly leftist. I accepted that some level of gate-keeping was to be expected. I just don’t see the removal of “libs” to be a necessary part of that.

Simply because this Instance is for leftists doesn’t mean “leftist” needs to be defined narrowly.

That’s my two-cents anyways.

I second this. As long they’re not right wing, I don’t think we should be overly concerned with ideological purity.

Probably the same time I started turning leftist, in middle school I was sort of a tech-bro bleeding-heart libertarian but sometime in high school I started looking at socialist texts. My trust in silicon valley was pretty dependent on my trust in capitalism as a whole.

Reading this made me spend over 15 mins looking up probotic supplements

My knee-jerk reaction is either tech bro douche or privacy minded anti-goverment type.

I don’t think you can really put the genie back in the bottle here. After the last month every country that borders russia and isn’t allied with them is going to be reaching for NATO with both hands.

Edit: I have the feeling people fail to understand this comment ;)

Maybe attempt to expand upon it then. So that more people might come to understand it.

When I see MLM I can only think of those Multi-Level Marketing scams. :p
